The Saturday Edition - Ep. 126

This week’s Saturday Edition looks ahead to Irish Derby weekend at the Curragh and first up is Saturday’s Group 1, the Pretty Polly Stakes for fillies and mares. We hear from trainer of two leading fancies, Bluestocking and Stay Alert in Ralph Beckett and Hughie Morrison while Philip von Ullman discusses intriguing runner Tasmania and why his family chose to move her from being trainer in France last season, to Sir Mark Prescott’s yard in Newmarket this year. Then onto the Derby and Roger Varian discusses his chances of landing a second classic of the season with Matsuri and David Menuisier hopes Sunway can put a disappointing season so far behind him. Finally, at Newcastle on Saturday is the historic Northumberland Plate and Brian Ellison shares why it would mean so much to him, should he win it with either of his runner tomorrow.
