The Epsom Derby of 1968 was run in May instead of June due to scheduling changes made by the race organizers. The decision was influenced by a desire to avoid clashing with the World Cup, which was taking place in June of that year. Consequently, the race was moved to May 25, ensuring that it maintained its prominence and could attract a significant audience without competing for attention during the global sporting event.
