William Buick William Buick has confirmed that he will partner Romsdal in the Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster Racecourse on Saturday. He told his At The Races blog: Ill always have a soft spot for the Ladbrokes St Leger because it was the race in which I rode my first British Group One - and Classic - with Arctic Cosmos back in 2010. I won it again in 2011 with Masked Marvel and after shuffling the cards for 2014, Ive decided that if Im going to get a third on Saturday then its going to be with Romsdal. On the face of it the decision might have looked easy with Forever Now rated 106 and Romsdal 9lb higher, but the fact is that Ive only ridden Romsdal once in his five starts this season whereas Ive been with Forever Now on all five outings, winning twice. Hes got plenty of courage and stays very well, but in the end I just gave the nod to Romsdal on having the better overall level of form and that when I did ride him we were only beaten a nose by Orchestra in the Chester Vase over 12 (furlongs), staying on strongly. Ive made my decision - I think its the right one so heres hoping. #leger
