Secreto, trained by David O'Brien,
just beats El Gran Senor, trained by
David's father Vincent O'Brien, to win
the Derby at Epsom.
"The longer you wait, the farther
you'll win by," is the message the
great Vincent O'Brien is reported to
have conveyed to Pat Eddery, who rode
red-hot favourite El Gran Senor. But
they had not reckoned on Secreto and
his never-say-die partner Christy
Roche. Even today, when I look at the
replay, I cannot believe El Gran Senor
gets beaten. But he did.
