Amateur Derby glee for Mullins at Epsom

Champion Irish amateur Patrick Mullins made a successful trip to Epsom to take the Amateur Derby on Beacon Lady.

The record-breaking rider, son of top Irish jumps trainer Willie Mullins, booked himself for the mount on the William Knight-trained four-year-old.

Although this was Beacon Lady’s first visit to Epsom she had winning form at Brighton, which is a similar track, and had no problems handling the undulations.
