Flaxman Stables homebred Ulysses (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), 12th in the G1 Investec Derby after breaking his maiden impressively in May, could bid for redemption in the G2 Great Voltigeur S. at York Aug. 17.
“The horse is doing well,” said Flaxman Racing Manager Alan Cooper. “We've given him an entry in the Great Voltigeur and will give him plenty of time to get over the Derby. [Trainer] Sir Michael [Stoute] will decide nearer the time if that is the right race for him.”
Cooper was offering up no excuses for the son of Oaks winner Light Shift (Kingmambo)'s Derby effort. “He got a bump in the Derby but the Derby is the Derby, we're not going to make any excuses and we'll go forward from here,” he said. “We haven't discussed the [G1] St Leger; we'll just take it one race at a time. We need to get him back on track.”
