Getting on a bit. Huge horse racing fan. Prefer flat but have massive respect for the NH game. The Derby Stakes is my passion. Went to my first Derby in 1970 and have been to everyone since. Co-founded The Derbywalk in 2009. Still going strong!
Wonderful to hear that Epsom Downs Racecourse and The JockeyClub have elected to run 2025 Derby Stakes in memory of the Late Aga Khan IV. Richly deserved! Great Minds. The 2025 Derbywalk

4 days until the 2025 Derbywalk. Fundraise for your favourite charity or cause. Knightsbridge to Epsom Downs Racecourse. A £5 or £10 donation to Epsom RDA for every registration. Plus, a BBQ/drinks reception, overlooking the iconic winners enclosure for all walkers.

This day (May 4th) in 2009 we held the inaugural #Derbywalk. Ran to coincide with the first ever running of #TheDerbyStakes we set off at 08:00 from Knightsbridge to Epsom Downs Racecourse. 16 years later, the 16th Derbywalk takes place on Sunday 18th May, over the same course and distance.

Saw one of these today at East Croydon stn. Looked a really happy little fella and very chirpy. Beautiful colouring. Pied Wagtail I believe.
