British syndicate group considering once-in-a-lifetime shot at the £2.4m Kentucky Derby

Britain’s leading racehorse syndicate ownership company Middleham Park Racing is considering taking up a once-in-a-lifetime shot at having a runner in next month’s £2.4 million Kentucky Derby.

The unexpected opportunity has arisen after three-year-old Brave Emperor accrued the most points in the European leg of the Road To The Kentucky Derby, after finishing second in the final race of the series, the Cardinal Stakes, at Chelmsford on Saturday.

By collecting 32 points, helped by a victory in another qualifier at Kempton last month, the Archie Watson-trained horse is now guaranteed a start in the historic race at Churchill Downs on Saturday, May 6.
