Collier in good heart
Irish Field St Leger winner Collier Hill will have a couple of days off before trainer Alan Swinbank starts to set the wheels in motion for an assault on the Emirates Melbourne Cup in November.
The seven-year-old appears to have taken his victory in the Group One contest in his stride as he travelled back to his North Yorkshire base.
Swinbank said: “He’s had a safe crossing back and he seems to have come out of the race well – I have spoken to the lass three or four times on the phone.
“Hopefully the next stop will be Australia, as long as he’s healthy. We will have a couple of quiet days and then look at getting quarantine and things sorted out.”
Collier Hill has now won in five different countries and has earned connections over ÂŁ470,000.
