The Danish Derby is the biggest race in Danish thoroughbred racing and has been run at Klampenborg Galopbane over 2,400 metres every year since 1910 – fittingly, the very first winner was named Klampenborg.
Here you will find every Derby winner through more than 115 editions, complete with colour and pedigree, and the list has been kept unbroken through both world wars.
If you want to know who won the Danish Derby in, say, 1973, simply type the year into the search box above the table – and the answer (Tomca) appears in a second.
Click the column headings to sort the list, for example by winner or sire.
