Willie Carson, Britain’s champion jockey five times in the 1970s and 80s, led tributes to Lester Piggott after his death in Switzerland was announced on Sunday, describing him as “a person who made us all better, because we had to be better to beat him. We had to up our game to compete with him, because he was so magical on top of a horse.”
Bay Bridge looked a star in the making with a brilliant performance in the Coral Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown Park.
Connections of Desert Crown expressed their satisfaction after the Cazoo Derby favourite enjoyed an early-morning workout on the Watered Gallop in Newmarket on Thursday.
Diomed was the first winner of the Blue Riband Epsom Classic back in 1780, since when most of the greatest horses in history have added their name to the roll of honour. Lester Piggott remains synonymous with the race, having won a record nine Derbies between 1954 and 1983.
Owners of Sir Michael Stoute's Cazoo Epsom Derby favourite Desert Crown say he has every right to lead the market for the Classic on June 4.
Thirty-six years after his first success in the Dante Stakes with Shahrastani, Sir Michael Stoute was back on track in more ways than one at York on Thursday as Desert Crown, a big gamble for the Derby in recent weeks, quickened clear of seven opponents in Britain’s last major trial and took over as the new favourite for the Classic on 4 June.
Meanwhile, Barry Mahon, representing owner-breeders Juddmonte, is hoping the Nottingham victory is the start of a renaissance.
One horse from the Aidan O’Brien stable replaced another on Sunday at the top of the market for the Derby next month, as Stone Age was cut to 3-1 favourite for the Classic following an easy win in Leopardstown’s Derby Trial just half an hour after the trainer had ruled out Luxembourg, third in last month’s 2,000 Guineas, due to a muscular problem.
