Epsom Derby Third Westover Heads Betting For 2022 Irish Derby
The big horse race this week is the Irish Derby, from the Curragh racecourse, on Saturday 25th June. With a stonking pot of €570,000 first prize for the winning horse then we can expect some of the best 3 year-old colts to be heading to Ireland – including this season’s Epsom Derby third – Westover @ 11/8 with 888Sport.
This Ralph Beckett-trained 3 year-old 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.
Back WESTOVER for the Irish Derby @ 11/8 with 888Sport
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.
This year we can expect another strong hand from O’Brien as he goes in search of his 15th Irish Derby win. 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).
