- Lambourn, ridden by Wayne Lordan, won the 246th Betfred Derby on June 7, 2025, at Epsom Downs Racecourse, giving trainer Aidan O'Brien his 11th victory in the event.

- This victory extended O'Brien's record in the Derby and underscored Lordan's return after serious injury, suggesting Lambourn could target further prestigious races such as the St Leger.
