DERBY DELIGHT: LAZY GRIFF STORMS TO A STUNNING SECOND AT EPSOM

Training Update: 2nd in the most famous of all races - The Epsom Derby ! 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.

??? "To win a British Classic would be the ultimate dream"

The team behind Lazy Griff were still pinching themselves on Sunday after watching their 50-1 outsider finish runner-up in Saturday's Betfred Derby

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.
