Epstein ex ‘protected family’

- BY CHRISTOPHE­R BUCKTIN CROOKED

THE jump-racing highlight of the year has arrived, with four days of thrilling action to look forward to at the Cheltenham Festival.

Today is Day One and there are seven high-class races across the card, with the opener – the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle – due off at 13:20.

There are three other Grade 1 contests on the opening day, including the Champion Hurdle at 15:05 – where 10 of the best hurdlers are set to go to post.

Epatante, trained by Nicky Henderson, won this race 12 months ago and will be hoping this year to become the first mare to win two Champion Hurdles.

But she faces stiff competitio­n from Goshen and Honeysuckl­e.

US Editor GHISLAINE Maxwell told her family she was “going to deal” with the Jeffrey Epstein fallout before her arrest last July.

In his first TV interview since their crooked father Robert’s death in 1991, Ian Maxwell defended his sister and confirmed rumours she is married to millionair­e dad of two Scott Borgerson, 44. Ian said the last time he spoke to her was last June, when they and their siblings were together in London.

Fearing she may be quizzed about her late ex, paedophile Epstein, she told him: “I am

Siblings’ father Robert going to take the pressure so none of you have to, not Scott, not (brother) Kev. I am going to deal with it.” Ian, 64, said: “Ghislaine was married, with stepchildr­en, getting on with her life, then bang. She was simply seeking to protect her family. She was not running from law enforcemen­t.” Ghislaine, 59, once pictured with Prince Andrew and his accuser Virginia Roberts, is in a New York jail awaiting trial, charged with helping Epstein groom young girls.

She denies all allegation­s. Ian told US TV she is a “patsy” for Epstein. chris.bucktin@mirror.co.uk
