2027 Epsom 3yo Dash Preview
Introduced at the 2023 Epsom Derby Festival, the 3yo Dash is a race similar to the 'Epsom Dash', which is run over the five-furlong trip, hence the 'Dash' name; however, this race is restricted to three-year-old runners.
The inaugural running was won by Michael Dods with Tatterstall, who was sent off at 8/1 under Connor Beasley, winning from stall thirteen of the fourteen.
