Unbridled bits

Derby hope well

New Zealand-owned English Derby prospect Eminent is ticking all the boxes ahead of his classic test on June 3. The Sir Peter Vela-raced son of Frankel enjoyed a spin around Epsom on Tuesday during the Breakfast with the Stars session and the colt thrilled his trainer Martyn Meade. “He hasn’t been away from Newmarket his entire life so it’s been a new experience,” he said. “He came here and stayed overnight and we wanted to see how he handled everything. He did exactly what we wanted him to do.” Rider Jim Crowley was also more than satisfied with Eminent. “I was really happy with him,” he said. “He came down the hill well and changed legs nicely.”
