North Light, the 7-2 joint favourite ridden by Kieren Fallon for trainer Michael Stoute, galloped to a one and a half length success in the Epsom Derby.
It was a remarkable classic double for the jockey and trainer who won the Derby a year ago on Kris Kin. Second place in the 14-strong field went to Rule of Law (20-1) with Let the Lion Roar (14-1) in third.
The result was a huge disappointment for Frankie Dettori who was riding the other 7-2 joint favourite Snow Ridge for the Godolphin stable but finished in mid-division.
Dettori has still to win the Derby after 12 unsuccessful attempts.
