Empire takes the Shuttle in Derby

We returned home from Wimbledon last night with both Brittons Emprire and Express Shuttle safely through to round 2. The heat money for Brittons Empire proved spot on as he showed the best early to take over from fast up Brer Hare (faded) at the turn. Express Shuttle, runner up in the Ladbrokes Puppy Derby at Monmore before landing the Betfair Blue Riband at Hall Green, is still getting used to Wimbledon and whilst railing well will need to improve from traps if he wants to stay in the competition. The 28.57 win certainly made a couple of the large bookmakers cut his price.
