Today is the Day for the Epsom Derby!

Postby erins isle » Sat Jun 05, 2021 5:30 am

One of the most wonderful races, the ultimate test for the 3yo colts at Epsom Downs.

There is a favourite: Bolshoi Ballet, but the race is rather open, after a significant chance of the going: good to soft.
If you are able to watch: have fun! If you would have a bet, search for horses which can handle the ground and distance.

Actually I thought that Hurricane Lane had a better chance than the winner on paper. Both colts have a lot of stamina on the dam side.
