## Resource

Ryan Moore, Aidan OBrien’s top jockey, has picked Benvenuto Cellini as his Derby mount — a bold call that leaves other O’Brien stars in the hands of rivals. Meanwhile, Christophe Soumillon, chasing his first English classic, eyes Pierre Bonnard as his shot at glory, fueled by past success and a taste of O’Brien’s stable when Moore was sidelined. For Soumillon, victory would cement his legacy among elite French Derby winners. Other O’Brien riders like Wayne Lordan and Ronan Whelan also get chances, while Joseph O’Brien aims to win as a trainer — a rare feat. With undefeated contender Item and a treacherous track adding to the drama, the Derby promises a fiercely contested battle where jockey choice, horse maturity, and ground conditions will decide the winner.
