The Derby was always run on a Wednesday up until just a few years ago.

The Epsom Derby was last run on a Wednesday in 1994 almost 30 years ago.

Time flies doesn’t it? :(

I've owned a couple of racehorses back in the day, and the Derby was the highlight of the racing calendar.
I really didn't realise that it changed days so many years ago.

Because premier league players don’t like playing football. The championship was also pushed back because of the World Cup. We played 8 more games, but still finished at the usual time.

There's been one later than this, and quite recently too.

Latest in my lifetime, I think, was the 1963 final between Leicester and Man Utd. on the 25th May due mainly to the 'big freeze' of 1963.

That was because of the pandemic - that wasn't the scheduled date

Although we started a week early and then had all those midweek games
