... that the first Derby Stakes to be officially timed took place in 1846, with Pyrrhus The First (pictured) completing the one-and-a-half-mile course in 2:55.0?

(alt.hook)... that Pyrrhus The First (pictured) winning the 1846 Derby Stakes inspired a poem in the literary magazine Bentley's Miscellany?
