LAMBOURN LANDS ANOTHER DERBY WIN FOR O'BRIEN

Record extended to 11 victories as clean sweep of Group Ones completed

- By CHRIS WRIGHT at Epsom

TRAINER Aidan O'Brien's domination of the Betfred Derby continued as Lambourn (15-2) led almost from start to finish to provide the Ballydoyle maestro with a record-extending 11th victory in the Epsom Classic on Saturday afternoon.

Arguably the Irish trainer's third choice after 2-1 favourite Delacroix, the pick of stable jockey Ryan Moore, and former ante-post market leader The Lion In Winter, Lambourn proved he wasn’t just making up the numbers with a superb front-running display under Wayne Lordan, who was winning the Derby for a first time

For O’Brien it was a second clean sweep of the three Group Ones at the Derby Festival in the same year. In 2012 Camelot won the Derby after 20-1 shot Was had won the Oaks and St Nicholas Abbey had claimed the second of his three Coronation Cup victories.

After Jan Brueghel had won the Coronation Cup and Minnie Hauk claimed the Oaks on Friday - both under Moore - Lambourn brought up the big-race treble.
