Derby entry list hits the ton
Many of the leading fancies were confirmed yesterday, the likes of the Champion Stakes first two Fatboyz Nodrog and Shaneboy Lee as well as the highly regarded College Causeway. Others entered were English Derby winner Kinda Ready and the Finnish challenger Eijas Choice.
The participation of Eijas Choice is a remarkable story. The recent Finnish Championship winner is making his way from Finland this week by boat but it has been a far from ideal trip and the latest news is that the dog will arrive in Ireland tomorrow.
