Epsom Derby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Derby Day" redirects here. For the racing day during the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival, see Victoria Derby.

The Derby Stakes, known colloquially as The Derby (pronounced "dar-bee" in SA/"der-bee" in countries using American English pronunciation) and internationally as the Epsom Derby, is considered one of the most prestigious flat thoroughbred horse races in the world. The race takes place each year in June at Epsom Downs, Epsom, Surrey, England. (The race was held at Newmarket from 1915-1918 and called the New Derby Stakes.)

The Derby is one of the five United Kingdom Classic Races and is the second leg of the English Triple Crown, preceded by the 2,000 Guineas and followed by the St Leger.

It is a Group 1 race for three-year-old colts and fillies - colts 9 st (126 lb or 57.2 kg), fillies 8 st 9 lb (121 lb or 54.9 kg). In modern times the race is almost always contested by colts only. Fillies and older horses also run the same course and distance for the Oaks and Coronation Cup respectively.

Many Derby contenders are prepared for the race by running in one or more of the recognised Derby Trials.

Derby winners will often go on to compete for the big international races later in the season, such as the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in France and the Breeders' Cup in the United States.

[edit] Origins

The first recorded race took place in 1661. The Derby, as it is known today, originated at a celebration following the first running of the Epsom Oaks in 1779. Edward Smith-Stanley, 12th Earl of Derby (whose horse Bridget had been victorious in the race) and Sir Charles Bunbury flipped a coin and whoever won the toss was to have the race named after him. [1] Despite losing the toss Sir Charles was to claim victory with his horse Diomed in the inaugural running the following year, collecting prize money of £1,065 15s. The Earl achieved his first success in the race in 1787 with Sir Peter Teazle.

The first four runnings of the race were over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres) but this was amended in 1784 to the current distance of 1 mile 4 furlongs (2,414 metres). As a result of measurement, official distance was changed to 1 mile 4 furlongs and 10 yards (2,423 metres) in 1991.
