Ryan Moore never really got into it on red-hot favourite Delacroix and finished ninth, beaten 16 lengths.
And, for once, the world's best jockey had to play second best to Lordan - who he beat into second in the Oaks on Friday.
There was a huge result for syndicate Middleham Park as their 50-1 Lazy Griff, trained by Charlie Johnston, came second.
While Aidan's son Joseph was third with 28-1 Tennessee Stud.
Juddmonte had the fourth home with 50-1 New Ground.
O'Brien said: "Wayne gave him an incredible ride - he is a great fella and has done so much hard work throughout the years.
"The horse is very straightforward and Wayne knew he would stay.
"I'm delighted for Wayne and couldn't be happier.
"The lads put in everything and I am just delighted to be on their coat tails!"

‘F***, I'm sorry' – Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula miss out on $1m US Open jackpot after astonishing tie-break collapse
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JACK DRAPER and Jessica Pegula missed out on a shot at the $1million jackpot after narrowly losing in the US Open mixed doubles semi-finals. The British-American duo teamed up late on for the event, after Draper's previous partners Zheng Qinwen and Paula Badosa were both forced to withdraw due to injury. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula were gutted to lose Credit: Getty 3 Draper and Pegula were a last minute team after the Brit's previous partners pulled out Credit: Getty Draper and Pegula stormed through the first two rounds of the controversially revamped event - sweeping past Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu, then Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva. Things started brightly last night, as they grabbed the first set 5-3 against Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud. Swiatek and Ruud came roaring back, however, winning the second set 5-3 to set up a dramatic match tiebreak to 10. Draper and Pegula raced to an 8-4 lead, with the former playing brilliantly and the latter an extremely accomplished doubles player. READ MORE ON JACK DRAPER NO LOVE LOST Fans say Raducanu and Draper have 'ex vibes' after frosty moment near Alcaraz But incredibly their lead soon evaporated, with the scratch pair losing six points in a row to crash out of the tournament. On match point Pegula opted to volley a Swiatek forehand, setting up an easy winner for the Pole when Draper may have had a more presentable shot had she left the ball. As Pegula and Draper sat down following the epic match, both looked extremely dejected. Pegula appeared to tell her partner: "F***, I'm sorry." BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Draper, 23, did not allow Pegula to blame herself, and instead seemed to try and gee her up - having admitted that he had barely spoken to her prior to this week. The Brit had previously been chided by his partner for describing the tournament as an "exhibition" - with the USTA having been at pains to stress that it remains a proper Grand Slam event. Jack Draper told off by partner after comment following US Open win over Raducanu and Alcaraz Following defeat, Draper clarified: "I think yesterday there was times where it felt a little bit more that way from our opponents. "Whereas tonight we were in the changing rooms, you're seeing Iga and Casper, they're fully dialled in. It was intense. We both wanted to win." Pegula then weighed in: "You can't go out there at 7pm on Ashe knowing you could play the final, and feel like you're just out there." Draper was returning to action for the first time since losing in round two of Wimbledon, having since battled injury. 'I LOVED IT' Addressing Pegula after the match, the British No1 said: "I enjoyed the competition. I loved it, playing alongside Jessica. I wasn't expecting probably to have as good of a time as I did. "Honestly, I thought we played great. Tonight was a tough match. They were on good form. But just overall a really positive experience. Loved playing with you. Hope to do it again." Swiatek and Ruud went on to face defending champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori in the final. Errani and Vavassori went into the showpiece fully pumped up, having been the only specialist doubles team admitted into the tournament. The Italians went on to triumph 6-3 5-7 10-6 - successfully defending their crown in front of a full house on Arthur Ashe Stadium. After the final, 38-year-old Errani pointedly said: "I think this one is also for all the doubles players that couldn't play this tournament. I think this one is also for them." While Vavassori added: "It was an amazing atmosphere, so I have to say thanks to the organisation, to [tournament director] Stacey [Allaster], to Eric [Butorac] also for giving us the opportunity to play. "I have to say that we showed today that doubles is a great product… "I think it was amazing to play on this court with so many people and I have to say thanks from the bottom of my heart for the atmosphere."

US Open star, 30, reveals she charges men $1000 to DATE her just months after starting ‘spicy' OnlyFans
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TENNIS star Sachia Vickery has revealed that she charges men $1,000 to go on a date with her. Vickery, 30, is attempting to qualify for the US Open.

Vickery has now revealed that she requires a payment to date, having grown tired of men wasting her time. The American wrote on Instagram this week: "I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men I now require a pre-date deposit send me 1,000 and we can make it happen my cashapp is $Sachiavick." Prior to US Open qualifying this week, Vickery had not played since February due to injury. In that time, her OnlyFans account, which she describes as containing "the content too spicy for Instagram", has gone from strength to strength. On her endeavour, Vickery added on Instagram: 'I'm very open-minded and I don't care what people think of me … it's also the easiest money I've ever made and I enjoy doing it. "I will never talk s*** about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life. "Because the amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really." 7 Vickery has admitted that she charges men to go on dates with her Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick 7 The tennis ace has opened up on her lucrative side hustle Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick 7 Vickery has gone form strength to strength on OnlyFans Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick Vickery is not the only tennis player on OnlyFans. Nick Kyrgios partnered up with the content site in 2023, while self proclaimed "sexiest professional tennis player" Alexandre Muller has an account and has even worn the OnlyFans logo on his kit. Brit tennis star lets off blood curdling screech at US Open Arina Rodionova launched an account in January after splitting with her husband. Speaking on Black Spin Global, Vickery said: "I've always pushed boundaries. I've always been outspoken about racial hate I get online, bodyshaming. I'm very open about a lot of stuff. "I'm still playing tennis, my career is still going but I also want to do things outside of tennis. I'm starting to explore more opportunities on social media. "Obviously there are levels to OnlyFans, you have athletes like Nick [Kyrgios] and Alex [Muller] who are going to be posting tennis content for the most part and then you have the other complete extreme, which I'm not. I'm in that middle gap. 'NEGATIVE FEEDBACK' "I set it up in January and it just took off. Being a tennis player definitely helped my marketing. I'm at a stage where I don't do the absolute most on there but I'm comfortable as I need to be. I'm doing really well. "Obviously, I'm going to get some negative feedback but that's just normal. Whatever you do in life there's always going to be some criticism. If I was doing nothing I'd be getting criticism, so I might as well get on the platform and make money while I'm at it." Vickery, who peaked at world No73 in 2018, is now down at No559 due to her injury lay-off. The Florida-born star entered US Open qualifying using a protected ranking and returned to action following six months out by beating Anastasiya Soboleva on Tuesday. Vickery will be back in action later today as she faces No19 seed in qualifying Ella Seidel in round two. Should she beat Seidel, Vickery will take on either Zhang Shuai or Darja Vidmanova for a place in the US Open main draw.
