Ryan Moore, Coolmore's number one jockey, will ride Giovanni Canaletto (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in Saturday's G1 Epsom Derby. The colt, one of three in the lineup for trainer Aidan O'Brien, is a full-brother to Ruler of the World (Ire), whom Moore rode to victory in the Derby in 2013.
Giovanni Canaletto finished third on debut last October and broke his maiden three weeks later. He was second in The Curragh's G3 Gallinule S. on seasonal debut May 24, and has been the subject of heavy recent market support; he is currently the 8-1 co-fourth choice.
Coolmore also revealed on Twitter that Joseph O'Brien will ride Listed Derby Trial S. winner Kilimanjaro (Ire) (High Chaparral {Ire}) in the Derby, while Seamie Heffernan will be aboard G3 Chester Vase winner Hans Holbein (GB)(Montjeu {Ire}).
In Friday's G1 Epsom Oaks, Moore will ride the David Wachman-trained, Michael Tabor-silkbearer Legattisimo (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}). O'Brien will be aboard G1 Fillies' Mile winner Together Forever (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}); Heffernan will ride Listed Chesire Oaks winner Diamondsandrubies (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}); and Colm O'Donoghue will be on G3 Park S. winner Qualify (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}).
