Aidan O’Brien is once again the man to beat in the 245th running of the Epsom Derby this afternoon.
The trainer has a record nine wins in this iconic race and there is every chance he reaches double figures, with City of Troy the favourite to make it back-to-back victories for O’Brien and Ryan Moore, after last year’s success for Auguste Rodin.
Stablemate Los Angeles also appears to have a strong chance, with Ambient Friendly also well-fancied despite a surprise switch of jockey from Callum Shepherd to Robert Havlin.
What time does the Epsom Derby start?
The 2024 Epsom is set to be run at 4:30pm this afternoon, Saturday June 1.
It is the sixth race on the card, with two more following it to complete the day of racing at Epsom.
