| In 1779, two gentlemen conceived the idea of a race to establish which horse was the best of its generation.

History of the Vodafone Derby 3l5g3w |
| Edward Smith Stanley, the 12th Earl of Derby, organised a race for himself and his friends to race their three-year-old fillies over one and a half miles. He named it the Oaks after his estate. The race became so successful that the following year a new race was added for colts and fillies. | |

Derby Result 2004 3515e |
KIEREN FALLON rode a masterful race on North Light to take this year's Vodafone Derby for Sir Michael Stoute, the pair having been successful last year with Kris Kin. The champion jockey had his mount in the front two throughout the race as he took a lead from Meath and Fallon pushed the Danehill colt into the clear as the field turned into the straight. |
