Does anyone know where I can find which horses were added to the Derby at the 1st supplementary stage on April 5th? As opposed to original entries.
http://www.thoroughbrednews.com.au/International/default.aspx?id=87303 second entries were revealed on Thursday for the £1.325-million Investec Derby at Epsom Downs on Saturday, June 4. Connections of each colt have paid £8,000 to be added to Britain's premier Classic, the Group One Investec Derby, which now has 141 entries going forward. Britain's richest and greatest Flat race, run over a mile and a half, has attracted a potential Royal runner at this stage. Carntop, owned and bred by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, is trained in Hampshire by Ralph Beckett. The three-year-old is a son of Dansili and has had two races, finishing third on debut in a Doncaster maiden over a mile on September 10 before impressing when taking a similar contest at Newmarket on October 3. Her Majesty The Queen, a great supporter of the Derby and Epsom Downs Racecourse, has had 10 runners in the Investec Derby, doing best with Aureole (second in 1953) and Carlton House (third in 2011). Blue De Vega, trained in Ireland by Michael O'Callaghan, has raced exclusively over seven furlongs, winning on two of his three starts during 2015. He ended last season with an impressive three and a half-length victory in the Group Three Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown in October. The son of Lope De Vega recorded an easy success in maiden company at Naas the previous month, after which he was purchased by Qatar Racing and partners. O'Callaghan, who trains on the Curragh, said: "Blue De Vega's first target is the 2000 Guineas (mile Classic at Newmarket on April 30). "He has done very well over the winter and I am very happy with how he is progressing through the spring. "We have entered him for the Investec Derby because we think a bit of him. We will get Newmarket out of the way first and then take it from there. "He has got a phenomenal amount of natural pace and that just makes you wonder whether he would get the Derby trip, but when you look at his pedigree, especially the dam side, he is very stoutly bred. There is a Germany Derby winner (Borgia) in there and also an Italian St Leger winner, while his sire won over a mile and a quarter. "I think genuine good ground will be ideal for him. He only ran with cut in the ground last year because that is what was there on the day. I don't think he has much of a preference." Blue De Vega is a 33/1 chance for the Investec Derby with Coral, official betting partner of the Investec Derby Festival. Other high-profile second entries include Group Two Vintage Stakes scorer Galileo Gold (Hugo Palmer, 33/1), who was last seen out finishing third to Godolphin's Ultra in the Group One Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp in October. Godolphin is responsible for two exciting colts in the Saeed bin Suroor-trained pair of Brave Hero (25/1) and Prize Money (25/1), who posted wide-margin victories in maidens at Lingfield Park and Newmarket respectively on their only outings last year. His Highness The Aga Khan, seeking a fifth Investec Derby victory as an owner, has added Vedevani (Alain de Royer-Dupre FR, 33/1) who was runner-up in a mile Group Three contest at Longchamp last time out and is due to run in the Prix Djebel at Maisons-Laffitte today. Completing the second entries are maiden scorers Harrison (Mick Channon) and Mustajeer (Owen Burrows), plus Group Two Juddmonte Beresford Stakes fourth Stellar Mass (Jim Bolger IRE). There are two remaining opportunities for horses to be added to the Investec Derby, including winning the £50,000 Investec Derby Trial on Wednesday, April 20, the first fixture at Epsom Downs in 2016. The 10-furlong conditions race has an amended penalty structure this year, with no cumulative penalties. Winners of a Class Two race will carry 3lb extra, while those successful in a Class One race will be allotted a 6lb penalty. Horses can also be supplemented for the Investec Derby at a cost of £75,000 on Monday, May 30, the five-day confirmation stage. David Stevens of Coral said: "Further spice has been added to this year's Investec Derby with some interesting additional entries, including the unexposed Godolphin duo of Brave Hero and Prize Money, both installed at 25/1 in our betting, but the betting market is dominated by the Aidan O'Brien-trained US Army Ranger. "The son of Galileo is 5/1 favourite following his Curragh victory last weekend, having been 25/1 prior to that racecourse debut." The two-day 2016 Investec Derby Festival commences on Friday, June 3, Investec Ladies' Day, when the fillies' Classic, the Investec Oaks, takes centre stage.
I’d be more interested in the final sup stage! Hump Bogart, if tickety-boo at that time, will be put in the race. Can’t believe 33’s is still available re him. He’ll have no problems whatsoever with either the distance or the course. Something that won’t be the case with a good 75% of participants. Firmly believe Hump is being severely underestimated by those bookie chappies. It’ll take a tough one to outbattle him let me tell ya, troops.
