The Winner of the Derby: Lord Rosebery's Sir Visto, 1895. Creator: Clarence Hailey.

Légende

The London Season: in Hyde Park - waiting for the Shahzada, 1895. 'The Prime Minister has won his second Derby consecutively, and thus placed his name on the roll of the race in unique prominence. In the sight of a crowd, which was all the vaster because of the uncertainty of the event and the certainty of the weather, Lord Rosebery's Sir Visto passed the winning-post, ridden to victory by S. Loates. The horse's record had not been very brilliant. He won the Imperial Stakes at Kempton as a two-year-old, but came in third for the Two Thousand Guineas, and third for the Newmarket Stakes. But, in the hackneyed phrase, Sir Visto has retrieved his past by winning the Blue Riband of the Turf. His accomplishments in the future at Doncaster will probably be watched with still keener interest. Lord Rosebery was heartily congratulated on the achievement of his horse, who is, however, not so beautiful an animal as Ladas, the winner of last year's Derby'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
