Mage swooped late to run down Two Phil's to land the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs under Hall of Fame jockey Javier Castellano in front of a crowd of 150,000.
One of the least experienced runners in the field he finished powerfully up the straight to triumph in the £2.5 million race on only his fourth start.
Two Phil's launched his bid by taking the lead entering the stretch but Mage swung eight wide on the turn and joined him with a furlong to run to score at 10-1 with Angel Of Empire taking third place
