Epsom Derby
Desert Myth Could Follow Kris Kin for Stoute Saeed Suhail and Sir Michael Stoute teamed up to win the Group One Investec Derby in 2003 with the lightly-raced Kris Kin and the owner and trainer could have another progressive colt with the potential to land the premier Classic at Epsom Downs on Saturday, June 5.
Desert Myth carried Suhail’s blue and yellow silks to a comfortable victory on his racecourse debut in a 10-furlong maiden at Newmarket on April 14. The Smart Strike colt could follow the Kris Kin route by attempting to win the 10-furlong Group Three Addleshaw Goddard Dee Stakes and finished up one of the favourites for the Investec Derby on the day. You just never know.” Stoute has won the Investec Derby on four occasions with Shergar (1981), Shahrastani (1986), Kris Kin (2003) and North Light (2004). There are Classic clues aplenty this week.
