New Approach Doubtful for Irish Derby?

New Approach (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the G1 Epsom Derby hero, may be a doubtful runner in Sunday's G1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at The Curragh, according to Attheraces. Trainer Jim Bolger was reportedly unhappy with the colt upon his return to his stall after training Friday morning and the chestnut may be suffering from a stone bruise, according to Attheraces. “I'm not sure about the extent of the problem, but we think it is a foot bruise,” trainer Jim Bolger told Racing Post. “We will have to wait and see. We will know more about the situation tomorrow, probably tomorrow evening.”
