 | | The transformation in Murphy's fortunes is truly remarkable, since it is barely two years since he was sentenced to six months in prison after a drunken rampage on a plane. |
 | | His principal retainer is with the owner David Johnson, rather than with Johnson's main trainer, Martin Pipe, and Pipe has made it clear on at least one occasion that he still regards McCoy as a rider without equal in the weighing room. |
 | | Murphy, meanwhile, has shown an impressive ability to grab every chance placed in front of him since he emerged from prison in late 2002, and a combination of Henrietta Knight's faith and McCoy's misfortune has now provided another window of opportunity. |
