Juddmonte's Westover (GB) (Frankel {GB}), who won the G3 bet365 Classic Trial at Sandown on Apr. 22, will forego another start prior to an intended run in the G1 Cazoo Derby on June 4, according to Barry Mahon, Juddmonte's General Manager of Ireland and European racing. The colt will have a workout over the Epsom Downs however, during the Cazoo Derby Gallops Morning on May 23.
“He's a beautiful looking horse, by Frankel who is excelling at present and [trainer] Ralph [Beckett] is very happy with him,” said Mahon. “If he continues to be in good form over the next week or two, we'll take our chance in the Derby.
“Adayar (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) ran at Sandown and went on Lingfield but because he didn't win he didn't have a penalty, whereas if we'd done that we would have.
“Ralph is happy and all being well, he'll go to Epsom for the gallops morning, [what was] Breakfast With The Stars when he can have a look around the track and hopefully we'll be on our way to Epsom.”
