Saint Lawrence

“Saint Lawrence has run an absolute stormer and I think if the pace had been stronger, he'd have nearly won. He's definitely improving and he's proved himself at Group 1 level; he's taken a big step up from winning a handicap at Ascot - Hollie Doyle, jockey.”

“Saint Lawrence has always shown us plenty at home, he's a very nice horse to have around and I'm just delighted to get the job done on first time of asking. I fancied all three of them, I made sure Hollie chose which one to ride so it wasn't my fault and she chose right! - Archie Watson, trainer.”

“It was probably trainer error as a two-year-old thinking as he is by Al Kazeem Saint Lawrence would be fine over seven furlongs. He is entered in the King's Stand. James (Doyle, jockey) said he can go five or six and we might look at the Leisure Stakes at Windsor which is an easy six in about two weeks' time - Roger Varian, trainer.”

“Saint Lawrence has looked a nice one and was one of ours we nominated early on in the first week (to get in certain races). Although he's by Al Kazeem he'd shown up well in May on the gallops and we thought he could be a Chesham horse. He didn't go down that route, but wasn't disgraced in the Pat Eddery or Superlative, although those races probably didn't go his way. I'm not sure about plans. Andrea said he'd get a mile, but I don't think he necessarily has to next time. He's had five runs, so maybe one or two more this season and the Royal Lodge can favour experience. Now he's a Listed winner, we have to aim at Group 3s and Group 2s and there are no soft options so we'll see. He'll be better on better ground - Roger Varian, trainer.”
