Epsom Derby Race Information
Named in honour of the party host, 12th Earl of Derby, the race was first run at Epsom Downs racecourse in 1780. The Derby is only open to three-year-old colts and fillies. Geldings cannot run in the Derby. Fillies can take on the colts, but they're more likely to run in the Epsom Oaks, which is the filly's version of the Derby.
The Derby idea inspired the likes of the Kentucky Derby, the Irish Derby and the French Derby, known as the Prix du Jockey Club.
In the latter half of the 20th century, Derby Day became more and more popular with the working class. The Derby was then moved to a Saturday, in order to appeal to it's new demographic.
