Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 27, 2019 Journalists Share Posted June 27, 2019 Eight horses have been declared for Saturday’s G1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at The Curragh. Five of those will represent Ballydoyle and as expected G1 Investec Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) leads the charge. He will be partnered by Ryan Moore with Donnacha O’Brien jocked up on stable-mate Broome (Ire) (Australia {GB}) who bids to emulate his sire who won the race in 2014. The Ballydoyle squad is completed by Sovereign (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Norway (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Il Paradiso (Galileo {Ire}). Kevin Prendergast’s Madhmoon (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}) looks the chief threat to deny Aidan O’Brien a 13th win in the race while Jim Crowley will have his first ride for Dermot Weld when he teams up with Sheikh Hamdan’s Rakan (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}). Jim Bolger, who won the race with Trading Leather (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) in 2013 and with St Jovite (Pleasant Colony) in 1992 will be represented by his home-bred Guaranteed (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}).
