When is the Epsom Derby 2022? Schedule, race times, TV and live stream
Your complete guide to watching the Epsom Derby 2022 on TV and live stream with a full schedule including every race.
The Epsom Derby is a grand spectacle fit for a queen, so there's no better time to host it than the Platinum Jubilee weekend.
The Queen is not expected to make an appearance at the Epsom Derby this year due to the sprawling array of Jubilee commitments coming up this week.
Unfortunately, Her Majesty won't have any of her horses running in the race after all three of her would-be entrants – Reach For The Moon, Educator and General Idea – were withdrawn from the race for various reasons.
The Derby remains an elusive prize for the Queen, who has won all four of the other Classics in horse racing, but never the Epsom Derby.
She came closest in 1953 with a second-place runner shortly after her coronation and hasn't been able to achieve that feat since. Reach For The Moon was seen as a genuine contender to cap off a big weekend for the Queen, but her wait for a winner continues.
