Conclusion:
– We will add the three French „Derbys” Criterium des 3 ans (in december), Criterium des 4 ans and Criterium des 5 ans, even they do not have the word „Derby” in their name (there was also a Criterium des 2 ans, but it has been run only 5 years, from 1949 to 1953).
– Contrary to the international tendency, according to which the broodmares should be as young as possible (the run on their first foal is unbroken), one sees the following with the Derby winners: The mother of the Spanish Derby winner was at the time of birth 12 years old, the Austrian, German and Finnish 10 years old, the Slovenian 14 years, the Hungarian 15 years, and the Dutch incredible 20 years old!
– The purse of the Italian Derby was 1.001.000 Euro. Therefore it is the richest trotting race worldwide since the Prix d´Amérique had a purse of 1.000.000 EUR (and the Hambletonian had 1.000.000 USD). Even the purse includes 182.000 EUR breeding premiums, this is a strange fact, after the Italian trotting sport has been in a crisis for many years.
– Only the French sire Prodigious managed to have more than 1 winner. 2 maternal lines have been double successful, Midnight and Ab.
