SportHorse racingThe DerbyNewsboy fancies a handicap sprinter to score a fourth win over six furlongs in the 6.22 at Epsom and he also rates a William Haggas-trained gelding in the 3.40 at Thirsk19:59, 30 Jun 2026AMAZING JOURNEY (6.22) can further embellish his credentials as a specialist six furlong horse at Epsom this evening.‌The Jamie Osborne-trained runner got off the mark for the year with a convincing victory over the trip on the all-weather at Kempton. That win took his score over 6f to three wins from five starts.‌The son of Starspangledbanner recorded victories at Chepstow and York last season but spent the rest of his two-year-old campaign running over 7f, without finding the frame.‌He was gelded at the end of the season and, after a solid third at Leicester first time out, scored by two and a half lengths from Front Line Fury.Amazing Journey has been raised 6lb for that effort but can show he is still on the upgrade as he takes on older horses for the first time in the Betfred 'Nifty 50' Handicap.‌In the afternoon at Thirsk, YORK TOWER (3.40) has a chance to open his career account in the 1m4f handicap.The William Haggas-trained gelding showed promise over 7f last year, finished third over 1m at Lingfield and fourth of nine in a 1m2f handicap at Epsom during the Derby meeting on soft ground, shaping as if he would handle another step up in distance.Newsboy’s Wednesday selections THIRSK 1.08 KODIAK BREEZE 1.38 ARAPAHO GOLD 2.08 LORD D’OR 2.40 MISTER BLUE SKY 3.10 SAUCY JANE 3.40 YORK TOWER (NB) 4.10 STRONG WARRIOR 4.40 FARANDAWAY‌WORCESTER 1.20 YES DAY 1.50 MAJESTIC MOMENT 2.20 GREER HILL 2.50 FAITHFUL GUARDIAN 3.25 PURPLE OWL 3.55 NEWPORT 4.25 BALLYLICKY BAY 4.55 ARTISTE D’AINAYEPSOM DOWNS 5.20 MREMBO 5.50 SHEMIYLA STAR 6.22 AMAZING JOURNEY (NAP) 6.57 SIR WILLIAM 7.32 SARANGPUR 8.07 JUST ADAIR 8.42 MISSION COMMANDBATH 5.58 ROSIEISMIE DARLING 6.33 ANGEL ANG 7.08 SISTERS IN THE SKY 7.43 LETSBEATSEPSIS 8.18 SWIPED 8.53 WE RIDE AT DAWNArticle continues belowDOUBLE: AMAZING JOURNEY and YORK TOWERChoose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌NewsboyJamie OsborneThe DerbyThirsk racecourseEpsom Downs RacecourseRacing tipsThe Inside Track - Horse Racing
