Ol' Man River a Royal Lodge runner?
Last Updated: 22/09/14 10:31am
Leading Investec Derby contender Ol' Man River could run in the Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday.
Beautifully bred as a son of Montjeu out of the top-class racemare Finsceal Beo, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt cost €2,850,000 at Goffs and made the perfect start to his career when impressing in a maiden at the Curragh last month.
He also holds an entry in the Somerville Tattersall Stakes at HQ on Thursday.
O'Brien said: "Ol' Man River is a possible for the Royal Lodge - we'll know more tomorrow."
Ol' Man River, who travelled well and kept on strongly to beat Aared by three-parts of a length on that first run, is a 16/1 chance with Sky Bet for the Epsom Classic.
