Cast in silver and based on the undulating Epsom course, the modern Oaks Trophy will make an eye-catching addition to any racehorse owner or trainer’s mantelpiece.

The new trophy has been created by equestrian artist Charlie Langton. It incorporates a small sculpture of the first winner of the Classic, Bridget — owned by the 12th Earl of Derby in 1779.
