Epsom Derby Reboot Prepares for First Test with £2m Fund

Published June 1, 2026 · Updated June 1, 2026 · The Guardian

Epsom Racecourse is launching a five-year plan to revive the Derby's status and popularity, aiming to reverse last year's decline in attendance with a £2m prize fund and free parking incentives.

Last year's race saw just 22,312 paying spectators, prompting an urgent need for a revival. The 247th running on Saturday faces a critical test as fans and professionals seek positivity after a disappointing event. saltysenoritaaz.org
