A review of the rest of Saturday afternoon's meeting at Epsom as Andrew Balding and Martin Dwyer teamed up to win the opener with Le Don De Vie.
Le Don is the one in the opener
Andrew Balding, trainer of leading Derby hope Bangkok, got his day off to a cracking start as Le Don De Vie won the opening Investec Private Banking Handicap.
The 5/1 shot was partnered by Martin Dwyer, who rode Sir Percy to win the Derby in 2006.
He told ITV Racing: "There's no better place to be in the world than Epsom on Derby day. It's quick and it's nice (ground) - there's no jar."
1000th winner for Hannon
Richard Hannon does not have a runner in the Derby, but it was still a red-letter day for the trainer as he saddled his 1,000th winner.
Anna Nerium (9/2) chalked up the all-important success as she swooped late in the Group Three Princess Elizabeth Stakes.
Hannon said: "It's great. I've had a lot of seconds lately and it's great to do it on a day like this."
Sky Bet cut the winner to 8/1 from 16s for the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Zaaki leaves it late
Zaaki graduated to Group Three glory as he produced a determined display in the Investec Diomed Stakes at Epsom.
Sir Michael Stoute's charge was placed at that level last term, including at Royal Ascot, and following a narrow Listed success over Barney Roy on his seasonal bow at Ascot last month, punters were keen to get behind Ryan Moore's mount.
Sent off the 11-8 favourite, Zaaki appeared to have plenty still to do at the top of the hill sitting a handful of lengths off the leading trio, with Bye Bye Hong Kong setting the pace.
However, when Moore gave the signal with a couple of furlongs to run, Zaaki started to extend himself and hit the front inside the extended mile distance.
Oh This Is Us tried to launch a last-gasp bid down the outside, but Zaaki had him covered and went on to triumph by a length.
