The Epsom Derby - Epsom Downs Racecourse
Luxury Chauffeur-Driven Transport to the Heart of Britain’s Most Iconic Horse Race
The Epsom Derby, one of the oldest and most renowned flat races in the world, is held at Epsom Downs Racecourse, a gem in the crown of British horse racing. Not only is it a world-renowned sports arena, but it’s also a traditional British day out, situated in the sprawling Surrey Downs, only 15 miles south of London.
Epsom has been the site of racing since the early 17th century; the first race was noted there in 1661. But Epsom’s place in sports history was solidified in 1780 when the Derby was first held. The race, named for the 12th Earl of Derby, Edward Smith-Stanley, gained prominence fast and is today the main event of the Derby Festival, which takes place every year in early June.
The course itself is distinctive: a horseshoe-shaped, demanding, undulating track with a downward sweep and a difficult final furlong. It tests a horse’s balance and endurance just as much as its speed, which results in exciting finishes and moments that will never be forgotten.Legends like Shergar, Galileo, and Sea The Stars have won the Epsom Derby, a Group 1 race for three-year-old colts and fillies that is a part of the English Triple Crown. In addition, one of the most significant races for fillies in the UK is the Oaks Stakes, which is held the day before.
