Epsom Derby: Wings of Eagles stuns field in Britain's richest horse race

Wings of Eagles wins the 2017 Epsom Derby.

Wings of Eagles, 40-1 outsider, won the Epsom Derby. It was the first Derby ride for Padraig Beggy. Trainer Aidan O'Brien has now won six Derby titles in the past 17 years. Cliffs of Moher and Cracksman were the favorites. The Anvil had opened up a three-length lead in early stages. Ryan Moore’s Clifford's Moer and Frankie Dettori's Crackman came in second and third. The winner is the biggest priced winner of the Derby since Snow Knight (50-2) in 1974.
