Epsom Oaks & Derby 2026 — The Stride & Sectional Showcase
RaceMetrics has published free stride and sectional data for every declared runner in the 2026 Epsom Oaks and Derby. The analysis draws from each horse's latest trials.
Speed as a Function of Stride
A horse's speed is stride length multiplied by cadence (strides per second). Over Epsom's mile-and-a-half distance, the winning profile favours a long, efficient stride paired with the ability to switch off — the defining trait of a true stayer.
Access the Data
RaceMetrics sectionals for both races are available now at racemetrics.uk/epsom.
