It took place at Epsom Downs Racecourse on 4 June 1980. The race was won by Etti Plesch's American bred Henbit at odds of 7/1. Ridden by Willie Carson and trained at West Ilsley by Dick Hern, Henbit would be the second Derby winner in two years for the trainer/jockey duo. While the winning margin of just three quarters of a length was unremarkable, that Henbit returned with a fractured cannon bone in his off-fore leg, thought to have occurred a furlong and a half from the finish led his trainer to describe him as a "very brave horse".https://go.gale.com/ps/navigateToIssue?u=mclib&p=TTDA&mCode=0FFO&issueDate=119800605&issueNumber=60643&loadFormat=page Michael Phillips Henbit's victory leaves a bitter-sweet taste The Times 12 5 June 1980 2020-04-12 Furthermore, the winning time of 2:34.77 was the fastest since Nijinsky won in 1970.
