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. |

On Saturday May 16th 2009 we held the Omni Terrier

up with their terriers and joining in the fun.
