In the Earl of Derby's box sat King George and Queen Elizabeth, who had the good fortune to bet a pound note on the winner. Feature of the race, which only seven of the 33 starters contrived to finish, was the outrageous behavior of a horse named Drim. Drim unseated his rider, ran on without him, caught up with the leaders, tried...
