St Nicholas Abbey defended his crown in the Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup at Epsom with a brilliant performance under Joseph O'Brien.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained son of Montjeu was sent off the 8-11 favourite to get back to winning ways, having suffered a shock defeat at the hands of his pacemaker Windsor Palace in his prep run at the Curragh.

Camelot etched in Derby legend.

Hot favourite Camelot kept his unbeaten record intact with a superb victory in the Investec Derby at Epsom.

Aidan O'Brien's 2000 Guineas hero was sent off the 8-13 favourite to complete the Classic double, and the trainer's son, Joseph, 19, was happy to sit towards the rear for much of the mile-and-a-half journey.

For a moment in the straight it appeared his stablemate Astrology had stolen a march, but Camelot mowed him down heading towards the final furlong and finished strongly to secure a five-length success over Main Sequence, who narrowly denied O'Brien a one-two, getting up on the line to edge second.
