Big day looms for Lees

TRAINER Kris Lees has a realistic opportunity of claiming the rare Derby-Doncaster double on Day One of The Championships at Royal Randwick on Saturday.

Furore, the surprise carnival contender, is one of the leading chances in the Group 1 $2 million Harrolds ATC Australian Derby (2400m) while proven big-race performer Prized Icon and possibly stablemate Invincible Gem will line up in the Group 1 $3 million Doncaster Mile (1600m).
