Tajaaweed To Be Dropped In Distance

Tajaaweed who finished 8th in the Epsom Vodafone Derby looks set to be dropped in distance following his creditable effort this weekend. Tajaweed the Dee Stakes winner, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, fell behind after making a great effort earlier on then later burning out.

“We’ll certainly be dropping him in trip. We’re going to give him a bit of time, we are not going to be rushing him anywhere,” said Angus Gold, racing manager to owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum.

“I’m sure Sheikh Hamdan will want to give him a bit of time.”

Gold was happy with Tajaaweed’s performance and believes it was an above-average renewal of the Derby.
