Byline: Steve Dennis.
THERE was one more race in Sergeant Cecil that autumn, and it would be at Newmarket on Champions Day - but Rod Millman had a choice to make. Most observers would consider his dilemma no choice at all-where would the merit lie in contesting the Group 2 Jockey Club Cup instead of attempting to reconfigure the history books in the Cesarewitch? - but Millman's remit was to give Sergeant Cecil the best possible chance to win a race, and if he thought the Cup was the best spot then he would have been doing the right thing by running him in it.
