Unfavoured 3-year old Military Move has won the $2.2 million New Zealand Derby at Ellerslie.

Ridden by Michael Walker, Military Move has come home strong to finish ahead of Corporal Jones and Handsome Zulu.

An emotional Walker credits trainer Shaune Ritchie.

He says he felt he could win the race from the top of the straight and it is credit to Ritchie for training the stayer.

Ritchie was a strapper for Bonecrusher.

A crowd of 11,000 attended the first day of Auckland Cup Week and Australian woman Kelli Odell won the Prix de Fashion, taking away a $100,000 prize including a new Mercedes motorcar.
