Wait for O’Brien to solve Derby mystery

TWO weeks to the Epsom Derby and the mystery continues.

The mystery centres on how St Nicholas Abbey is still such a short-priced favourite, despite the fact two of his stable companions, Midas Touch and Cape Blanco, have produced far better trials.

The money this week came for Midas Touch and there is no doubt that was a reality and not just a figment of the imagination of some bookmaker’s agent attempting to pull the wool over an unsuspecting public’s eyes.
