What had looked a match-up between Ballydoyle's TDN Rising Star Bolshoi Ballet (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Coolcullen's returning G1 Futurity Trophy hero Mac Swiney (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) in Sunday's G3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown proved anything but as the former produced a devastating performance which is up with the best of his stable's previous 13 winners. Leading the main group as Ryan Moore kept it simple, the even-money favourite who had taken the G3 Ballysax S. over this 10-furlong trip here Apr. 11 was sent past the Bolger pacemaker Wexford Soil (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) approaching three out and stretched out impressively to record a six-length verdict over stablemate Lough Derg (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), with Fernando Vichi (Ire) (Australia {GB}) half a length back in third and a neck in front of Mac Swiney. The winner was slashed to 2-1 for the June 5 G1 Epsom Derby.
