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 2026 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 current standings can be seen below and are correct as of 29th June.

The presentation for the winning trainer will be made at the Epsom Trainers Association Ball in November. The Sir David Prosser Trophy championship for 2026 runs from 5th November 2025 to 4th November 2026.

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.

For more information on the trainers and training facilities at Epsom Downs please visit: www.jockeyclubestates.co.uk/epsom

PLAY SMARTER

HELLO COTAI built on the promise of his stable debut effort at the second attempt when scoring at Windsor last time and he is fancied to land the opener here. The hat-trick seeking Imperial Cult commands respect, though, along with another last-time-out winner in Oj Lifestyle.

DREAM COMPOSER has made an excellent start for Tony Carroll, battling well for his recent success at Windsor, and he remains well treated on old form. He looks capable of defying a penalty at the expense of the 3-y-os in the line-up, Amazing Journey feared most ahead of Goldwork.

ALMA LATINA took a step foward when getting off the mark at Pontefract on her third start and, with further improvement to come upped in trip, she looks to hold strong claims on handicap debut.The biggestthreat could come from Central Command, winner of 3 handicaps already this season, with Sir William completing the shortlist.
