The Jockey Club would like to thank our Group Partners for their support in 2024
WELCOME TO
Welcome to Epsom Downs for our third and final summer music night this year. This evening’s summer racing is followed by Massaoke who return after a successful launch last year. It promises to be a warm evening and we are delighted to have you with us as we continue our summer in the sun on the Downs.
We have a fantastic evening in store for you, with six races continuing an exciting summer of racing here at Epsom Downs We’re very grateful to Michael from Miles Commercial for organising the day in aid of The Truants Foundation, and the EBF for their support of tonight’s card
The Truants Foundation exist for the relief of people who are in need as a result of ill health, poverty or financial hardship. They believe in the preservation of life, promotion of the good health and welfare of people in any part of the world. They have raised over £5 million for charitable causes and will be raising money tonight for this great cause!
After racing on Hyperion Lawn we welcome Massaoke back to Epsom Downs, a brilliant live band playing hairbrush anthems from across the decades –accompanied by giant video lyrics – and everyone sings together! It promises to be a fantastic night!
I hope you have a fabulous evening and please do not hesitate to talk to any of our staff if you have any questions

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 2024 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.
The award for the 2022/23 season was given to Adam West, with 20 winners across the 12 month period. He was closely followed in second by Michael Attwater, with 18 wins and in third was Simon Dow with 17 winners. The award was presented at the Epsom Owners & Trainers’ Ball in November 2023.
The 2023/24 award started on the 5th November last year, and current standings as of 31st July are:
The presentation for the winning trainer will be made at the Epsom Trainers Association Ball in November. The Sir David Prosser Trophy championship for 2024 runs from 5th November 2023 to 4th November 2024.
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.

SIR GARFIELD has taken his form up a notch since going into handicaps and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of his close Redcar second last time out. Roger Varian’s Moakaad looks to have better days ahead of him and is feared most, with C&D scorer Land of Magic also in the mix.

ALPINE GIRLhas proved as good as everwhen winning her last 2 starts, value for extra having come from last when successful at Salisbury 19 days ago, so she looks to hold leading claims as she bids for the hat-trick. Macanudo has returned to form of late and is feared most back down in grade, ahead of the consistent Enderman.

RACEHORSE & JOCKEY WELFARE
The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to
British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority. The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation. The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards. In addition Epsom Downs Racecourse employs three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team Qualified paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.
