“If you have never seen it before,
terrier racing is one of the great spectator sports.”

CANINE ANARCHY
Since 1780 the historic Epsom Racecourse has been the home of the world famous Derby and since 2003 it has also has been the scene of canine anarchy as dozens of barking mad terriers compete in the Omni Terrier Derby.

The Terrier Derby has grown in popularity with terrier owners and spectators over the years and has now become an unmissable attraction at the Epsom Trainers Open Day.

FACE of CHUM
The “face” of the Omni Terrier Derby and winner in 2003 and 2004, Smudge is now the face of Pedigree Chum.

Despite this new found fame Smudge has no plans to curtail his racing career and will appear at the Omni Terrier Derby for the seventh consecutive year.
