Emmet McNamara’s Derby ride evokes happy memories for Steve Cauthen

The Limerick jockey was having just his ninth ride of the season in the Classic.

Serpentine and Emmet McNamara are well clear of their rivals as they round Tattenham Corner on Saturday. Serpentine made virtually all in a style reminiscent of Cauthen on Slip Anchor back in 1985 to give trainer Aidan O’Brien an eighth Epsom Derby victory, a record number of wins.
