What is Derby (horse race)?
'''Derby''' is a type of race for [[horse]]s. The race is named after Edward Smith-Stanley, 12th Earl of Derby. A Derby only allows a certain age of horse to race. Most Derbies in the United States and the [[United Kingdom]] require the horse be three years old to race. So if the horse misses the [[Kentucky Derby]] when he is three, he will not get another chance to race in it. Derbies in other countries sometimes require the horse to be four years old. == Famous derbies == *Epsom Derby *Kentucky Derby [[Category:Horse racing]] {{sport-stub}}
