Terriers went head-to-head in a "mad" dog derby at the home of the world famous horse race of the same name on Sunday.

Your Local Guardian:

Organiser Bob Pain said 70 terriers raced in the 12th Omni Terrier Derby at Epsom Downs Racecourse.

Mr Pain said the winner was a border terrier cross, called Leo, whose brother Widget won the race two years ago.

He said: "It’s like the Derby itself when you get winners down the ages. It went brilliantly. We were oversubscribed with dogs.

"It was good fun, mad. Everyone seemed to have a good time."

On top of the races, there was also a competition for the "best turned out" dog.
