- William Buick pips Frankie Dettori at the Curragh
- Aidan O’Brien favourite High Definition is well beaten
Hurricane Lane denied Lone Eagle in the final stages in a thrilling finale as British raiders dominated the Irish Derby at the Curragh.
Frankie Dettori looked to have stolen the Classic on Martyn Meade’s Lone Eagle, shooting three lengths clear of a melee in behind with two furlongs to run. Hurricane Lane looked to be right in trouble, but once straightened out by William Buick he made up ground relentlessly, eventually prevailing by a neck.
