Trainer Chris Gibbs will assess Endowment when he gets to Sydney ahead of a potential tilt at the Gr.1 Australian Derby (2400m) after the Savabeel gelding failed to flatter in the Gr.1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) last week.
“I’ll fly over tomorrow morning and go and have a look at the two horses (Danzdanzdance and Endowment) and I’ll probably be there the week to see how Endowment works before we pay up for the Derby.”
Prior to his Sydney campaign, Endowment was runner-up to Demonetization in the Gr.2 Auckland Guineas (1600m) at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day before running eighth in the Gr.2 Avondale Guineas (2100m) and fifth to Vin De Dance in the Gr.1 New Zealand Derby (2400m).
