This time in under a week, John Sargent could be a member of an exclusive club of trainers to have won an ATC Derby and ATC Oaks with Favreau timed to peak in Saturday’s Blue Riband.
Sargent’s Tavistock three-year-old spent Easter Sunday morning wading through the salt water at Brighton-Le-Sands, the day after his brave fourth in the Tulloch Stakes at Rosehill Gardens.
‘’He went to the beach and had an easy day,’’ Sargent said. “He can have an easy week because all the work has been done now for Saturday.’’
Sargent, the last trainer to beat Winx thanks to Gust of Winds’ 2015 ATC Oaks triumph, will have plenty of empty boxes at his High Street headquarters come Saturday afternoon with several of his autumn arsenal in action.
