Skyscraper was indeed an Epsom derby winner in 1789. Named in 1786 according to my reference book is the first use of the word skyscraper.
There is as a couple of people mentioned a nautical term from slightly earlier but i believe this was sky scraper as two words and refers to the masts on tall ships.
QI states the first skyscraper was the Derby winner so i will stick with their answer.
Over to you Thumper. Is your name from the Disney character or are you a bit handy in your spare time ?
