Auguste Rodin wins Epsom Derby as Frankie Dettori denied farewell win on Arrest
Ryan Moore won his third Derby by guiding Auguste Rodin to victory at Epsom as Frankie Dettori finished 10th on Arrest in his last ride in the race.and there was tight security to prevent animal rights protesters disrupting the race's 244th running.
One did make it onto the track before he was tackled by police, while another was stopped from climbing a fence."He came with a massive reputation as a beautiful horse but he kept stepping up to all the markers all the way, which is very unusual," said O'Brien. Auguste Rodin chased down outsider King of Steel to win by around a length and the two finished well clear of White Birch in third with Sprewell in fourth.
"We had a smooth run. We landed in a smooth spot, I had William [Buick, on Military Order] and Frankie [Dettori, on Arrest] ahead of me and was always confident I had them covered," Moore said on ITV."I always thought I had the race won, but I just had to get into him in the last furlong and he responded very gamely. He's done that quite cosily, I think.""The track was too much for him , he just could not run down the hill," said the 52-year-old Italian.
