John Gosden is looking forward to seeing how leading Investec Derby contender Wings Of Desire adapts to the demands of Epsom at the Breakfast With The Stars morning next Tuesday.Having failed to make the racecourse as a juvenile, the son of Pivotal has made remarkably rapid progress in recent weeks.A promising debut effort at Newmarkets Craven meeting suggested the future was bright, but even a trainer of Gosdens huge experience admitted to being taken aback by his subsequent development. A routine victory under the lights at Wolverhampton was followed by a Dante victory at York that confirmed his position as Britains leading hope for the main event on the first Saturday of June.Gosden took last years Derby hero Golden Horn to the famous Downs for a sighter prior to his brilliant victory and is keen to do the same with his latest potential star.Speaking at an Investec-sponsored media event, the trainer said: Well go to the morning at Epsom and Ive already got the work instructions from the trainer, Frankie Dettori!Ill let you know how he handles the track afterwards. If he gets on the wrong lead and winds up in the fairgrounds were in trouble!With Gosden having decided to take his immature colt out of the Epsom showpiece in early March with a view to instead aiming at the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot, connections must now stump up £75,000 to supplement.I thought wed take him out of the Derby on March 7 and go straight for the King Edward. I think its still a very good idea, alas Ive been made a fool of, said Gosden.Its very exciting. The conservative thing to do would be to go for the King Edward and if hed finished third in the Dante, thats probably what wed have done.But he wins the Dante, and if you win the Dante you go for the Derby. The owners are very clear what they want.Hes earned the money and now were giving it back again.Hes every inch a mile-and-a-half horse. That will be his best trip and I probably wont bring him back to a mile and a quarter again.If things go well youd probably put him away for a King George or something like that. Hes a proper mile-and-a-half horse, like his brother (Eagle Top), but hes a more masculine version.Wings Of Desire is a general 4-1 shot in a Derby market that lacks clarity due to the potential inclusion of top-class filly Minding.Gosden has not hidden his admiration of Aidan OBriens stunning 1000 Guineas heroine, but with connections having strengthened their hand following The Gurkhas French 2000 Guineas romp on Sunday, he expects the Ballydoyle camp to take the more logical option of keeping Minding against her own sex in the Investec Oaks.The beautifully-bred Galileo filly is odds-on across the board for Classic glory following the news Gosdens Musidora scorer So Mi Dar would miss the race through injury.Gosden said: Theyve got a lot of cards to play. Why would you need to run Minding there when she can run in an Oaks?US Army Ranger and the horse that was second to him (Port Douglas) at Chester are good horses, I think Deauville is a good horse and I was in Deauville and The Gurkha was impressive.Ive got to be honest, I think he (The Gurkha) beat Group Three horses in France.A horse of my wifes (Crazy Horse) was beaten a length for second.But he totally showed hes a Group One horse, so hes exciting if he runs in the Derby. Who knows, he could run in the St Jamess Palace.I expect Aidan to turn up with about six colts at least (at Epsom) and I expect Minding to remain in the Oaks.Wings Of Desire could yet be joined in the Derby by stable companion Linguistic.The Godolphin-owned youngster, who was narrowly denied in the Dee Stakes at Chester, could aim to book his place at Epsom in either the Cocked Hat Stakes at Goodwood on Friday or the Fairway Stakes at Newmarket 24 hours later.He might run in either the Fairway or at Goodwood and he could still be supplemented for the Derby, depending on weather forecasts, Gosden added.Also See:Live results serviceFull racecardsGet Sky SportsRiley Ridley Bears Jersey .

Roquan Smith Womens Jersey .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras.COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- When the GPS Myles Garrett wears during practice let Kevin Sumlin know he was running almost 22 mph on Wednesday, Texas A&Ms coach knew his star defensive end was finally healthy.On Saturday Garrett showed that what he can do when he isnt ailing, finishing with a career-high 4 1/2 sacks to help No. 23 Texas A&M get back on track with a 23-10 win over UTSA.Twenty-two mph is ridiculous. I hadnt seen that in a while, Sumlin said. He was smiling. He was bouncing around and you could just tell by his face because he hasnt been in a good mood. Hes been frustrated.Jake Hubenak threw for 248 yards and a touchdown to help the Aggies (8-3) get a victory they desperately needed after consecutive losses to Mississippi State and Mississippi ruined their shot at the College Football Playoff.Garrett had missed two games and was limited in several others because of a high ankle sprain. He finished with eight tackles, broke up a pass and forced a fumble. Instead of limping as he has been in recent weeks, Garrett was harassing UTSAs two quarterbacks all game.It was great to finally be able to move and get off close to how I wanted to, he said. I just demonstrated what level I can play at when Im close to being healthy.He further showed his ankle was fine when he batted down a pass in the second quarter and celebrated with a spirited dance. He had another big play in the fourth quarter when he sacked Jared Johnson to force a fumble, which A&M recovered.Garrett has 8 1/2 sacks this season to give him 32 1/2 for his career, making him the eighth player in Southeastern Conference history with at least 30 career sacks. His 4 1/2 sacks on Saturday were second in school history behind a five-sack day by Alex Morris in 1987, and he moved in front of Hall of Famer Reggie White for sixth-most career sacks in SEC history.They are phenomenal at the defensive end position, UTSA coach Frank Wilson said.Sumlin raved about Garrett playing through his injury. He was especially impressed with his work considering he will likely be one of the top picks if he declares for the NFL draft.A guy that has as bright a future as he has too play in a situation where he could have just said: `Im going to save myself until Im ready to go, Sumlin said.dddddddddddd It says a lot about what kind of person he is ... what kind of teammate he is and how much he cares about this team and wanting to win.The Roadrunners cut the lead to 3 points early in the second quarter after a one-handed touchdown grab by Josh Stewart. The Aggies then scored the next 13 points, capped by a 47 yard run by Trayveon Williams to make it 23-7 in the third quarter.UTSA (5-6) was led by Johnson, who threw for 186 yards and a touchdown.THE TAKEAWAYUTSA: The Roadrunners, who have had a football team only since 2011, showed theyve made a lot of progress by keeping things close. But in the end they just arent yet on the level to deal with the size and speed of a team like Texas A&M.TEXAS A&M: The Aggies did what they were supposed to do against a lesser opponent, but Hubenak and the offense will need to be sharper when they return to SEC play next week.Hes been effective for what weve asked him to do, Sumlin said. His biggest characteristic right now is hes finding the playmakers.CHASING 1,000Williams had 11 carries for 80 yards to leave him 44 yards shy of becoming the first true freshman at the school to rush for 1,000 yards. Sumlin said Williams was a bit frustrated in the first half when he couldnt get much going and the coach told him if he was patient he would break a big run on Saturday. After his touchdown carry he said to Sumlin: I have to listen more.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Aggies could move up a couple of spots in the poll after losses to a handful of teams ahead of them on Saturday, but dont look for them to make too much of a jump from this non-conference victory.UP NEXTUTSA: The Roadrunners will look to become bowl eligible for the first time when they host Charlotte on Saturday.TEXAS A&M : The Aggies face a quick turnaround, wrapping up the regular season Thursday night when they host No. 16 LSU.---More AP college football http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
