Epsom Oaks Horse Entries & Selections
We have to wait until two days before the actual race itself until we know the runners for the 2024 Epsom Oaks, but the road to the Classic is masterminded months and even years in advance.
There’s a long process to entering the Oaks and it goes through different stages and it will often see many horses taken out of the race as they fail to reach the standard to run in the race. However, with two days to go the owners and trainers will declare their horses for the Epsom Oaks and there’s a maximum field of 20 fillies allowed to run in the Oaks.
We will have top tipsters Andrew Mount and Matty Sutcliffe to provide their best bets for the 2024 Epsom Oaks here.
Which Trainers Have Historically Had the Most Success in the Epsom Oaks?
You have to go all the way back to the 1800s for the most successful trainer in the Oaks as Robert Robson trained 13 winners between 1802 and 1825, while in the same era Frank Buckle rode the winner on nine separate occasions.
In more recent times the legendary Sir Henry Cecil trained the winner of the Oaks eight times with the likes of Oh So Sharp (1985) and Light Shift (2007) two of his big named winners, while Aidan O’Brien eclipsed Cecil’s number when he trained his tenth winner in the shape of Tuesday in the 2022 renewal.
It’s a race that will only see the best do battle and all the leading trainers will unleash their star fillies and look to etch their name on the illustrious roll of honour.
