The Epsom Derby is the number one flat race of the season and is the fourth classic event held in the UK following on from the 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas and the Oaks. There is always a very active Epsom Derby anti post betting market as the three year olds can make vast improvements up to the big day in June so watching this market is always a good idea.
The best trial leading up to the Epsom Derby and highlights the best Epsom Derby form is the winner of the 2,000 Guineas and as such should get the utmost respect. It is also worthwhile looking at previous Epsom Derby results to get an insight into the connections which have the best record.
The Epsom Derby was first run in 1780 and it has thrown up many greats including Shergar, Mill Reef and of course Lester Piggott.
