Andrew Balding to give Elm Park a Derby ‘sighter’

Andrew Balding is looking forward to seeing leading Derby hope Elm Park stretch his legs on the famous Epsom turf at the Breakfast With The Stars morning today.

Last season’s Racing Post Trophy hero is one of six horses heading for the Downs and will be joined by Derby favourite Golden Horn and his stable companion Jack Hobbs, the John Gosden-trained pair that finished ahead of Elm Park in the Dante at York earlier this month.

Balding is keen to give his stable star some experience of the notoriously tricky circuit before his Classic bid on June 6.
