Sapphire connections ponder Irish Leger bid

A decision on whether Sapphire takes up her entry in the Gain Horse Feeds Irish St. Leger at the Curragh on Saturday will not be made until later in the week.

Dermot Weld’s four-year-old has been in tremendous heart this season, with her only defeat in three races coming at the hands of the top-class Izzi Top in the Group One Pretty Polly Stakes.

Her reverse came over 10 furlongs but were she to run this weekend, she would be attempting the one-mile-six-furlong trip for the first time.
