Adam Kirby's despair at being jocked off John Leeper ended in joy as he won the Epsom Derby on Adayar giving trainer Charlie Appleby his second win in the blue riband of flat racing on Saturday. Appleby had three runners in the race but it was the outsider of the three Adayar who came home clear of Mojo Star. Favourite Bolshoi Ballet had every chance but faded to finish out of the placings whilst John Leeper never got into contention under Frankie Dettori. Kirby's joy was champion jockey Oisin Murphy's loss as he had been slated to ride the winner until Dettori got put on John Leeper. pi/nr
