Irish trainer saddles yet another winner in Epsom showpieceBig outsider King Of Steel run down to finish close second
Auguste Rodin became the ninth winner of the Derby for Aidan O’Brien, holding off King of Steel to win the Epsom Classic, just weeks after being beaten 22 lengths in the 2,000 Guineas.
It looked as though the 66-1 outsider King Of Steel had stolen an unassailable lead coming into the final furlong, but Auguste Rodin (9-2), ridden by Ryan Moore, was gaining with every stride and collared him in the shadow of the post. White Birch ran on for third with Artistic Star taking fourth.
