Epsom Derby
The Derby at Epsom is special in many ways. Naturally, it is part of the Classics Series, which makes it interesting for anyone infatuated with traditional Flat racing. The Epsom Derby can be watched for free.

Epsom Oaks
The Oaks was introduced a year before the Derby, and was named after the Earl's estate of the same title. In much the same way as Charles Bunbury, Lord Derby's horse, Bridget, won the inaugural event, yet it would be the only time he would claim such a victory. The race is open to three-year-old fillies, and it is considered the third of the five Classic British races.
