Derby 2019: Ante-post favourite Sir Dragonet and Dante hero Telecaster supplemented as 15 set to tackle the Epsom Classic
Each colt was added to the field at a cost of £85,000 following their wins in the Chester Vase and Dante
THE Derby received some added spice on Monday after Sir Dragonet and Telecaster were supplemented for an eye-watering £85,000 each.
Aidan O'Brien's Sir Dragonet was a runaway winner of the Chester Vase while the lightly-raced Telecaster lowered the colours of Too Darn Hot in the Dante.
Ballydoyle's representative was slashed in the betting for the Epsom showpiece after his jaw-dropping victory at Chester.
He is currently the 3-1 favourite with Unibet as his record-breaking trainer seeks an incredible seventh Derby win.
Telecaster, meanwhile, will bid to provide Hughie Morrison with his biggest success of his training career.
The rapidly progressive colt is 7-1 with Unibet, which is a standout across the industry.
Surfman is another British-trained runner out to break the O'Brien stranglehold, with Roger Varian's colt expected to improve for his never-nearer third in the Dante.
