Voyage Hoping For Redemption With King Edward VII Target

Voyage at Epsom | John Hoy/The Jockey Club

Julie Wood's Voyage (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}), who parted ways with Pat Dobbs at the start of the G1 Betfred Derby, will return in the G2 King Edward VII S. at Royal Ascot, according to trainer Richard Hannon. A winner at Newbury in April, the bay was making just his second start in the Blue Riband.

“Unfortunately, things didn't go to plan for Voyage in the Derby after he stumbled coming out of the stalls and unseated Dobbsy, who had no chance whatsoever,” Hannon said on his Unibet blog.

“I had plenty of texts after the race congratulating me on training the first past the post in the Derby, but unfortunately there's no prize-money for 'winning' without the jockey!

“It was a bitter disappointment for everyone, not least Julie Wood who has always wanted a Derby runner, but the horse is absolutely fine, and is definitely heading to Ascot for the King Edward VII S.”
