Snow Sky out of the Derby Snow Sky will not run in Saturday's Investec Derby at Epsom after failing to adequately recover from a minor setback. The Sir Michael Stoute-trained colt emerged as a leading light for the Classic when winning the Lingfield Derby Trial but it emerged on Wednesday morning that he had banged a joint. Stoute and Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manger for owner Khalid Abdullah, had been hopeful of Snow Sky recovering in time to run but have now confirmed he will miss the race and head to Royal Ascot instead. A statement from Grimthorpe read: "Sir Michael Stoute reported that the colt was not quite 100% this morning so will not be declared for the Investec Derby. He could now go to the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot."
