Irish Leger option for Seismos

Connections of Seismos are set to decide next week whether to give the Geoffrey Freer Stakes winner one more outing before shipping him over to Australia.

The six-year-old, owned by Australian Thoroughbred Bloodstock, is being aimed at the Emirates Melbourne Cup and will either have a run in the Palmerstone House Estate Irish St Leger at the Curragh on September 14 or go into quarantine a day earlier and take in a prep Down Under.

“He’s in good form. We’re very happy with him and is probably in the best form he’s been in so far. He looks great,” said trainer Marco Botti.
