BETTING EXPLAINED

Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number

Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.

‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.

‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.

Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.

Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

Stewards Note:

THE BITTER MOOSE: Following its run on 21/7/2023 it was reported that the horse was denied a clear run.

Probable S.P’s: 13-8 Guns And Flowers (IRE), 10-3 Mirroring (IRE), 4-1 Battle Charge (FR), 12-1 The Bitter Moose (IRE), 16-1 Midnight Force (GB), 20-1 The Smiling Wolf (GB), 40-1 Mighty Pearl (GB)

GUNS AND FLOWERS relished 7f when just falling short at Chester a fortnight ago and has obvious claims if in similar form off the same mark. There is more to come from Battle Charge and he’s feared most ahead of Mirroring.

Sir David Prosser Trophy

to be awarded to most successful Epsom trainer

The Sir David Prosser Trophy celebrates the achievements of the most successful Epsom-based trainer from the 2023 racing season.

The trophy was named in Sir David Prosser’s honour on his retirement from the non-executive board of Epsom Downs in 2013. Sir David made an enormous contribution to the development of the racecourse over many years and remained a loyal supporter of Epsom Downs and the local training community until his passing in March 2020.

Michael Attwater has the top spot with 15 winners, followed by Simon Dow on 11 and Adam West on 10 winners.

Standings as of 18th August 2023.

The presentation for the winning trainer will be made at the Epsom Trainers Association Ball in November. The Sir David Prosser Trophy championship for 2023 runs from 5th November 2022 to 4th November 2023.

Epsom Downs is home to nearly 180 horses in training. These horses have access to six miles and 250 acres of top quality training surface along the Surrey Downs. We are very proud of the training grounds here on Epsom Downs. Racing is part of our heritage and we want to ensure that we keep the Downs as a prestigious training ground and encourage further business from trainers and owners in the future.

TOKYO DREAMER: Following its run on 25/7/2023 it was reported that the horse ran green inside final furlong.

PLAY SMARTER

NELSON ROSE went close over this C&D before probably doing too much too soon at Catterick, so is worth another chance. Belle Flora and Nina Rapida both offered something to work on first-time up so are feared most.

PLAY SMARTER

COUNT OTTO has bounced back to winning ways on his last 2 starts, scoring at this C&D in July before following up at Windsor 11 days later, and he remains well treated on old form. He is taken to see off the challenge of Granary Queen, who ran as well as ever when headed on the line at Brighton last time. Muscika is also capable of getting involved.
