👉 Any of several annual horse races.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve got the dictionary in your hand, that’s wonderful, you see, It tells us "derby" means a race for horses, fancy and free! But it's more than just a simple run, a thrilling, speedy chase, A “derby” is a tradition , with elegance and grace. Think of the Kentucky Derby, so grand and bright, With silks and roses, bathed in sunshine light! It’s often used for other events too, you know, Like cricket matches – a "county derby" will flow! So remember this, my dears, it's not just any race, But a special, historic event with a particular pace. Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about what we’ve discussed today?
