The Saturday Edition - Ep. 40

In this episode of the Saturday Edition, Charlotte Greenway looks ahead to UK's most famous flat race, the Epsom Derby. Bruce Raymond is racing manager to Saeed Suhail, who owns the favourite, Desert Crown, and he makes comparisons between this horse and the 2003 winner of this race Kris Kin. Peter Branch, who bred and co-owns, the second favourite and Aidan O'Brien's first string, Stone Age, explains what it means to have a runner in the English Derby, having won so many big races around the world, including the Kentucky Derby. Then, with recordings from the Cazoo Derby Gallops morning, Charlie Appleby and Ralph Beckett discuss their contenders while Charlie Fellowes hopes his outsider, Grand Alliance, outrun his odds for his locally born owner.
