Oisin Murphy dreaming of Derby and Oaks double

The Irish jockey has not yet won the Derby or the Oaks — but has high hopes of netting one or both this year with The Foxes and Running Lion respectively

Oisin Murphy is thrilled to have live chances in both the Betfred Derby and Oaks at Epsom next week as he bids to continue his excellent comeback campaign.

The three-time champion jockey has been in high demand since returning from a 14-month suspension for alcohol and covid breaches and has already claimed Classic glory aboard the Saeed bin Suroor-trained Mawj in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket.
