Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 13, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 13, 2018 Godolphin’s G1 Investec Derby winner Masar (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) will bypass the G1 Irish Derby on June 30 in favour of the G1 Coral-Eclipse S. a week later. “His Highness Sheikh Mohammed and I discussed Masar’s programme at length and have reached the conclusion that the Eclipse will suit him best,” said trainer Charlie Appleby. “We will leave him in the Irish Derby, just to keep all options open. But the intention is to run in the Eclipse.” Masar would be dropping back to 10 furlongs for the Eclipse, but returning to a track that he has won over, having taken the G3 Solario S. there last year. “Masar has won at Sandown, showing that he acts well on the track and dropping back in trip will be no problem–he won the Craven S. and finished third in the 2000 Guineas,” Appleby said. “He’s got plenty of speed.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
