This day (May 4th) 1780 was the start of it. Over 1 mile @EpsomRacecourse, 9 horses went to post for the inaugural running of #TheDerbyStakes. Won by #Diomed, owned by #SirCharlesBunbury, who, but for the toss of a coin, could've had the great race named after him. 140+ races & events followed suit!
