News
Aidan O'Brien has announced that longtime ante-post favourite Luxembourg is out of next month's Cazoo Derby after suffering a muscular injury. The Ballydoyle trainer revealed on Friday that last year’s Vertem Futurity winner, who had been as short as 7-4 for the Derby, had met with a setback and faced a race against time to be fit for the Epsom Classic on June 4. Subsequent tests have laid bare the extent of the injury suffered and the three-year-old Camelot colt, who finished third in the 2,000 Guineas on his seasonal comeback, now faces a spell away from the track before a planned return in the autumn.
Yorkshire Cup, Gold Cup at Royal Ascot and Goodwood Cup was always the plan for this year," joint-trainer John Gosden told the Punter about Stradivarius, who admits getting the eight-year-old ready to race is harder than it was. "He still enjoys his training, but he knows it all backwards now. Rather like an old prize fighter coming back into the ring, it's the getting fit and up for the fight – it's not as easy as it used to be when he was younger. So, I would expect him to be benefitting from the race tomorrow."
