Diego Velazquez favourite to secure Grade One honours for Ballydoyle in $600,000 Saratoga Derby
Joseph O'Brien is hoping to become the first Irish trainer to land the German Oaks with the filly Je Zous. Photograph: Laszlo Geczo/InphoO’Brien runs the filly Je Zous in the Preis der Diana, the German Oaks, in Dusseldorf, a mile and a half Classic that has never been won by an Irish-trained horse.
Her opposition includes a pair of British-trained rivals in Mark Prescott’s Lingua Franca and Karl Burke’s Darnation, who earlier this season landed the German 1,000 Guineas at the track.Jamie Spencer will ride the French hope Bubble Gum, sixth to Sparkling Plenty in last month’s Prix De Diane at Chantilly. The race is off at 2.45 Irish-time.
That race is now the target for his father, Aidan, on Saturday night where Diego Velazquez lines up for the $600,000 contest under Ryan Moore. The Frankel colt’s biggest threat could come on his inside from Charlie Appleby’s Legend Of Time. The race is off at 8.21 Irish-time. She is one of 16 lining up at 3.07 for a race that was last won by an Irish horse 23 years ago. Spencer did the steering on the Ballydoyle runner King Charlemange on that occasion.
