Epsom Derby, Oaks Highlight British Racing Calendar

The Epsom Derby and Epsom Oaks continue to be central fixtures in British horse racing, offering major excitement and significant prize money to participants and bettors alike. This year's Derby features 19 runners with a £1.5 million prize pool and is considered highly competitive, with Tennessee Stud identified as a notable outsider. The Oaks, held one day earlier, sees unbeaten filly Desert Flower as the favourite after several Group 1 wins. Key trainers such as Aidan O'Brien and Charlie Appleby are prominent in both races. Leading bookmakers, including 888sport, William Hill, Paddy Power, and Tote, are providing attractive free bets and bonuses for new customers in connection with the events. These offers underscore the commercial appeal and popularity of the Epsom showcase races.
