Mystik Dan just held on by a nose in a three-way photo-finish to claim Kentucky Derby glory for trainer Kenny McPeek and jockey Brian Hernandez Jr.
Sierra Leone came home strongly but couldn't quite give his Coolmore owners compensation for City Of Troy's disappointing display in the 2000 Guineas, while Japanese raider Forever Young was another nose back in third.
