The Derby is one of five classics that are the cornerstones of Flat racing in England, and is the second leg of the English Triple Crown, preceded by the 2,000 Guineas and followed by the St Leger. It has had a long and remarkable history, having first been run in 1780 and is flat racing's equivalent to the Aintree Grand National.

The Group 1 race is open to three-year-old thoroughbred colts and fillies and is run at Epsom Downs over a distance of 1 mile, 4 furlongs and 10 yards (2,423 metres). Witnessed by around 120,000 spectators at the racecourse and on the overlooking Epsom Downs hill, plus a tv audience of millions worldwide, it is the flat race that every owner, trainer and jockey want to win.
