Blonde snaps up Derby crown

It was clear in the days leading up to Saturday’s decider that the opening exchanges were going to have a massive say in the outcome of the stg£125,000 contest and so it proved.

Defending champion Taylors Sky took a flier from trap four, but was soon joined by Ireland’s only hope Judicial Ruling.
