Murphy's law over Yeats Cup chance

Andrew Murphy, supervising Yeats's Melbourne Cup bid, may not be a 'mathematician or a scientist' but he knows how good Aiden O'Brien's horse is.

After trainer Jamie Osborne said that the three kilogram pull in the weights his horse Geordieland (second) has over Yeats (first) from the Goodwood Cup will see the tables turned from that race, Murphy told a media conference today that he holds no fears for his star galloper.
