Anthony Van Dyck makes it ten triumphs for owner John Magnier
Anthony Van Dyck's triumph takes owner John Magnier into double figures in terms of Epsom Derby victories.
Magnier's name appears nowhere on the official Derby roll of honour, but in reality he has now won the race ten times as an owner – as the driving force behind the Robert Sangster and Coolmore partnerships.
Magnier was still young when he provided much of the expertise behind the syndicate whose horses were trained by his father-in-law Vincent O'Brien and usually ran in the name of football-pools heir Robert Sangster. They included Derby winners The Minstrel (1977, ridden by Piggott) and Golden Fleece (1982).
Nine of Magnier's Derby winners have been trained at Ballydoyle, the exception being the Andre Fabre-trained Pour Moi.
Lester Piggott holds the record for most wins as a jockey in the Derby with nine successes. Piggott rode Never Say Die, Crepello, St Paddy, Sir Ivor, Nijinsky, Roberto, Empery, The Minstrel and Teenoso to victory between 1954 and 1983.
