Joseph O'Brien will give his horse Galileo Chrome time to recover after his victory in the final British Classic of the season on Saturday and then go and name a new target.
The son of Derby winner Australia has now won four of his five outings with the St Leger being his first Group One win and he showed that staying distances are his forte.
Another bit of history was made in the race when Galileo Chrome crossed the line first, making his trainer the first person to win the race as a handler and a jockey.

O’Brien’s charge has now returned to County Kilkenny and his handler will wait and see how the horse is before naming his next challenge.
The trainer said: “He’s home safe and sound. We were delighted with his performance and it was a special day.
“We’ll discuss things with his owners. We have a few different options for him and there’ll be no decision on where we go just yet.
“He’s entered in plenty of races and we can put him in any races he’s not in.
“At this stage we’ll just wait and see how he comes out of the race, speak with the owners and take it from there.”
