Its a pure khazi, nobody would run any kind of racehorse there bar they were forced to at this meeting.
When was the last Derby/Oaks winner ever to run at Epsom before or afterwards?

Plenty have contested the Coronation Stakes. If it was such an awful track, why do many Oaks and Derby winners go on to win the King George, Irish Derby, Arc de Triomph?

Well you'd have to go all the way back to 2013 to Talent, I suppose.

By:
The ones that are no good run in the Coronation Stakes, like Talent for example.

Plenty have contested the Coronation Stakes. If it was such an awful track, why do many Oaks and Derby winners go on to win the King George, Irish Derby, Arc de Triomph? because they are class horses..not because they won the derby at epsom shows they are able to handle a track with such a pronounced camber & because they are athletic enough manage to win DESPITE the track yeah..it's unique but i agree with OP can't do a horse much good to run repeatedly there yeah i know lesser horses have plenty of C&D form but i would be of the persuasion that that is more so because so many others CAN'T handle it |

Let's just be grateful that the Champion hurdle isn't run at Plumpton

which is exactly the point, isn't it? |

By:
Epsom is a dreadful racetrack. I'd rather the Oaks/Derby run at Newbury. A much fairer track. Can't stand the camber, the way it unbalances horses, the way horses are richocheting into each other down the straight, the way horses are forced wide from a high draw, the way they often go a dawdle and stack them up behind leading to bad luck in running… from that pov it's a rubbish track. 'The ultimate test of the Thoroughbred' is a nonsense imho.

I'm thankful for Epsom, Lingfield, Brighton, Goodwood, Salisbury, Chester and all the interesting racecourses.
Americans have to endure standardized pan flat left-turning ovals, with almost all races at sprint distances. |

By:
These are championship races
The form comes together from 2 yo, Newmarket and all the trials You are going to get upsets in these big races Live with it Nobody called for moving the festival from Cheltenham when western warhorse won the arkle That was more of a coupon buster imo Anyway Hasn't been a double figure price winner of the Derby since 98 Stop whining |

Give me Epsom every day rather than Newmarket, which has nothing to recommend it.

By:
I'm entitled to dislike Epsom as a racetrack. It's not whining, it's expressing an opinion.
|
|
By:
No way would I pay any attention to an idiot who thinks the Coronation stakes is run at Epsom .
|
|
By:
cheers Facts

By:
One of the Great racetracks in the world,pay no attenion to that gobshyte Mincer. Those who knock it should get up off their arses and walk it.The truest test of a horse anywhere .

By:
A bag o shyte of a track, haven't bothered watching a race today.
|
|
By:
If you're a serious investor in Flat racing betting markets, Epsom is a track to avoid almost as much as Chester imho. Bookmakers must love it.

By:
chester's ok..glorified dog track but at least it doesnae have quasi dangerous cambers that are no good for joints
|
|
By:
Been run at Epsom since 1780 - part of our national heritage, not that dimwits such as the OP would care much about that
 |
|
By:
true..and a lot of our heritage is being brushed aside by the PC brigade
still doesn't detract from the fact that its quirkiness doesn't do the horse a lot of favours |
|
By:
It allows us on the day to find out who are establishment arse lickers. Anyone coming out with the statement "It is a true test of the racehorse" or "This is what makes British horse racing so great" is clearly on Espom hospitality directly or indirectly
