STREAKING CLEAR: Auguste Rodin and Ryan Moore winning The Vertem Futurity Trophy Stakes

In the end it was a big fuss about nothing as the ante-post Derby favourite Auguste Rodin more than coped with heavy ground at Doncaster to win the Vertem Futurity Trophy and provide Aidan O'Brien with a record 11th success in the Group One.

O'Brien did not give the green light for the son of the late, great Japanese stallion Deep Impact, out of Coolmore's own Rhododendron, to run until the race before.
