Truly, this word has already taken on a horse racing life of its own.

The word was first coined in honor of the 12th Earl of Derby, Edward Stanley-Smith, who inaugurated the first Epsom Derby in 1780. It became a term for races patterned after the Epsom Derby, and owing to its specialized nature spawned the sub-culture of specialized derby betting – high stakes, higher risks and the highest rewards.

Nowadays, ‘derby’ is used for races restricted to three-year-old horses, like the U.S. and English Triple Crowns. But however the term is used for horse racing, TVG.com will always be a one-stop shop for derby betting and all forms of online horse race betting. Study the odds and reap your rewards with TVG.

The Epsom Derby race itself is named after the 12th Earl of Derby, Edward Smith-Stanley, who inaugurated the first race here in 1780.

Traditionally, the term ‘derby’ is used for races restricted to three-year-old horses. Some prime examples of this are the English and U.S. Triple Crown races. Seeing as how derbies are rather specialized, derby betting can be a bit different from other forms of horseracing wagers. Handicapping derbies can be more difficult than usual, since more accurate information is needed to make a sensible bet.
