I've got the Epsom results on screen for 1994 from the Sporting Life website - FREE
The 3 handicaps on the Friday from the Derby meeting were: Night Vision Handicap over 5 furlongs Northern Dancer Rated Stakes (Handicap) over 12 furlongs Energizer Great Surrey Handicap over 10 furlongs |

great work taxi. looks like you could settle a few arguments about old races.... is 1994 the furthest it goes back in time?

By:
I think the main race on the Friday was the Diomed Stakes
|
|
By:
The earliest Epsom meeting in the archives for the SL site is the Derby meeting of 1993.
The Diomed Stakes was the 2nd race on the card, the Derby was the 3rd race. The next two days racing were on the 3rd and the 5th (Oaks Day). There are no results for the 4th. |

great work taxi. looks like you could settle a few arguments about old races.... is 1994 the furthest it goes back in time? Easy enough to find on the Sporting Life website. Select 'racing' Then go down the left hand side until you see 'Results Search' click on that Enter a few letters of the course you want, and courses will come up under the search box, you MUST click on one, or the box will go blank when you try to select a date. The 4 date choices are last 7 days month year since 1994 or if you know the dates you want, click on 'Specify' and two date boxes will come up. |
