O´Brien Expected At Epsom Legendary former trainer Vincent O´Brien, who numbered six Derby victories among his many significant achievements, will be the guest of honour at Epsom for this year´s June Festival. Larkspur, Sir Ivor, Nijinsky, Roberto, The Minstrel and Golden Fleece all won the mile-and-a-half Classic for O´Brien, who is already looking forward to the June 7 highlight. "I am most touched to be chosen as guest of honour for this year´s Epsom Derby," said O´Brien. "I could never have imagined 80 years ago, growing up on our farm in remote Co. Cork, that I would have been chosen for this special honour." (C) PA Sport
