Postulation bids for Belmont Derby delight

Dermot Weld’s Postulation faces eight rivals in the Belmont Derby over a mile and a quarter at the New York track tomorrow.

The Harlan’s Holiday gelding has had five races already this season and put up his best performance to date when defying veteran Parish Hall by a neck in the Listed TRI Equestrian Stakes a month ago.

There is a second European runner in French challenger Canndal, trained by Mikel Delzangles.
