Epsom Derby: French raider Pour Moi to run in Classic

French trainer Andre Fabre says his horse Pour Moi will run in the Epsom Derby on 4 June and is his best chance so far of winning the big race. The Montjeu colt, who is owned by the Coolmore team, won stylishly in the Prix Greffulhe at Saint-Cloud in May.

"Pour Moi is the best chance I've ever had here. He's a good horse," said Fabre.
