It would be Investec's dream and such a marketing opportunity for racing here and themselves. I am sure Sheikh Hamdan and his team would also be up to the challenge.
It's such a pity that between SA and the rest of the world we can't make it happen. There were no doubt as usual a lot of English race goers at Kenilworht today which would undoubtedly create interest in Ertijaal if he were to be carded for Epsom.
he wouldn't be allowed to run in the derby at Epsom as he is 6 mths older and would be seen as a 4yo in the northern hemisphere
