From just prior to the first race it became patently obvious that the noble, magnificent racehorses were a sideshow
The most recent Derby will be remembered for producing arguably the most controversial finish in the race’s long history
With no standout horse and the top nine runners rated within nine pounds of each other by the handicappers, this Derby over 2400m at Arlington looks to be a wide open affair.
It is eerie to think that there would have been no Siren’s Call, Sound Of Warning, or for that matter Call To Unite, had fate not decreed that Enchanted Cove follow her dam to South Africa, and that Peter de Beyer had the foresight to return Elusive Fort back home from the States as well!
There’s lots more to play for!
