Epsom is famous for its horse racing history with the Derby having formed the centre of the boroughs social calendar since 1779.
Epsom houses the third largest training facility in the country. Epsom Downs racecourse is situated on Epsom and Walton Downs. The Downs is an area of 600 acres of unspoilt downland where on a clear day you can see a panoramic view of London. Epsom Downs training ground hosts 85 miles of grass and all weather tracks including a five furlong fibre sand gallop, four furlong poly track and a nine furlong Mac Track, as well as schooling fences and hurdles.
Our horses are stabled in the famous Cicero yard of The Durdans Stables which dates back to the 19th century and is named after one of Lord Rosebery’s three Derby winners (see History for more information). The Durdans are situated on a quiet lane used only by local traffic, with access directly onto the Downs.
