Moore claims Derby on Workforce Workforce ran out a brilliant winner of the Epsom Derby to complete a Ryan Moore Classic double. Sir Michael Stoute's colt - sent off at 6-1 - surged to a seven-length victory from Aidan O'Brien's pacemaker At First Sight (100-1). Frankie Dettori and Godolphin filled third spot with Rewilding at 9-2, with 9-4 favourite Jan Vermeer out of the places. At First Sight had most of the big guns toiling as he upped the pace rounding Tattenham Corner. But as most of the field struggled in vain to get on terms, Moore had Workforce powering through to take it up two out. And the pair surged seven lengths clear to score in a course-record time. Workforce - having only the third race of his life - is the first horse to win the race having been beaten in York's Dante Stakes. Jan Vermeer meanwhile - the subject of a major ante-post gamble and who came in for late support on course - appeared to have no excuses. He travelled well for Johnny Murtagh but had nothing in the tank when Workforce powered through to take it up. Moore said: "He had a really clean run, I was happy where I was in the race. "We got a dream run and he quickened really well. The ground was fast enough for him, but he's a really good horse and I'm delighted with that. "This is the most important race to me, it's great to ride for the boss (Stoute) and Prince Khalid (Abdullah, owner). It's really good day." Stoute said: "The Dante didn't go as we wanted and it was unsatisfactory, but he was seriously good today. "I'm delighted for Ryan. He's a confident lad, but after he missed Conduit's win in the Leger, I wanted to get the monkey (Classic win) off his back." At First Sight's rider Seamie Heffernan said: "I was second on one of the favourites (Fame And Glory) last year and I was second on an outsider today. My experience of the course helped and they just let me go." Murtagh added: "I was right upsides Ryan (Moore), but when he quickened up I couldn't go with him. I was never really confident at any stage." O'Brien said: "Jan Vermeer lost both his front shoes, but the second horse stays really well. The winner looked exceptional."
