O’Brien the ideal man to apply golden touch to Fame And Glory

BOOKMAKERS and punters were singing off the one hymn sheet after Fame And Glory had landed the Saval Beg Stakes at Leopardstown last Sunday.

Most seemed to be in full agreement that the son of Montjeu had done nothing to enhance his Ascot Gold Cup prospects and would not be winning come June 16.

Leading the charge were Ladbrokes, who couldn’t push his odds out quick enough and offered a top price of 100-30. They were later joined by a couple of other firms.
