Pivotal Trigger will try to become first Irish winner of ‘Deutsches Derby’ in Hamburg on Sunday
Harrington’s runner takes on 19 opponents in the historic contest first won by an overseas runner in 2010 when Godolphin’s Buzzword – also a son of Pivotal – emerged on top.
Harrington has spent much of this year fighting breast cancer but emerged from treatment with her racing ambitions enhanced if anything. Should Sprewell join them in the 158th renewal of the €1.25 million Derby the significance of the occasion won’t be lost on anyone. General 2-5 odds about Auguste Rodin becoming the 19th horse to complete the Epsom-Curragh Derby double underline the scale of Sprewell & Co’s task.Ryan Moore’s presence on last year’s ‘Alary’ winner Above The Curve is significant given how Joseph O’Brien’s runner impressed in a Group Two in France last time.
