The Derby Trial Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to three-year-old colts and geldings. It is run over a distance of 1 mile, 3 furlongs and 133 yards (2,334 metres) at Lingfield Park in May.

History

Established in 1932,[1] the event serves as a trial for the Epsom Derby. The first running was won by the subsequent Derby winner April the Fifth.[2]

The left-handed track at Lingfield Park is similar to that at Epsom. It has an undulating, cambered terrain with a sharp downhill turn into the home straight.

In total, eight winners of the race have achieved victory in the Derby. The most recent was High-Rise in 1998.

For a period the Derby Trial Stakes held Group 3 status. It was relegated to Listed level in 2013.[3]
