Fastest Oaks Horseracing
Win
The racehorse Intrepidity
achieved a time
of 2 mins, 31.19 seconds
at the Oaks in 1993.
Intrepidity was a three
year old fillie when
she won the world record
for the Oaks in
1993. Her dam and sire
were Sadler's Wells
and Intrepid Lady. It was
the 12th Earl of
Derby who was instrumental
in starting the
Oaks at Epsom in 1779.
Although best remembered
for his love of horse racing,
his favourite
hobby was cock fighting,
which he would often
stage in his drawing room
after dinner, much
to the horror of his wife!
