DID YOU KNOW? Epsom Downs’ catering team will use the following over the two days of this year’s Cazoo Derby: 1,400 pints of milk, 1,000 punnets of strawberries, 3,000 scones and 60kg of clotted cream!
1947 Older than the Derby by a year, the Oaks was the brainchild of Johnny Burgoyne, a soldier, playwright and politician who married into Lord Derby’s family. Burgoyne had passed on the lease for his Surrey mansion, the Oaks, to his nephew, the 12th Earl of Derby, and persuaded the nobleman to create a race over a mile and a half for three-year-old fillies in response to the St Leger, which had been founded at Doncaster as a two-mile contest for colts of the same age in 1776. The first Oaks, named after the nearby house, took place in 1779. The winner was Lord Derby’s Bridget.
