Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 26, 2020 Journalists Share Posted June 26, 2020 ‘TDN Rising Star’ Highest Ground (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) was eye-catching while keeping his unbeaten record intact when winning a Haydock novice race on Wednesday, generating Derby whispers, but the Niarchos Family’s homebred will bypass the July 4 G1 Investec Derby. The Sir Michael Stoute-trained son of Celestial Lagoon (Jpn) (Sunday Silence) is likely to target the G2 Dante S. at York on July 9 next. “The Derby comes too soon in his career,” said Racing Manager Alan Cooper. “He’s a nice horse in the making. He only ran two days ago and Sir Michael will take his time and we’ll probably have a look at the Dante. It’s a very different year for everything, including the race programme. He’s come out of his race well so far and we’ll just feel our way and go from there.” The post Highest Ground To Bypass Derby appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
