Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 3, 2021 Journalists Posted June 3, 2021 A dozen colts colts will race in Saturday's G1 Cazoo Derby at Epsom, with Thursday morning's declaration seeing the expected five Ballydoyle withdrawals along with the removal of Aquis Farm and Ballylinch Stud's May 21 Listed Cocked Hat S. winner Lone Eagle (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Alone in representing Aidan O'Brien is the G3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial S. winner Bolshoi Ballet (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who will break from the nine stall which housed High Chaparral (Ire) in 2002. Godolphin's May 13 G2 Dante S. winner Hurricane Lane (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) was drawn five, with his trainer Charlie Appleby also providing a late twist to the Derby drama by jocking off Oisin Murphy on the outsider Adayar (Ire) (Frankel {GB}). Adam Kirby, who was usurped by Frankie Dettori on Anamoine Limited's May 15 Listed Fairway S. winner John Leeper (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), will now partner the Apr. 23 G3 Sandown Classic Trial and May 8 Listed Lingfield Derby Trial runner-up Adayar who received the hoodoo draw in one. Jim Bolger's G1 Irish 2000 Guineas hero Mac Swiney (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) is in eight alongside Bolshoi Ballet, while John Leeper is in 12 which served as the stall for Australia (GB) and Serpentine (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in recent times. Shadwell's impressive Listed Newmarket S. winner Mohaafeth (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) is in four, while Roger Varian and Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum's Lingfield Derby Trial winner Third Realm (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) will have to overcome the two draw which incredibly has never produced a Derby winner since stalls were introduced.
