Investec - Derby CPT/Epsom

Imagine if Ertijaal could go straight from here to Epsom to challenge the UK Derby contenders without any restrictions and a direct trip over there..

It would be Investec's dream and such a marketing opportunity for racing here and themselves. I am sure Sheikh Hamdan and his team would also be up to the challenge.

It's such a pity that between SA and the rest of the world we can't make it happen. There were no doubt as usual a lot of English race goers at Kenilworht today which would undoubtedly create interest in Ertijaal if he were to be carded for Epsom.

he wouldn't be allowed to run in the derby at Epsom as he is 6 mths older and would be seen as a 4yo in the northern hemisphere

I was under the impression that he could run but will have to give weight away as is what happens when our 3 year olds run against the northern hemisphere 3 year olds in Dubai in their Derby and Guineas?
