Frankie Dettori won the Epsom Derby at long last yesterday on his 15th attempt, partnering 5-4 favourite Authorized to a sizzling five-length triumph. Dettori came through on the outside with 300 metres to go and rushed home unchallenged from 6-1 shot Eagle Mountain, the mount of Johnny Murtagh and one of eight runners for Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien. Third place in the 17-strong field, two-and-a-half lengths away, went to 9-1 chance Aqaleem, ridden by Richard Hills. Authorized's victory ended a long Derby wait for Dettori, 36, dating back to 1992.
