Epsom Derby Odds: All You Need To Know About The Race

Known as one of the most prestigious and viewed flat races in the United Kingdom, the Epsom Derby is often packed with drama. It is run on the first Saturday of June on a yearly basis, with the date for the 2025 iteration being the 1st of the month.   

The race is scheduled to commence at 4:30 pm BST, with the duration often sitting at around the 2 and a half minute mark. As usual, it will be run inside of the Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, England.

Top Epsom Derby Trainers To Watch 

As you can see from the table above showcasing all the previous winners, there are two trainers that stand out. First is Charlie Appleby, a trainer from Great Britain who has won the Epsom Derby twice in the past. He has plenty of accolades to his name, including World Trainer of 2021 and British Flat Racing Champion Trainer, which was also awarded in 2021.  

The other is Aidan O'Brien, an Irish trainer who needs no introduction. He won it in 2024 with City of Troy and is the current champion trainer in the Epsom Derby with 10 triumphs to his name. He is prolific at Epsom, with many of his horses being listed towards the top end of the Epsom Oaks odds, too. 

Both of these expert trainers have multiple horses in the race this year, many of whom are amongst the favourites. This is perhaps no surprise, given the impressive strike rate of the pair!
