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 2025 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 2023/24 season was given to Jim Boyle and Simon Dow, both with 18 winners across the 12 month period. They were closely followed by Michael Atwater with 17 winners. The award was presented at the Epsom Owners and Trainers’ Ball in November 2024.
The 2024/25 award started on the 5th November last year, and these are the current standings as of 8th July 2025.
The presentation for the winning trainer will be made at the Epsom Trainers Association Ball in November. The Sir David Prosser Trophy championship for 2025 runs from 5th November 2024 to 4th November 2025.
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.

Veteran SPANISH STAR took advantage of a much-reduced mark in ready fashion at Newbury 16 days ago and 3lb rise in the weights doesn’t look enough to prevent the follow up on that evidence. Shiplake still showed signs of inexperience when second on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton recently and remains open to improvement, with hat-trick seeker Kisskodi also feared.

PLAY SMARTER
James Fanshawe’s INQUISITION comes here on the up and a 6lb penalty for her most recent victory at Yarmouth doesn’t look sufficient to prevent her from completing a hat-trick. William Haggas’ handicap debutante Pergola could emerge as the main danger ahead of Pure Theory and Gretna Dreams.
