| Racewatch: Derby day All the action from day two of the Vodafone Derby meeting at Epsom, including the Derby itself. 1745 Vodafone Vizzavi Handicap (6f) Onlytime Will Tell completed the winners on Derby Day at Epsom racecourse. Franny Norton rode the 10-1 shot to a surprise win over clear pre-race favourite Further Outlook.

Onlytime Will Tell 10-1 Distance: 1�, 4 1710 Vodafone Rated Stakes (1m 4f) Kieren Fallon went some way to make up for his disappointing Derby performance to win the penultimate race of the day.

Salim Toto 7-2 Distance: 5, 2� 1635 Vodafone Dash Rated Stakes (5f) Trainer Dandy Nicholls emulated the achievements of Aidan O'Brien in this race with Rudi's Pet a comfortable winner ahead of stablemate Watching.

Another O'Brien charge Hawk Wing, the pre-race favourite, put in a sensational late bid for victory but had to make do with second. Moon Ballad had set the pace until the final two furlongs when Johnny Murtagh moved High Chaparral into the lead. Michael Kinane pushed Hawk Wing to the line but it proved insufficient to take the �800,400 winner's cheque. It was O'Brien's second successive Derby win after Galileo's victory 12 months ago.
