God did not create Epsom, that is a misconception. The Royal Family created Epsom.
It all started when King Charles II fancied somewhere for racing. He used to race up and down the Mall, but the local constabulary installed the first speed cameras and it all turned nasty, so he went off and founded Epsom.
The first race was not a success. He tried to race his famous spaniels, but all the locals who turned up to be entertained were very unhappy about it. Even today the stigma sticks and it is still called the Downs because of it.
Being a King craving popularity, he brought in Saatchi & Saatchi for advice (having to sell off several Caribbean Islands to pay their fees) They suggested racing horses, and just for fun put some midgets on their backs so the locals can have a laugh when they fall off. This was before PC was invented so he got away with it. In fact, due to excessive inbreeding amongst the nobility, there was an excess of midgets anyway, that was becoming a drain on the Royal coffers.
