The Derby Trial Stakes, which takes places this Sunday, May 7th at Leopardstown, is a race known for producing many greats.

The role of honour for previous winners of the Group 3 Derby Trial includes household names and subsequent top-level Group 1 performers who have made their mark on some of the biggest sporting races in the world.

Sinndar, Galileo, High Chaparral and Dylan Thomas are just some of the horses who have used this race as a steppingstone to English Derby success.
