Authorized Has Eclipse Aim

Authorized will be aimed at next month´s Coral-Eclipse Stakes after being purchased by Sheikh Mohammed´s Darley Stud operation.

The three-year-old was an impressive five-length winner of the Vodafone Derby last week and Darley have been quick to snap up the Montjeu colt for an undisclosed sum.

Trainer Peter Chapple-Hyam will now prepare Authorized for the 10-furlong feature at Sandown on July 7, a race which will see the colt step back in trip.

'Authorized has been bought by Darley as a future stallion,' read a statement on www.darley.co.uk.

'The horse has been leased back to the current owners Saleh Al Homaizi and Imad Al Sagar.

'He will continue to be trained by Peter Chapple-Hyam and managed for the owners by Mr Tony Nerses.'

'The intention is that the horse will target the Coral-Eclipse Stakes on July 7.'
