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 15th July
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.

This is wide open so at the likely odds it is worth siding with Roger Varian’s SUZUKA to belatedly confirm earlier promise from a lenient-looking mark and open his account. Recent Lingfield scorerApple’s Angel heads the list of dangers, although Jersey Maverick, Apple Of My Eye and Play Me can all have a say too. Callout completes the shortlist.
