The Derby Stakes (also known as The Derby and internationally as the Epsom Derby), is considered one of the most prestigious flat thoroughbred horse races in the world. The race takes place each year on the first weekend in June at Epsom Downs Racecourse.

It is one of the five British Classic Races and is the second leg of the English Triple Crown, preceded by the 2,000 Guineas and followed by the St. Leger.

It is a Group 1 race for three-year-old colts and fillies. The equivalent race for fillies only is the Oaks, and for older horses the Coronation Cup, both run over the same course and distance.

Winning Trends for the Epsom Derby

Trainer Trend: Sir Michael Stoute has won this race twice in the last six years.

Jockey Trend: K Fallon was the jockey on both of Sir Michael Stoute's winners.

Favourite Trend: The top end of the betting appears to be the place to look. The favourite has won three times in the last six years (joint-favourite in 2004) with the 3f winning in 2006, the 2nd Fav in 2008 and a 6/1 "outsider" winning in 2003.

Official Rating Trend: Range: 115-126 (No OR for the 2003 winner).
