Connections' waiting game over Private Secretary

Connections are waiting to see how Private Secretary gets on at Goodwood before plotting his next move.

Private Secretary is set to feature in Goodwood’s British Stallion Studs EBF Cocked Hat Stakes on Friday before a decision will be made on whether to feature in the Epsom Derby or head to Royal Ascot.

With a big decision to be made after Goodwood, Richard Evans, of owners Denford Stud, is looking forward to seeing how Gosden’s charge fares on Friday.

‘Obviously the trainer must feel he has come on an awful lot since his last run and where he goes from there depends how well he does in the race,’ he said.

‘If he was to come out of the Cocked Hat Stakes and win that by a very good margin then you’d have to consider the Derby, but other than that it looks as if Epsom will come too soon for him really.

‘I think everything depends on how he copes with the race at Goodwood and where he finishes.’
