BENVENUTO CELLINI claimed Classic glory with victory in the Irish Derby at the Curragh on Sunday

BENVENUTO CELLINI ridden by Ryan Moore storms to victory in Irish Derby

Ridden by Ryan Moore, the Ballydoyle-trained colt settled in rear after leaving the stalls and switched right before moving up into midfield after four furlongs. The colt soon made fluent headway and took up the lead from two furlongs out. He was ridden out to score by a length and three-quarters from Epsom Derby hero CHRISTMAS DAY (by Camelot), with 2025 Group 1-winning juvenile PIERRE BONNARD (by Camelot) in third.
