  Derby (horse race) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A derby is a type of horse race, named after the Epsom Derby, still run at Epsom racecourse, England, which was in turn named for Edward Smith Stanley, 12th Earl Of Derby, who inaugurated the race in 1780.
Traditionally, the term "derby" is used strictly to refer to races restricted to three-year-olds, as the English and U.S. Triple Crown races all are.
The one notable exception to this rule is the Canadian Pacing Derby, an annual harness race for "aged pacers" four years old and up.
