2009 Derby
Mick Kinane’s dreams have come true, as he again rode a Derby winner home, this time Sea The Stars, who won in excellent fashion. Before the off, Sea The Stars had the composed look of a top class horse and potential Derby winner. He lived up to that and all the praise heaped on him recently. The only worries about him were would he stay the full 1m4f having won the 1,000 Guineas, the 1m Classic. But he proved to have the distance and won easily in the end, coming in at 11/4 as 2nd favourite.
2nd place went to Fame and Glory, who went off favourite after lots of heavy money went in on him, including several 100k bets at the course.
According to the BBC coverage Irish bookie Paddy Power lost around 2m on Sea The Stars win.
