French Derby for First Cornerstone Trainer Andrew Oliver has decided to wait for a day and head for the French Derby at Chantilly, rather than Saturday's Investec Derby, with First Cornerstone. The colt did not make his seasonal reappearance until last weekend, where he ran with promise to finish fifth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. Barry Irwin, head of owners Team Valor, said: "The trainer called me this morning and said he wanted to go for the French Derby. "The trainer is no dummy, so I'll indulge him. "The English Derby looked very tough anyway. "I have another horse, Triple Threat, who I think is better than First Cornerstone. "He was going for the French Derby but has had problems with the stalls and he'll have to wait for the Grand Prix de Paris."
