Career
In June 2011, Barzalona rode Pour Moi to win the 2011 Epsom Derby at Epsom, performing a remarkable in-race move from last place to 1st over the final straight, winning by a head. He judged the finish to perfection, causing much comment by standing in his stirrups and celebrating before the race had finished. It provided an iconic image for the 2011 Derby. Less than 2 weeks later, Barzelona rode a good race to take 16-1 underdog, Opinion Poll to 2nd place in the Gold Cup at Ascot behind odds-on favourite and defending champion, Fame and Glory.
On March 31, 2012 he comfortably won the $10 million Dubai World Cup, riding 20-1 outsider Monterosso from the Godolphin stable. It was Godolphin's first Dubai World Cup win since 2006.
He won his second English classic aboard Encke in the 2012 St Leger.
