Australia’s Bangkok Takes the Classic Trial

The money spoke for Bangkok (Ire) (Australia {GB}) before Friday’s G3 bet365 Classic Trial at Sandown and it proved correct as the 10-11 favourite stamped his authority on the early Derby trial. Having beaten the impressive subsequent winner Telecaster (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) in a 10-furlong Doncaster maiden Mar. 30, King Power Racing’s bay was positioned with one behind early by Sylvester de Sousa. When the button was pressed, he picked up with an ease to take control approaching the furlong pole and assert for a 1 1/4-length success from Team Valor’s recent acquisition Technician (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}). Trainer Andrew Balding is happy to have a tilt at the Derby now. “We do think a lot of the horse, so I’m just relieved he’s won,” he said. “He’s got a good turn of foot and he’s going to stay further. He has matured mentally and is a very talented horse, so he deserves to run at Epsom and will probably go straight there.”
