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

Peter Thomas
Racing Post - July 21st 2008

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 tenth consecutive year.

Sunday 26th August 2012
Registration 12pm, races from 1pm.
Following nine highly successful renewals, Omni are once again proud to be sponsoring the Terrier Derby, run at the actual Derby course - click for map.

SPECTATORS FREE !

An hilarious spectacle for audience and participants alike with a parade of champions where previous winners strut their stuff on the winners' podium before battle commences.

THE MAIN EVENT
Due to changes in the format of the Epsom Trainers Open Day, the Terrier Derby will be held on Sunday August 26th 2012 from 1pm (registration from 12pm) along side the racecourse, as opposed to on the course itself, in the Tattenham Enclosure.
The trainers' yards will be open to visitors as usual in the morning, but the Queens Stand will not be open in the afternoon for the other usual attractions, including the Shetland Pony Derby, which will take place at the Bank Holiday Monday race meeting. So on the Sunday the Omni Terrier Derby is the main event.

BRING YOUR TERRIER
If you have a terrier(s) up to 15” at the shoulder then bring them along or just come and enjoy the fun with the Terrier Racing set.
Owners can pre-register their terrier by emailing bob@terrierderby.com or register on the day from 12pm at the registration tent. Entry costs £2 per terrier (all proceeds to charity).
PS: There is plenty of parking in adjacent car parks. Refreshments will be available and toilet facilities are just metres away.
