History of the Epsom Downs
The first recorded race was held on the Downs in 1661,[3] although a local burial list of 1625 refers to "William Stanley who in running the race fell from his horse and brake his neck" and in some sources racing is recorded as dating from the 1640s,[4] so it is likely that racing was established much earlier than that.[5] Epsom is referenced in the diary of Samuel Pepys in 1663 and Charles II is said to have been a racegoer there.[5] By 1684, Epsom had a clerk of the course and from 1730 was hosting twice yearly race meetings.[5]

At Epsom on 3 May 1769 the famous racehorse Eclipse had the first of his many victories in an undefeated career on the turf.

LATEST CLASSIC CONFIRMATIONS
Atzeni expects more from 'surprising' Third Realm as Bolshoi Ballet hardens.


More of the same? Andrea Atzeni and Defoe conquered Epsom in the 2019 Coronation Cup and the Italian-born jockey will be hoping for a repeat aboard Third Realm in Saturday's Cazoo Derby
Edward Whitaker
......................
Andrea Atzeni admits his Cazoo Derby mount Third Realm continues to surprise him and is hoping that is again the case at Epsom on Saturday, when he will be among the leading home-trained runners taking on the might of Aidan O’Brien and Jim Bolger.

The Lingfield Derby Trial winner was among 19 to stand their ground on Monday for the Classic, with Bolshoi Ballet hardening in some places as favourite.

The 15-8 and 7-4 available on Monday morning about Bolshoi Ballet gave way to a general 13-8 but, while many of his major market rivals were easy to back, Third Realm was steady at 12-1 with most layers to provide Atzeni with a first Derby triumph.

......................................

Atzeni is retained by Third Realm’s owner/breeder Sheikh Mohammed Obaid, but missed the ride at Lingfield in order carry the same colours aboard Without A Fight at Ascot.

Atzeni said on Monday: "He won at Nottingham and I had the choice to ride him at Lingfield, but he doesn't show a lot at home, which isn't a bad thing, and he won the trial quite nicely anyway.

"It looks like he'll improve for that run and he's won on fast ground and that trial on soft ground, so he's fairly versatile, although I'd prefer a bit of rain. It doesn't matter if we don't get it,

David Egan was aboard Third Realm in the Lingfield Derby Trial but retained rider Andrea Atzeni takes over at Epsom

Strong pace in Derby will suit classy High Definition, says Aidan O'Brien


High Definition: leading contender for the Cazoo Derby
Caroline Norris (racingpost.com/photos)

Aidan O'Brien, the master trainer responsible for the top two in the Cazoo Derby market and seeking a record-extending ninth win in the race, expects the strong pace at Epsom on Saturday to bring out the best in High Definition, the stable's apparent second string.

Bolshoi Ballet heads the Derby betting and goes into the race as O'Brien's number-one contender, but the trainer believes there have been valid reasons for High Definition hitting flat spots in his races, adding that the Dante third has "a load of class".

Bolshoi Ballet to be sole Ballydoyle runner in Derby as Dettori gets Leeper ride

Bolshoi Ballet: hot favourite for the Cazoo Derby..
...............................................................................
Aidan O'Brien has revealed a major shift in plans for Saturday's Cazoo Derby on the eve of the Classic's declaration stage, with Bolshoi Ballet likely to be his only runner among six possible candidates he had left in the race.

Dante third High Definition, who had been the long-range Derby favourite over the winter before his stablemate surged to the head of the market with impressive victories at Leopardstown this season, appears likely to wait for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby.

Frankie Dettori would likely have been aboard High Definition and his absence allows the 50-year-old to partner John Leeper

Aidan O'Brien on High Definition: "A little extra time definitely won't do him any harm"

Dettori switches to John Leeper

One man not disappointed by High Definition's defection was Ed Dunlop, who trains John Leeper for owner-breeder Cristina Patino.

Adam Kirby had been booked, but only because Dettori was likely to be engaged on an O'Brien horse

Wolfie's Tip

Third Realm..: Currently 10/1
Jockey; Andrea Atzeni
Trainer;: Roger Varian


Third Realm is clear in the Lingfield Derby Trial

Won a Nottingham maiden on his return in April, and took a big step forward when landing the Lingfield Derby Trial last time, impressing with how well he handled the downhill run into the straight. That augurs well for his chances of handling Tattenham Corner, and while it was soft and Lingfield, the going was quick for his maiden win. Shortlisted.

COMMENTS
Adayar Has scope but improvement is needed and a more conventional track may suit better
Bolshoi Ballet Made very good impression with recent Group 3 win; looks sure to stay 1m4f; fine prospect
Gear Up Group 1 winner at two (1m2f, heavy); just a respectable reappearance 5th in the Dante
Hurricane Lane Showed fighting spirit to win at Newbury and the Dante; bred to stay well; solid claims
John Leeper Progressive in minor company; should be suited by 1m4f; complex task early in career
Mac Swiney Two Group 1 wins on testing ground; not dismissed on quick going; major potential at 1m4f
Mohaafeth Big step up in class over new trip but visually exciting when winning 1m2f Listed latest
Mojo Star Promising in defeat in novice/maiden company but a mighty leap forward is needed
One Ruler Group 3 winner; chased home Mac Swiney on final 2yo run; query about 1m4f on drying ground
Southern Lights Maiden winner on reappearance; no inroads on Bolshoi Ballet in Group 3 over 1m2f since
Third Realm Convincing winner of Lingfield Derby Trial; a handy type who can improve further
Youth Spirit Nothing flash in earlier runs but pleasing win upped to 1m4f in Chester Vase; has a squeak
