Lynch shines in amateur Derby

BUSINESS Studies student Andrew Lynch has a bright future ahead of him in racing if events at Epsom yesterday are anything to go by.

The 19-year-old from County Meath showed a cool head and confident style as he took the Burton & Smith Amateur Derby on 9-2 favourite Tender Falcon.

The race, run each year over the same course and distance of the world's most famous race, can be a test of the skills of the less-experienced jockeys who take part.
