Cape Blanco led home a clean sweep for the Aidan O'Brien camp in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh.
Johnny Murtagh settled in fourth for most of the way on the 7-2 shot and moved up to challenge early in the straight when his stable companion Midas Touch took over in front.
Jan Vermeer joined in and the three Ballydoyle horses fought it out through the final furlong, with Cape Blanco asserting in the last 100 yards to score by half a length. Midas Touch took second, ahead of Jan Vermeer.
