Frederick (horse)

[edit]

Frederick, winner of the 1829 Epsom Derby. Painting by John Frederick Herring Sr. (1795-1865).

  • ... that the oldest jockey to win the Derby Stakes was John Forth, who rode Frederick (pictured) to victory in 1829?
  • Comment: Sorry, I am nominating this article late by 1 day. May I invoke the Swahili rule, please? Thanks in advance. --PFHLai (talk) 21:14, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
