Newspaper clipping about Larkspur winning Epsom Derby horse race, with headline 'HOW LARKSPUR TO CLINCH IT'

A vintage newspaper article reporting on Larkspur's victory in the Epsom Derby horse race, written by Tom Nickalls. The clipping discusses the dramatic race where multiple horses fell, allowing trainer Vincent O'Brien's horse to win 'very comfortably.' This appears to be from the Sir Freddie Laker Archive's press clippings collection, likely reflecting Laker's interest in horse racing alongside his aviation ventures.
