[dutchman]

The French-trained Pour Moi won a thrilling Epsom Derby as the Queen was denied a first victory in the race with her horse Carlton House third behind runner-up Treasure Beach.



Derby debutant Mickael Barzalona, 19, stood up and saluted the crowd as he passed the winning line in the dying strides to triumph by a head on the 4-1 second favourite, trained by Andre Fabre.

He just denied Treasure Beach in a photo finish with Carlton House three quarters of a length behind as a crowd of 100,000 roared the leaders on in a tight finale.

Barzalona waved the French flag after dashing the Queen's hopes of a first winner in the Classic for a reigning monarch in more than 100 years at her 10th attempt.
