Desert Crown won the Epsom Derby on the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Weekend.
The race favourite, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, was ridden to victory by Richard Kingscote. Desert Crown cruised into the lead with two furlongs to go and instantly pulled away to win the Derby in dominant fashion.
Changingoftheguard took an early lead but ultimately ran out of steam in the closing stages, as the market leader asserted. Kingscote positioned the horse perfectly, allowing Stoute to claim his sixth Derby win. The 5-2 shot came up the outside and finished clear of Hoo Ya Mal - a 150-1 outsider - as well as the fast-finishing Westover.
