Feature: While Irish racing awaits a resumption date following a week of uncertainty over lockdown easing, two of the country’s exports did Ireland proud in Adelaide on Saturday when Russian Camelot (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), ridden by former jump jockey Johnny Allen, became the first horse bred in the Northern Hemisphere to win a Derby in Australia. Emma Berry catches up with some of the connections.
“I would definitely have been there if not for everything that’s going on at the moment. I’d have done the three days at Warrnambool to get myself match fit for a day in Adelaide at Morphettville. But thank goodness with technology now we’re not having people holding phones next to radios and giving commentaries, we can actually tune in and see everything." - Mark Edwards.

2). Feature: Sid Fernando highlights the success of the leading players behind Charlatan (USA) (Speightstown {USA}).
“Henry Field, he’s got so much energy and is really fun to be around. He loved Justify (USA) [when Field was with the buying group for Justify that included WinStar, China Horse Club and SF]. He was a big part of that. He’s a really sharp guy, too. He’s got a really keen eye for a horse. When we’re together, he’ll ask what I like or don’t like, and he’ll say, ‘I like this’, or ‘I like that,’ and you feed off each other." - Bob Baffert
