Kameko trainer Andrew Balding has his eyes on the Derby Prize

With much doom and gloom around and a world on pause, it’s such a relief to have horse racing back on our screens. This Saturday brings us one of the highlights of the racing calendar, the Investec Derby. The highly competitive and prestigious contest has serious prize money on offer and attracts the cream of the crop of three year olds.

Trainer Andrew Balding will be hoping that he comes out on top of the day with current second favourite Kameko, who received a boost after his recent convincing 2000 Guineas win in June. The trainer definitely has his eyes on the Derby prize.

“He talks about it more than anything else. Ever since I’ve known Andrew that’s been what he’s wanted more than anything. We’re all dreaming really. Imagine if.” said his wife Anna to Betway.

The race also features the likes of current favourite English King, as well as Russian Emperor and the Aidan O’Brien trained Mogul. In the Youtube Feature Balding talks about the possibility of winning the Derby and what it would mean to him to follow in his Father’s footsteps. Ian Balding, now 81, memorably won the 1971 Derby with Mill Reef. Can history repeat itself? Tune into ITV1 at 4.55pm on Saturday 4th July to find out.
