The Queen has demonstrated an unwavering dedication and passion for the breeding, training and racing of the racehorse throughout her long reign, and we cannot wait for you to join in and celebrate all she has done in her 70 years on the throne.
“The Epsom Derby Festival is a true carnival of racing – of course there is the style, entertainment, and Platinum Jubilee celebrations this year but with The Oaks and The Derby to look forward to, I can’t wait to be back in the saddle at Epsom!
Not only will I be racing, but I’ll be joining my old friend Sir AP McCoy in The Green Room on both Ladies’ Day and Derby Day so make sure you join me there.”
