Newbury preview: Tasman Bay carrying Derby dreams for Sir Mark Todd
Thu 15 Apr 2021
Todd is a unanimously revered figure in the eventing world, having represented New Zealand at seven Olympic games and brought home two gold medals alongside multiple successes in world championships and top-flight horse trials at Badminton and Burghley.
Upon retirement, Todd undertook a brief spell training in his native country before returning to ride in the 2008 Beijing Games. He retired in earnest in 2019 and took up training on English soil at his yard near Lambourn.
The trainer has enjoyed six victories already this year from only 29 runners, the most eyecatching of which was the Le Havre colt Tasman Bay.
