The Derby at Epsom
Aidan O’Brien has six horses in this year’s Derby and his number one jockey Johnny Murtagh has decided to ride Guineas’ fourth Rip Van Winkle (4/1 Ladbrokes ). Has he made the right choice?
Ballydoyle also have their unbeaten Fame And Glory (4/1 Ladbrokes), who won the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown in impressive style last month. Champion Jockey Ryan Moore will partner Black Bear Island (8/1 Ladbrokes). The winner of this year’s Dante Stakes has stamina on his side and could be the value pick of the six.
Sea The Stars is the 11/4 favourite for the race, having won the 2000 Guineas’ last month. Can the John Oxx entry repeat that form and earn his trainer his first Derby win since Sinndar in 2000? Question marks have been raised about the horse’s stamina over 1m4f - will it last the distance?
