Salford Mill turns in lackluster work for Derby
A J Thompson's SALFORD MILL (Peintre Celebre) failed to
impress
connections in a racecourse gallop at Newmarket on Friday and will undergo tests
ahead of the June 2 Epsom Derby (Eng-G1). Trainer David Elsworth expressed himself
"disappointed"
with the gallop of the Newmarket S. winner, who sidestepped Thursday's Dante S.
(Eng-G2)
at York.
"I was disappointed with the way Salford Mill worked, which was not
consistent with
the sparkle he usually shows us in the mornings," Elsworth told the Racing Post.
"We are
scratching our heads a little, but Tony said he was a little quiet before the
gallop and he may
have not been himself.
"We will run all the usual tests, but he seemed brighter
when he was
having a pick of grass back at the yard and I don't believe there is much in
it," he added.
