Karezak poised to give Oxx pre-Epsom boost

Karezak should give John Oxx and Declan McDonogh a pre-Epsom boost by landing the Follow Tipperary Races Median Auction Maiden on tonight’s mixed card in Tipperary.

The 86-rated son of Azamour might not be in the same league as Currabeg’s Investec Derby contender Ebanoran, but he showed enough potential and stamina on his seasonal debut at Navan to suggest he should be capable of success at this level.

Karezak finished eight and a half lengths clear of the remainder (including subsequent Tramore winner Asknotwhat) when beaten a half-length by John Constable in a maiden over a mile and five furlongs.
