OH NO .... ANDREW SCUTTS reports "ROYAL DERBY DRAMA. FINGERS CROSSED."
"Racing world waits with bated breath as setback threatens Epsom participation of Queen's CARLTON HOUSE.
"Yesterday after the Queen's Investic Derby favourite CARLTON HOUSE suffered a setback that could rule him out of the big race. Her Majesty along with thousands of racing fans and punters, will be praying for the Sir Michael Stoute-trained colt to recover from a swollen near fore leg, news of which resulted in his price drifting from a morning low of 5-4 with Ladbrokes out to 2-1 with Boylesports last night.
"The colt is sound but it will be a day-by-day thing," said John Warren, the Queen's racing and bloodstock advisor, yesterday.
"CARLTON HOUSE was found to have a small amount of filling in his near-fore joint at evening stables last night, following a routine canter yesterday. As a result, precautionary
x-rays were taken this morning, which revealed no abnormalities. We remain extremely hopeful he is on target for the Derby.
"CARLTON HOUSE was gifted to the Queen by his breeder Sheikh Mohammed, has been favourite for the Derby since his impressive return at York last month, when he beat SEVILLE by a length and a half under RYAN MOORE in the Dante Stakes."
ANDREW SCUTTS reports "DETTORI SWEET on Classic follow-up for BLUE BUNTING in Oaks, saying she deserves to be favourite."

JOHN GOSDEN (born on 30 March 1951 in Sussex, England) is a racehorse trainer. Having trained over 2,000 winners since his return to England in 1989, including winners of the Breeders' Cup Classic and the Derby, he is generally considered one of the most successful racehorse trainers of his generation.
GOSDEN is the son of racehorse trainer John "Towser" Gosden, who died in 1967. He studied economics at Cambridge University. He currently lives in Newmarket, England, and is married to Rachel Hood, a lawyer. He has four children: Sebastian, Serena, Thea and Thady.
Derby, the Paddock (1892)
The Derby Stakes, known as The Investec Derby or The Derby and internationally as the Epsom Derby, is a Group 1 flat horse race in Great Britain which is open to three-year-old Thoroughbred colts and fillies. It is run at Epsom Downs over a distance of 1 mile, 4 furlongs and 10 yards (2,423 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in early June. It is Britain's richest horse race, and the most prestigious of the country's five Classics. It is sometimes referred to as the Blue Riband of the turf.
The Epsom Derby is one of the most prestigious and iconic events of the sporting and social calendars. The Ladies day is known for being a highly fashionable event, where ladies compete to win the coveted Style on the Downs competition. Elaborate headwear and colourful dresses are the norm.[1][2]

Who was, Roderic O'Connor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Roderic O'Connor" redirects here. For the 11th century king of Connacht, see Ruaidrí na Saide Buide. For the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, see Roderic L. O'Connor.
La Jeune Bretonne (1895), National Gallery, Dublin
Born in Milltown, Castleplunket, Co. Roscommon, Ireland,[1] O'Conor studied at Ampleforth College, then at Dublin and Antwerp before moving to Paris where he was deeply influenced by the Impressionists.
O'Conor attended the Metropolitan School and Royal Hibernian Academy early in his career.[2] Like his classmate, Richard Moynan, O'Conor would travel to Antwerp then Paris to gain further experience.[3] In 1892 he went to Pont-Aven in Brittany where he worked closely with a group of artists around the Post-Impressionist Paul Gauguin, whom he befriended.[1] His method of painting with textured strokes of contrasting colours also owed much to Van Gogh. His nephew, Patrick O'Connor (1909-97), was also a painter as well as a sculptor.
In March 2011 a work by O'Conor sold for £337,250 (€383,993). Landscape, Cassis, an oil-on-canvas, was painted by O'Conor in the south of France in 1913 and sold at Sotheby's for significantly higher than the estimate price.[4]

POUR MOI before facing a crucial canter this morning.
"The chances of the Queen's horse lining up at Epsom appeared yesterday to rest on how the the Sir Michael Stoute-trained colt comes through a key canter on Newmaret Heath this morning.
"For the second day running, CARLTON HOUSE was yesterday confined to walking and trotting in the covered ride at Stoute's Freemason Lodge, a regime that began after he knocked a near- fore joint in a routine canter on Monday.
"Following his light exercise, CARLTON HOUSE put in a brief public appearance, emerging from Freemason Lodge to return to his box at Stoute's second yard Beech Hurst, at around 10am. "
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST S EXIST WHEN USING THE PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.

This photograph shows the conflict of interests that can and so often do threaten, and sometimes distroy the lives of horses and their minders when using the public highways.

Sir Michael Ronald Stoute (born 22 October 1945 in Barbados) is a Barbadian British thoroughbred horse trainer in flat racing. Stoute, whose father was the Chief of police for Barbados, left the island in 1964 at the age of 19 to become an assistant to trainer Pat Rohan and began training horses on his own in 1972. His first win as a trainer came on 28 April 1972 when Sandal, a horse owned by Stoute’s father, won at Newmarket Racecourse in Suffolk, England.[1] Since then, he has gone on to win races all over the globe, including victories in the Dubai World Cup, the Breeders Cup, the Japan Cup and the Hong Kong Vase.[2]
