Famous Horse Races
Epsom Oaks
 A Brief History Of Epsom Oaks The Oaks Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race for three-year-old thoroughbred fillies run over a distance of 1 mile 4 furlongs and 10 yards (2,423 metres) at Epsom Downs in early June. It is one of five classic races in the UK. The race is named after the Earl of Derby's estate "The Oaks" in Carshalton, about 4 miles to the east of Epsom Downs. At a dinner party held there the Earl and his friends planned a sweepstake for three-year-old fillies over a distance of one and a half miles (2,414 metres) and this was first run the following year 1779 and won by the Earl's own horse Bridget. The race has been named thus since.
