Description
At the south end of the ride leading south from The Durdans in Epsom, there are three horses' tombs. These tombs consist of three stone slabs that are surrounded by ornamental iron railings. Each slab is incised with the names of the horses: Ladas (1891-1914), a Derby winner; Sir Visto (1892-1914), a winner of both the Derby and St Leger; and Cicero (1902-1922), also a Derby winner. All three horses belonged to Lord Rosebery.
