Watts had moved Merry Hampton forward into third, just ahead of The Baron on the turn for home and made his challenge as the leaders began to tire. He took the lead two furlongs out, quickly went clear and was never in danger of defeat, winning by an official margin four lengths (some observers thought it was more like seven) from The Baron with Martley two lengths further back in third. Although the winning time of 2:43 equaled the race record, it was widely agreed that the 1887 Derby had been a sub-standard one. For reasons he chose not to explain, Baird, who reportedly won ÂŁ40,000 in bets on the race, refused to lead the horse in.

By 1886, Baird’s relationship with his trainer, Martin Gurry, had broken down, and so the colt was sent into training with William Stevens in
