OUT OF BOUNDS HOME



The lightly-raced colt Out Of Bounds, twice a winner on a fast dirt surface in the States, showed his versatility by making his turf debut a winning one, despite rain-softened conditions. In the Godolphin first colours, the four-year-old son of Discreet Cat held Gatewood by half a length in the Park Hill Hospital Conditions Stakes. The other Godolphin runner Ocean War finished third of four.

Ladbrokes St Leger 2012Out Of Bounds, a tall, imposing individual, had not raced since his third in a handicap at Meydan in early March. "We took our time with him since Dubai," said trainer Saeed Bin Suroor. "He's a big horse and has needed the time to develop. He has improved physically during his break and he needed this race and will be better for it. He handled the soft ground well enough, though faster would probably be better. He handles the dirt and the artificial surface at Meydan too.

"There are no particular plans for him. We'll look for a better race for him now and probably stick to a mile, which seems fine for him. He's a nice horse."

Rider Silvestre de Sousa was pleased with Out Of Bounds' attitude. "He did not really enjoy the ground," he said, "but he kept his head in front. It will give him confidence for the next time, and he should improve."

Bin Suroor had encouraging news of his Ladbrokes St Leger candidate Secret Number. "He worked very well in the morning and he is ready to go," he said. "He is a horse I have always liked and he has improved from race to race. If the ground is good to soft it will be fine."
