Youmzain out of Leger

Youmzain has been ruled out of the Ladbrokes St Leger by his owner Jaber Abdullah – and will instead run in the Prix Niel at Longchamp the following day.

As short as 7-2 for next Saturday’s Classic at York, the three-year-old’s owner believes there is a big doubt over the colt’s ability to stay the one-mile-six-furlong trip on the Knavesmire.
