Travelling the key to Darsi bid

The Aga Khan-owned colt, a classy winner of the Prix du Jockey Club (French Derby) over 10 and a half furlongs last time out, has never flown before but will touch down in Dublin today ahead of Sunday’s big race at the Curragh.

While happy with Darsi’s current well-being, De Royer-Dupre is keeping his fingers crossed the mount of Christophe Soumillon, supplemented for the race to the tune of €100,000, will still be in top shape on the eve of the mile-and-a-half contest.
