Ground key to Rock Leger bid

David Wachman has underlined the importance of fast ground for Galileo Rock as he gears up for next month’s Ladbrokes St Leger.

The Galileo colt was last seen finishing second to Trading Leather in the Irish Derby at the Curragh back in June, with Wachman giving him a mid-season break in preparation for his Classic challenge at Doncaster on September 14.
