Epsom Derby 2016 Results: Winner, Payouts and Order of Finish

Pat Smullen won his first Epsom Derby title riding atop Harzand. HarZand finished ahead of Aidan O'Brien duo US Army Ranger and Idaho. The 2016 Epsoms Derby was the richest race in the UK with a purse of £1,545,000.

Epsom Derby 2016 has been won by the winner.

US Army Ranger and Wings of Desire were the favourites to win the Epsom Derby. Harzand's chances were in doubt after he lost a shoe and was bleeding from the foot. Ulysses and Port Douglas were leading the pack early on. Idaho and HarZand pushed the field into the final straight.

Smullen hails the colt's efforts in holding off the favourite.

Harzand won the Ballysax Stakes and Blackwater Maiden in Ireland before his victory here. Dettori and Moore will have to wait until next year to defend their Epsom title.
