Epsom Downs Racecourse

Racing fans have been flocking to Epsom for over 250 years to watch what many believe to be the ultimate test in flat racing. June’s Derby Meeting, which is held over two days, is the highlight of their calendar.

The track

Epsom is a ‘U’ shaped, left-handed course which has plenty of undulations and a tough final furlong. Its five-furlong course is the fastest in the world due to it being downhill for most of the race.
