Cashel Palace Hotel To Sponsor Group 3 Derby Trial At Leopardstown

The Cashel Palace Hotel has stepped in to sponsor the G3 Derby Trial S. at Leopardstown on Sunday, May 12.

The three-year-old contest, which is run over 10f, has served as an important stepping stone for many Classic aspirants down through the years but had been run without a sponsor after Derrinstown Stud ended its long association with the race in 2021.

Leopardstown chief Tim Husbands commented, “We are delighted to welcome Cashel Palace Hotel as the sponsor of the Derby Trial Stakes. Their support and partnership will add a new dimension to this event and further enhance the experience for participants and spectators alike. We would also like to congratulate them for their recently received Michelin Star.”

The Derby Trial S. was won last year by the Jessica Harrington-trained Sprewell (Ire). Prior to that, horses like Sinndar (Ire), Galileo (Ire), High Chaparral (Ire), Yeats (Ire), Dylan Thomas (Ire) and Fame And Glory (GB) have landed the race.

15.05 Compiegne, Mdn, €27,000, 3yo, f, 7fT
MONTEMESOLA (FR) (Kingman {GB}) is the latest foal out of Taranto (GB) (Machiavellian) to debut for Godolphin and Andre Fabre, who enjoyed some big days with her son Territories (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}). Successful in the G1 Prix Jean Prat and second in the 2000 Guineas, the relative of Machiavellian's Street Cry (Ire) and the brilliant Shamardal has proven a useful stallion at Dalham Hall.
