Evocation of Speed

The statue was designed to celebrate Epsom’s racing heritage with a sculpture, by Judy Boyt, to mark the millennium. The design shows the difference in riding styles and clothing from Diomed, the winner of the first ever Derby and Galileo, winner in 2001. The statue was officially unveiled on Tuesday 9th July 2001 by Councillor Jean Steer. In 2017, due to redevelopment of Epsom Square, the statue was moved into Oaks Square. On 1st March 2020, Evocation of Speed was moved from its temporary home, in Oaks Square, to its permeant residents in Epsom Market Place.
