Horse racing updates from Epsom Downs Racecourse
Jason Weaver on ITV Racing yesterday raised the prospect again of the Derby runners coming up the stands side. That will be such a temptation if there is more significant rain by the time the Derby gets underway and the clerk of the course Andrew Cooper says we can expect more precipitation in an hour or so. Derby historian Michael Church says it’s not happened since 1919 and no one remembers that. Willie Carson, who has won the Derby four times, thinks it might just happen! He told the Racing Post: “One hundred per cent they’ll come across. How can they not? The fastest ground is at the top of the track.”
