Sydney the Story for Derby runner-up

New Zealand Derby runner-up What’s The Story is likely to have his next run in the Gr.1 BMW Australian Derby on April 2.

“He’s a naturally fit horse and he’s come through the run well,” said Albert Bosma who manages the Go Racing Tall Story Syndicate. “He looks better now than he did before the race.”

Connections of the Stephen McKee and Eddie Chippendale-trained son of Savabeel will be keeping a keen eye on Sydney’s weather in the interim.
“The Derby is the target, track conditions pending – it would need to be a good to dead track for him to run.”
