BOCKOS WITH A CLEAN SWEEP TO THE THIRD TURN
Ian Fortune
Bockos Diamond will forever be remembered as one of the most dominant Derby winners of all-time.
It was a term used to describe the series of performances from the likes of Susie Sapphire and Laughil Blake but Bockos Diamond brought things to a new level in 2024.
In each of the six rounds of the Derby, the son of Dorotas Wildcat set the pace to the third turn, setting the standard in every one of them. The full breakdown of his performance to the third turn can be seen in all its glory below. For those that keep an eye on the third bend sectionals on a regular basis, it makes for pretty remarkable reading.
A full breakdown of the each and every round of the Boylesports Derby can be found below:
