AIDEN O'BRIEN landed a first blow on Dubai World Cup night when Daddy Long Legs surged home in the UAE Derby to provide the trainer witha first winner at Meydan.
O'Brien was only denied a one-two in the contest when Yang Tse Kiang denied Wrote on the run for home.
It was Godolphin's Helmet, drawn wide in stall 14, who set the pace to the race.
McEvoy made every effort to get across to the rail at the head of the field and didn't ease off once he got there.

ORTENSIA came from last to first under a cool ride from Craig Williams to beat 2010 Nunthorpe winner Sole Power to add to the claims of Australian female sprinters ruling the world.
The low-drawn set the pace, headed by Monsieur Joe, but the held-up pair Ortensia and Sole Power sprinted through late to deny Hong Kong's Grade 1 winner Joy And Fun, who did best of those near the inside rail.
