description Swedish Derby Overview
The Swedish Derby is an annual flat race for three-year-old Thoroughbreds held at Jägersro Racecourse in Malmö, Sweden.

The event is intended for the Scandinavian Thoroughbred racing community, including owners, breeders, trainers, jockeys, and racegoers, and should not be confused with harness-racing events that also use the Derby name in Sweden.
