LAST weekend’s classics day in Epsom resulted in much debate on the various performances. It resembled the Too Good, Too Bad segment on Match Of The Day, in which they select some of best, worst and amusing stories from a weekend of action.

Serpentine won the Derby by five and a half lengths at odds of 25/1 on Saturday. Too bad, some thought. How exactly did that happen? The Derby looked over at Tattenham Corner. It was shades of Slip Anchor many years ago. But he was favourite. Serpentine can’t be that good?
