- John and Thady Gosden’s colt 14-1 for next year’s Derby
- Colt second behind Point Lonsdale in ante-post betting
The prospect of a fancied runner for the Queen in next year’s Derby amid the celebrations for her Platinum Jubilee moved one small step closer at Sandown Park on Saturday as Reach For The Moon, a product of the Queen’s breeding operation, ran away with the Group Three Solario Stakes to earn quotes of around 14-1 for the Epsom Classic next June.
The only colt in front of John and Thady Gosden’s colt in the ante-post Derby betting is Aidan O’Brien’s Point Lonsdale, who finished half a length in front of Reach For The Moon in the seven-furlong Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot in June.
