SOTB Classic - Epsom Derby 1991 [07:08]
"Generous strides to Derby glory" One of the most popular and significant Derby winners in recent history was the Paul Cole trained Generous, ridden by Alan Munro. Watch how Generous clinched the 1991 Epsom Derby with remarkable ease. Twenty years on from Derby '91, the race would also be significant from a broadcasting perspective too. It is thought that this is the last horse race ever transmitted by ITV. ITV had a huge pedigree in sport, and they had nearly all the major racing contracts during the 70's and 80's. But they fell out of love with the sport since the demise of the network's flagship sports programme World of Sport. All ITV racing coverage had been passed on to Channel 4 by the 1990's. The Derby had to be simulcast on ITV and Channel 4 by law, as the race was (and still is) a listed sporting event that has to be shown on a channel with more than 95% coverage, and Channel 4 did not fit this criteria at the time. The 1991 Derby was given just a 15 minute slot on ITV, with the introductions by Nick Owen, and race coverage provided by Channel 4 Racing. Channel 4 would then show exclusive coverage of the Epsom Derby for 10 more years, until 2001, when the BBC won the rights back to show the race.

The start of the race. Rounding Tattenham Corner. The straight and run in with waiting crowds, quite a close finish.
