King's Top Tips
Camber, cambered bends and a downhill charge to Tattenham Corner make Epsom a unique balance test that not every good horse handles. Our rated Epsom selections publish on the morning of each card with written reasoning and the best price. 18+ BeGambleAware.
Epsom Downs is a Flat course. It is left-handed and undulating, with a horseshoe shape, the famous Tattenham Corner and a home straight that slopes towards the inside rail.
Epsom is home to the Derby and the Oaks, two of Britain's five Classics, run at the Derby Festival in early June.
Racing runs from April to September, with the Derby Festival in early June.
The undulations and camber mean that balanced horses who handle the track do best. Horses with course form or a good racing position early tend to do well. The Derby often goes to a horse with strong trial form, so check the key trials from the spring. 18+ BeGambleAware.org.
The Derby is run at Epsom on the first Saturday in June, with the Oaks on the Friday.
Tattenham Corner is the sharp left-hand bend leading into Epsom's home straight.
