DERBY DELIGHT: LAZY GRIFF STORMS TO A STUNNING SECOND AT EPSOM and THIRD AT THE IRISH DERBY
Training Update: 2nd in the most famous of all races - The Epsom Derby - with a follow up performance to finish a fantastic 3rd in the Irish Derby - after a less than ideal way around. TF Rating of 115 - Runner-up behind the winner in the Chester Vase, likewise found plenty of improvement, handling the track better than most and seeing the race out well, one of the most stoutly bred runners in the field and an obvious candidate for a tilt at the St Leger; tracked pace, shaken up entering straight, took second 2f out, stayed on final 1f.

Timeform comment on his 3rd in the Group I Irish Derby: "Deserves credit for getting placed in another Derby, actually finishing a shade closer to Lambourn than he had at Epsom, an eventuality that seemed highly unlikely for most of the way, further back than ideal having been unable to go the early pace and the race all but over by the time he finally hit top stride; raced off the pace, never going pace, pushed along end of back straight, still plenty to do entering straight, came wide, finished best, never nearer; all roads surely lead to the St Leger now."
This colt’s pedigree, photo and video, we’d hope, would be worth a thousand words, however we’ll attempt to add a little flavour here too...
He was our absolute standout, our nap of the sale, and lest we forget, German bred and trained horses have won 3 of the last 12 Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe’s, so it’s particularly clear, to us, that German stock is a pretty classy hunting ground.
