CITY OF TROY gains redemption to give Aidan O'Brien a record-extending 10th Derby triumph

City Of Troy was back to his brilliant best as he ran out a convincing victor in the Betfred Derby at Epsom. Aidan O’Brien’s charge had been a superstar juvenile but fluffed his lines when well beaten in the 2000 Guineas. However, just like stablemate Auguste Rodin did 12 months ago, the Justify colt, who was sent on his way as the 3-1 favourite, silenced any doubters with a dazzling display in the blue riband event. Ryan Moore had to pick a route through after being caught inside in mid-division turning for home, but fortune favoured the brave as he powered home to score by two and three-quarter lengths from Ambiente Friendly, who travelled smoothly throughout but could not match the winner’s turn of foot. It was a record-extending 10th Derby triumph for Ballydoyle maestro O’Brien, and a fourth win in the race for Moore. O’Brien also saddled the third home in the shape of Los Angeles. O’Brien said: “The exciting thing for us is Justify (his sire); he has looked very special all the way and the class that they have, speed as well as stamina, is amazing. “Ryan gave him an incredible ride and I’m so grateful to everyone for the work they have done. “We knew the Guineas was totally wrong and I made mistakes training him, that’s the bottom line. There were stones I didn’t look under, he was too fresh, he was unprepared, he blew up, that’s the reality. “But we learned from it and knew the ability he had – and since then everything has been beautiful.” Coolmore partner Michael Tabor is one of those who never lost faith in City Of Troy. He said: “It means everything, going forward with all the options we have with this horse, it’s just something to enjoy, that’s the main thing. Aidan said this is the best we’ve ever had and everything has come true.” Asked if City Of Troy is the best Derby winner he has trained, O’Brien declared: “I’d say no doubt! “Because he has the cruise, he has the balance, he quickens and he stays. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that.” Moore said: “I had a nice position, but then the horses in front of me weren’t the right ones to take me as far as I wanted to go so I had to find a little bit of room. “The race opened up with the loose horse (Voyage unseated Pat Dobbs soon after the stalls opened) and I travelled well into the straight. He picked up and went to the front very easy and I felt he was still a little bit of inexperienced. “With the loose horse in front of him I felt he didn’t know what to do, but he changed his leads near the line and went on again.” He went on: “I’m just delighted as he showed so much as a two-year-old, but we got a few things wrong on the day in the Guineas. Aidan’s got him back, we didn’t loose faith in the horse and stuck to the plan and it’s paid off. “We believed if he turned up like we thought he would he’d be too good for them and he was. “I was always happy where I was, it’s never always going to be smooth with a field that size, but he took me there easily. He was in control a fair way out.” #horseracing #horse #horses Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!

Tyson Fury  VS. Oleksandr Usyk | FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS #boxing #sports #action #combat #fighting
Tyson Fury VS. Oleksandr Usyk | FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS #boxing #sports #action #combat #fighting

Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), entering the ring with the WBA, IBF, and WBO belts, secured Tyson Fury's (34-1-1, 24 KOs) WBC and lineal titles, thus becoming undisputed. The last time boxing witnessed an undisputed heavyweight champion was in 2000 during Lennox Lewis's reign in the three-belt era. The momentum shifted notably in the ninth round when Usyk nearly concluded the match and secured a knockdown. Two judges scored the bout 115-112 and 114-113 for Usyk, while the third adjudged it 114-113 for Fury. Both pugilists initiated the bout with active jabs, yet Usyk set the tempo and landed more impactful shots in the initial rounds. In the first round's closing moments, he caught Fury with a looping left hook and commenced the second round with a solid two-punch combination. Usyk persisted in pressing forward in the third round, though Fury started finding his rhythm, throwing increased combinations and landing effective body shots despite fighting defensively. Despite this, Fury stayed busy behind his jab and executed a solid right uppercut early in the fourth round, followed by a potent right hand to the body, causing Usyk to retreat. In the sixth round, a significant right uppercut stunned Usyk, visibly affecting him and prompting a momentary defensive cover-up. Fury sought to establish control, displaying agility and taunting Usyk while landing precise jabs. Another powerful right uppercut by Fury in the seventh round made Usyk retreat, yet Usyk persisted, striking Fury with a straight right hand and concluding the round with a combination. In the eighth round, Usyk exhibited resilience, landing a three-punch combination and compelling Fury to retreat into the ropes after a potent overhand left. Subsequently, Usyk connected with a substantial two-punch combination and staggered Fury with a looping right hand in the round's waning seconds, causing swelling below Fury's right eye.
