It was the 134th running of the Derby. The race was won, controversially, by Aboyeur at record 100–1 odds. The winner was ridden by Edwin Piper and trained by Alan Cunliffe. The race is regarded as the world's most famous horse race, but not for the performances of the horses on the track. The race itself was shadowed by the death of suffragette Emily Davison, who was killed when she ran out

The Irish challengers were Law Society who had finished second in the Epsom Derby before winning the Irish Derby, and Princess Pati the winner of the 1984 Irish Oaks. France was represented by the former Australian Horse of the Year
