The first derby I remember was the minstrel Robert sangsters as you say packed of to stud after I think the king George. |

St Amant - 1904 Derby (and 2000 Guineas). There are probably others
1906: five-year-old season - St. Amant returned as a five-year-old but failed to win in four starts. His best effort in four races came when he finished third to Pretty Polly in the Coronation Cup.[29] He also finished third in the Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket on 5 July.[30] |

No not Blakeney. I remembered in the Gold Cup and I thought that might have been as a 5-y-o but it was when he was 4.

I'm sure there are others but I came across Bloomsbury who won the 1839 Derby and DID race in the Gold Cup as a five year old.
