Aidan O’Brien’s City Of Troy wins the 2024 Epsom Derby
Winning jockey Ryan Moore and trainer Aidan O’Brien after winning the Betfred Derby with City Of Troy on derby day of The Betfred Derby Festival at Epsom Downs Racecourse
City Of Troy was back to his brilliant best as he ran out a convincing victor in the Betfred Derby at Epsom.
Aidan O’Brien’s charge had been a superstar juvenile but fluffed his lines when well beaten in the 2000 Guineas.
However, just like stablemate Auguste Rodin did 12 months ago, the Justify colt, who was sent on his way as the 3-1 favourite, silenced any doubters with a dazzling display in the blue riband event.
Ryan Moore had to pick a route through after being caught inside in mid-division turning for home, but fortune favoured the brave as he powered home to score by two and three-quarter lengths lengths from Ambiente Friendly, who travelled smoothly throughout but could not match the winner’s turn of foot.
It was a record-extending 10th Derby triumph for Ballydoyle maestro O’Brien, and a fourth win in the race for Moore. O’Brien also saddle the third home in the shape of Los Angeles.
