CommentsErected by Lord Rosebury in the walls of his Lordship’s ground. Inscription “Cicero”. The trough was erected as a memorial to Cicero, the Epsom Derby winner of 1905. He was ridden to victory by the American jockey Daniel Maher, having been the pre-race favourite at odds of 11–4. Cicero’s owner was Lord Rosebery, who also won the Derby with two other horses. Lord Rosebery died at The Durdans, his home near the racecourse, on May 21, 1929. The trough originally stood at The Durdans, but in 2005 it was renovated and moved to the Rubbing House pub next to the racecourse.
