  1. Venue Epsom

    Winner Ocean Swell

    Trainer: Jack Jarvis

    Jockey: Billy Nevett

    Owner: 6th Earl of Rosebery

    I don't know the exact date, but until fairly recently the race was run on the first Wednesday in June.

    The race was only moved to Newmarket for 1915 - 1918.


  2. Epsom..winner-OCEAN SWELL

  3. Ocean Swell won the Derby Stakes in 1944.  During the war years of 1915-1918 and 1940-1945, the Derby and Oaks were run at Newmarket rather than over the course at Epsom.  Saturday June 17th.  

    The day some V1 or V2 bombs hit nearby.
