The Queen to miss Epsom Derby for only the third time in her reign

The Queen will miss the Epsom Derby on Saturday. She will watch it on TV from Windsor Castle. Her Majesty's passion for horses will be celebrated on ITV Racing on Sunday. Previously unseen footage shows Her majesty feeding horses at the Sandringham stables. The footage will feature in a five-minute-long special feature. The segment also covers the Queen’s historic win with Estimate at Royal Ascot in 2013 and her near-miss with Carlton House in the 2011 Derby. It will air from 12.40-5pm on Channel 5. Phil White from The Jockey Club wishes Her Maj a wonderful Platinum Jubilee.

The Queen will miss Epsom Derby for only the third time in her reign. Her horses Reach for the Moon and Educator were withdrawn. Just Fine was removed from the World Pool Northern Dancer Handicap. Bookmakers expect a flurry of support for horses with royal names this weekend.
