Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be an interested spectator at this calendar racing event. The Epsom Derby is one of the oldest and greatest horse races in the world, established by the Earl of Derby in 1779. Today this race for three-year-olds attracts prize money of over a million pounds and crowds approaching 100,000. The rolling hills of the Epsom Downs make this course a unique challenge for horses and jockeys alike. It is also one of the most glamorous events in the international racing calendar. The Queen arrives by carriage, followed by thousands of spectators in their best togs. Racing gets underway at 2pm sharp. The Derby itself takes place on the Saturday, while Friday features a race called The Oaks, and, more importantly, Ladies Day, which is as much a fashion show as a horse race. Last year, Michael Kinane rode champion Irish colt Sea The Stars to victory ahead of favourite Fame And Glory in what was a rather routine race for the record-breaking horse. With Sea The Stars now retired to stud, punters can expect a new winner this June.
