One of the greatest Derbys.
Roberto went on to beat Brigadier Gerrard and Rhinegold won the Arc!!

Lester, the magician, but he got a stewards warning for beating Roberto to get him over the line

[@WESSERPARAQUAT]

the result would have been the other way around IF , Lester had been on Rhinegold no doubt at all about that
