he told the Racing Post.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThings didn\u2019t go to plan at Royal Ascot with Point Of Law but
\nhe\u2019s done little wrong in his career so far.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he would win when I kicked as he stays very well. He
\nwould have no problem with the St Leger trip.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trainer John Gosden also suggested the Classic is firmly under
\nconsideration.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s never easy coming here after Royal Ascot, but he\u2019s done
\nthat well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had to circle the whole field at Ascot, but had a better
\ntrip here. He could be a Leger horse but he likes summer ground, so
\nwe\u2019ll know more later on.\u201d<\/p>\n
The victory has revived hopes that the Royal Family could
\nfinally end a wait stretching back almost half a century.<\/p>\n
The late Queen Elizabeth II remains the last monarch to win the
\nSt Leger, triumphing with Dunfermline in 1977 during her Silver
\nJubilee year.<\/p>\n
King Charles came close to ending that drought in 2023 when
\nDesert Hero, inherited from his late mother, finished a gallant
\nthird after arriving at Doncaster on the back of victories at Royal
\nAscot and Glorious Goodwood.<\/p>\n
Although Desert Hero failed to overhaul the front two, his
\nplacing gave the King and Queen encouragement that another Classic
\nsuccess was within reach.<\/p>\n
Point Of Law now appears to offer Their Majesties another
\ngenuine opportunity.<\/p>\n
The colt also received an immediate form boost after Hatteen,
\nwho finished behind him in a maiden at Newbury earlier this season,
\nwent on to win the St Leger Trial at Doncaster less than an hour
\nafter the Bahrain Trophy.<\/p>\n
Should Point Of Law line up at Doncaster in September, he will
\nbid to become the first horse carrying the Royal colours to win the
\nSt Leger since Dunfermline etched her name into racing history 48
\nyears ago.<\/p>\n
