Trainer Aidan O’Brien is confident the colt can help him win the UK race for the ninth time

Probably just as well no spectators were allowed at last year’s Epsom Derby in the UK. The winner was 25-1 chance Serpentine and racegoers would not have been throwing their hats in the air.

Named after the Moscow ballet company, Bolshoi Ballet could provide O’Brien with a ninth Epsom Derby success and the 51-year-old was bullish about his prospects after the colt’s Leopardstown win. “We’ve always thought a lot of him — he’s uncomplicated, he relaxes and he quickens. He travelled to France last year in ground that we knew he wouldn’t like, but we wanted to travel him for experience,” he told reporters.

Another scribe wrote: “York is still to come and who knows what might come out of this week’s Dante.” Meanwhile, after the first declaration stage for the Vodacom Durban July, Gold Circle has revealed 43 horses remain in SA’s most famous race on July 3. The significant withdrawals were “horse of the year” Summer Pudding and Queen’s Plate winner Jet Dark.

No one seems to match him.... the day he left, I will no longer have interest in F1😏 I no longer refer anyone driving fast on public road as Schumacher, it is Hamilton as he has earned it.
