News
John Gosden has ruled the Queen's Reach For The Moon out of next month's Cazoo Derby in a bitter blow to the monarch's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Speaking to the Punter, joint-trainer Gosden said he has run out of time to get the son of Sea The Stars back from injury for the Epsom Classic on June 4 for which he was generally 7-1 third favourite. Consequently, "he will not run in the Derby and will be pointed towards Royal Ascot."
Cazoo Derby hot favourite Luxembourg will head straight to Epsom and attempt to give Aidan O'Brien a record-extending ninth win in the Classic with the master trainer of the opinion that he did extremely well to take third in the Qipco 2,000 Guineas following an early stumble.
Donnacha O'Brien believes deeply exciting Classic hope Piz Badile has "all the right attributes" for next month's Cazoo Derby, and has revealed the Ballysax Stakes scorer will go straight to Epsom without another run. A tilt at Sunday's Derby Trial Stakes, better known as the Derrinstown, had been mooted in the aftermath of last month's gutsy Group 3 success under Gavin Ryan. However, the attractive Ulysees colt will instead bid to emulate 2016 Derby hero Harzand in going straight to Epsom after landing the Ballysax.
