Trial Races For The Epsom Derby

The trial races for the Epsom Derby are races used as a prep race and stepping stone to the Derby.

In the 21st century, every Epsom Derby winner has had at least one run that season before Derby victory in June (July in 2020).

15 of those successful at Epsom were winners of their trial race immediately before the Epsom Derby. 

Historically, the strongest Derby trial races in the 21st century have been the 2000 Guineas which has been contested by 6 subsequent Derby winners. The Dante Stakes at York, which has produced 5 Derby winners and the Ballysax stakes which has been contested by 4 horses who subsequently went on to Epsom glory.

Running prominently in the 2000 Guineas, one of the key trial races is a positive. Particularly for horses who are bred to stay further and the 12 furlong trip of the Epsom Derby.
