Fame leads home 1-2 for Ballydoyle

Wed 22nd Oct 2008, 16:35

Aidan O'Brien trained the first two home in the mile juvenile maide but the result was not as most punters would have predicted, with newcomer Fame And Glory (6/1) staying on best to deny the well-backed Sirgarfieldsobers

Stephen Hunter partnered his fourth winner of the campaign as the Montjeu colt found plenty when asked for his effort in the final furlong to beat the 2/1 favourite (from 3's) by a length and three quarters. The pair pulled five and a half lengths clear of third placed Fergus McIver

Cashmans give the winner a 33/1 quote for the 2009 Epsom Derby.
