The Wettest Derby on Record: A Humorous Take on the 1927 Epsom Derby by The Tout The iconic image of "The Wettest Derby on Record" by The Tout, published in 1927, captures the unforgettable scene of the Epsom Derby that year when heavy rain turned the racecourse into a flooded wonderland. The cartoon depicts numerous well-known personalities of the turf, including jockeys, lords, and race enthusiasts, coping with the extreme weather conditions. Among the figures in the print, M. Bearey, the jockey, is shown rowing a horse through the water, while Lord Londonderry, Lord Durham, Lord Glaneley, H. Beasley, C. Smirke, Frank Curzon, Mr A.K. Macomber, Lord Queenborough, Jack Joel, Lord Astor, E.C. Elliott, Sir Abe Bailey, Sol (Solly) Joel, Steve Donoghue, Reg Day, the Aga Khan, Tommy Weston, Lord Carnarvon, Sir Walter Gilbey, Brownie Carslake, Joe Childs, Lord Woolavington, Lord Derby, Jack Hampton, and Lord Lonsdale are all seen battling the elements with umbrellas and rowing boats. The humorous cartoon captures the spirit of the day, with the grandstand underwater, spectators afloat, and horses and riders coping with the unusual conditions. The event, which became known as the "Wettest Derby on Record," is a testament to the enduring love for horse racing and the determination of its enthusiasts, even in the face of adversity.
