"The Epsom Derby: A Historic Race of Prestige and Excitement" The Princes Second Derby, 1900: Diamond Jubilee first past the post, (1901). Creator: Unknown In the annals of horse racing history, few events hold as much prestige and excitement as the Epsom Derby. Dating back to its inception in 1780, this renowned race has captivated audiences for centuries. One such memorable moment occurred in 1900 when Diamond Jubilee emerged victorious, marking a significant milestone in his career. Diamond Jubilee's triumph was not an isolated incident; it was part of a legacy that continued to grow with each passing year. In 1911, Persimmon added another chapter to this illustrious tale by claiming victory at the Epsom Derby. This win solidified Persimmon's status as one of the greatest racehorses of all time. Another legendary figure associated with the Epsom Derby is Ormonde. From 1883 until his death in 1904, Ormonde dominated the racing scene and left an indelible mark on this prestigious event. His remarkable achievements culminated in a triumphant run at the derby in 1911. As spectators eagerly awaited each race day at Epsom Downs Racecourse, their attention turned towards more than just thrilling finishes on the track. The iconic Epsom Grand Stand stood tall as a symbol of tradition and grandeur—a testament to the enduring allure of this historic event. Beyond its rich racing heritage, art also played a role in immortalizing moments from these races throughout history. Philip William May's captivating artwork titled "Three Card Trick" captured both the energy and intrigue surrounding Epsom Derby festivities during an unspecified year. One particularly notable partnership etched into derby lore is that between Iroquois and jockey Fred Archer—winners of the coveted trophy at St. Leger's race.
