JOHNNY Murtagh is convinced Jan Vermeer, his mount in today’s Derby, is the ideal type for Epsom.
FINALLY, we can get down to business this afternoon, leaving all the St Nicholas Abbey drama behind us, and concentrate on the most exciting flat race in the world, the Epsom Derby.
JOHN McCRIRICK has plumped for Rewilding at Epsom today – but not with tremendous confidence in what he describes as an “enigmatic” Investec Derby.
