Heffernan Keeps the Ride on Fame and Glory
Johnny Murtagh rides Rip Van Winkle…
Fame and Glory will be ridden by Seamus Heffernan on Saturday in the Investec Derby at Epsom. He keeps the ride after two wins this season. Murtagh rides 2000 Guineas 4th, Rip Van Winkle. Heffernan was aboard Fame And Glory when he won the Derrinstown Derby Trial by an impressive five lengths. The market will now react, but before you panic, if follwing our advice on Fame and Glory to win the Derby at Epsom…
