EPSOM, England (Reuters) -Favourite City of Troy, ridden by Ryan Moore, won the 245th Epsom Derby on Saturday to give trainer Aidan O'Brien a record- extending 10th success in British flat racing's blue riband event.

The 3-1 favourite, last year's champion juvenile, came to Epsom Downs after disappointing in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket last month but surged through on the inside and galloped across the line two and three quarter lengths clear.
