Oisin Murphy wins on 10-1 shot for Andrew BaldingOdds-on favourite Pinatubo finishes only third“I wanted to carry him on my shoulders and swing him round and make him dizzy,” Oisin Murphy said of Kameko’s trainer, Andrew Balding, after recording the first Classic success of his career in the 2,000 Guineas at a spectator-less Newmarket on Saturday. “But first of all, I’m not big or strong enough to do that, and secondly, there’d be a lot of bad press tomorrow morning.”
In this time of physically distanced racing behind closed doors, however, a back-slapping celebration was the only thing missing fortrainer and jockey, on a day when their belief in Kameko was fully vindicated.
