Epsom Derby News: Wild card Nations Pride Charlie Appleby's "best chance" if supplemented
All eyes were on Nahanni and Walk Of Stars as Charlie Appleby's entries for the Cazoo Epsom Derby 2022 but Nations Pride has emerged as a wild card who could be supplemented for the English Classic.
It seemed Charlie Appleby was only going to eneter Nahanni and Walk Of Stars for the Cazoo Epsom Derby but Nations Pride has emerged as a wild card who could be supplemented for the English Classic on June 4.
Godolphin lead trainer Appleby sent Nahanni and Walk Of Stars out on a pre-Derby exercise run on the Epsom Downs on Monday but hinted that Teofilo colt Nations Pride could be his best hope if lining up.
Yet, Nations Pride's seven lengths win in the rather nondescript Best Odds On The Betfair Exchange Newmarket Stakes at HQ could prove to be the key piece of form when it comes to Godolphin runners in the 2022 Derby.
