Derby Confirmed For Dawn Approach

Godolphin's Dawn Approach (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) will run in the G1 Epsom Derby, it was announced today. Following his impressive success in Saturday's G1 2,000 Guineas, the unbeaten colt will have his stamina tested in the June 1 Classic. Trainer Jim Bolger said, “Dawn Approach has come out of the 2000 Guineas in excellent shape and I couldn't be more pleased with him. I am now looking forward to running him in the Investec Derby at Epsom.” Godolphin's Racing Manager Simon Crisford added, “It has been agreed that Dawn Approach should run in the Investec Derby on June 1. His temperament and demeanour are excellent and he relaxes in his races which means he has a better chance of seeing out the mile and a half.”
