Masar denied odds-on favourite Saxon Warrior to win the Derby at Epsom and give trainer Charlie Appleby his first classic.Aidan O'Brien had five runners in a field of 12 and was seeking a record-equalling seventh Derby.But Saxon Warrior could only finish fourth as 16-1 shot Masar, ridden by William Buick, claimed a first Derby triumph for the Godolphin stable.

Wow, very impressive horse...he opened my eyes after he lost his irons at the 5/16ths pole in the BC Juvenile Turf last season and was only beaten 3. Lots of very nice turf runners are coming out of that race on both sides of the pond, Sands of Mali, James Garfield, Beckford, My Boy Jack, of course Mendelssohn and Catholic Boy to name a few! TJ
