Derby 2005
Epsom Derby 2005 Result
Motivator the talking horse all season lived up to all this talk and carried on improving as a three year old and justified his status as 3-1 favourite by romping to a five-length victory in the Vodafone Derby at Epsom.
The Michael Bell-trained colt stormed clear two furlongs out to give jockey Johnny Murtagh his third Derby win.
Walk in the Park, who had been very heated before the race, ran a strong race under Alan Munro to take second. Frankie Dettori's winless run in England's premier flat race continued as he finished third on Dubawi, with Jamie Spencer taking fourth on Fracas.
