The 2022 Irish Derby betting market was shaken up on Tuesday with the aptly-named – Tuesday – who we last saw winning the Epsom Oaks, entering the picture ahead of Saturday’s big horse race at the Curragh racecourse in Ireland.

Epsom Oaks Winner – Tuesday – Supplemented For 2022 Irish Derby
Yes, the Aidan O’Brien camp confirmed that they will be supplementing their recent Epsom Oaks heroine – Tuesday – for this Saturday’s 2022 Irish Derby, as O’Brien goes in search of an incredible 15th success in the Group One race.
Despite O’Brien – at this stage – still having several other entries in the race, that include Epsom Derby 6th Stone Age and recent Royal Ascot winner – Changingoftheguard, top jockey Ryan Moore has also been locked in as Tuesday’s pilot for the 25th June contest.
However, Aidan O’Brien has hinted that the Coral-Eclipse (2nd July) would be the preferred target for Stone Age, which is possibly one of the reasons he’s turned to his star filly – Tuesday – to try and win the Irish Derby.
With the Irish Derby mainly a race for colts, you don’t often see the fillies running here – they prefer to go for the Oaks. The last filly to win the Irish Derby was the Godolphin-owned – Balanchine – in 1994, so Tuesday will be looking to end a 28 year run.
O’Brien has gone on record as saying that he feels his filly has improved a lot since beating Emily Upjohn at Epsom and is ready to face the boys – see what he said below.
Aidan O’Brien told the Racing Post
“She seems to have come out of Epsom well, obviously we haven’t done too much since the Oaks, but anything she has done she has done well.”
“She just came out of the Oaks very well and she has kept progressing with every week that passes since the start of the year.
“I have said all along that she is only going to get better with time given her age but it is one thing saying it, it is another thing doing it on the track. She has done it. Physically every week she has just got stronger and everybody involved with her has been very happy.”

Westover Still Heads Irish Derby Betting
Despite the inclusion into the 2022 Irish Derby betting market, the Ralph Beckett-trained 3 year-old – WESTOVER – is holding firm with the bookmakers at the top of the market and remains the Irish Derby favourite.
He ran on well to land the bronze medal in the English Derby three weeks ago and many feel he’s ready to frank that form and go two places better this Saturday in the Irish version.
He’s so far had just five career runs and is yet to finish out of the first three, with two victories.
That recent run in the Epsom Derby was also Westover’s first try over the longer 1m4f trip, but stayed on really well to suggest it suited. Eagle-eyed racing fans would also have noted that Westover didn’t get the clearest of runs in the Derby, so could have even got closer.
Yes, the winner of the Derby – Desert Crown – would probaly have still won the race, but there is a strong case to say Westover would have finished second without that hampering.
The ‘good news’ for Westover supporters is that Desert Crown is NOT ENTERED in this Saturday’s Irish Derby – paving the way for the Beckett horse to add this Group One contest to his CV.

Irish Trainer Aidan O’Brien Has Won The Irish Derby 14 Times
Top Irish horse racing handler – Aidan O’Brien – has a superb record in the Irish Derby, having won the race a staggering 14 times. In fact, no other trainer has won the Irish Derby more times – with the first of those successes coming in 1997 with Desert King and the most recent in 2020 with Santiago.

Away from the already mentioned – Tuesday – he’s also got Anchorage, recent Ascot winner – Changingoftheguard, Epsom Derby 6th Stone Age and Temple Of Artemis in the race as we are left with 16 Irish Derby runners this latest declaration stage (Tuesday).
