Epsom Trends: Friday 5th June 2026

It’s day one of the two-day Epsom Derby Meeting this Friday (5th June 2026).

The Betfred Oaks at 4.00pm is the third English Classic of the season and the highlight on the day’s action, but there is also a top supporting card that includes the Group 3 Diomed Stakes, but the Coronation Cup has since been switched to Derby Day. 

Here at GeeGeez we are on hand with all the key stats for all the LIVE ITV races.
