Re: Horse Racing
Dawn stamina doubts for O'Brien.

Quote:
Joseph O'Brien believes it could be a "big ask" for Investec Derby favourite Dawn Approach to see out the mile-and-a-half trip at Epsom on June 1.
O'Brien, who won the Derby last year on Camelot and is set to ride Battle Of Marengo from his father Aidan's squad of possibles, spoke of his admiration for Jim Bolger's 2000 Guineas hero but questioned whether the Derby distance would suit.
Speaking on Channel 4 Racing, O'Brien said: "You can't fault him, he's tough and he tries. It's a big unknown stepping up to a mile and a half, he won over five last year and he won a Coventry.
"To get a mile and a half this year is a big ask."
