The 2010 New Zealand Derby was a horse race which took place at Ellerslie Racecourse on Saturday 6 March 2010. It was the 135th running of the New Zealand Derby, and it was won by Military Move. The race was one of the most highly anticipated runnings of the New Zealand Derby in years, with a dual Group 1-winning colt seeking to win the VRC Derby-New Zealand Derby double and two high-class fillies entered to take on the males in an attempt to secure a rare win for a filly in New Zealand's most prestigious three-year-old race. The favourite was Zarzuela, a daughter of Zabeel who in an impressive Derby campaign won the Great Northern Guineas, Waikato Guineas and Championship Stakes. The other top filly in the race was Katie Lee, a winner of six stakes races who in November made history by becoming the first horse to win both the New Zealand 2000 Guineas and New Zealand 1000 Guineas. Many doubted her ability to stay the 2400m of the race and perhaps that factor, combined with a gruelling 10-race campaign exclusively at stakes level and the slightly shifty track conditions of the Derby, was her undoing. Of the male horses, the most talked about was the VRC Derby winner, Monaco Consul. The son of High Chaparral was seeking to become the first horse ever to win the VRC-New Zealand Derby double. He extinguished his chances by running out badly at the last turn. Corporal Jones was also considered a prominent contender, having finished first or second in all five of his previous career starts. Following a close finish between Corporal Jones and Zarzuela in the Championship Stakes, pre-race commentary anticipated another close contest between he two horses in the Derby. But in the excitement of the head-bobbing finish between those two horses in the Championship Stakes, many overlooked the strong run from well back in the field by New Zealand 2000 Guineas runner-up Military Move, who went out on Derby Day at 15–1. It was Military Move who took the honours, though, handling the 2400m of the Derby and aided by a ride from Michael Walker. Walker, who in May 2008 was nearly killed when he fell 10m down a bank while on a pig hunting trip, celebrated the win. It was his first Group 1 win since his accident, and a race he later said he had always dreamt of winning.
