Which bookies are offering Free Bets ahead of the 2025 Epsom Derby - The Mirror

The bookies will be busy this weekend with two Classics in the horse racing flats season including the Epsom Derby

This weekend, the spotlight will be firmly on Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey as the Derby Festival unfolds over two days, culminating in the illustrious Epsom Derby. This race, steeped in tradition and prestige, has long been a hallmark of British flat racing, shaping the careers of future champions and serving as a pivotal test for potential stallions.

This year's event promises to add another fascinating chapter to its rich history. Aidan O'Brien, a seasoned master with ten Derby wins under his belt, is once again in the mix with a strong lineup. Among his contenders is The Lion In Winter, whose odds have drifted following a lacklustre run in the Dante Stakes. Nonetheless, Delacroix stands out from O'Brien's stable, having captured victories in both the Ballysax and Derby Trials, and is likely to be partnered by jockey Ryan Moore.

Ruling Court is another notable contender, aiming to replicate Camelot's 2012 feat by winning both the 2000 Guineas and the Derby. Adding to the intrigue is Pride Of Arras, who has emerged as a formidable challenger after an impressive showing in the Dante.

Despite these strong entries, questions linger about the stamina of several top contenders, and with no clear standout like last year's City Of Troy, this year's Derby is wide open. This unpredictability enhances the anticipation for what promises to be an exhilarating edition of this iconic race.
