A total of 91 entries are revealed today for The Cazoo Derby. The premier Classic will be run for the 243rd time at Epsom Downs on Saturday 4th June.
This year will see The Cazoo Derby form part of the official Platinum Jubilee celebrations with Her Majesty The Queen, who is patron of The Jockey Club, due to attend Epsom Downs on Saturday 4th June with members of The Royal Family. There are three entries owned by The Queen in The Cazoo Derby.
Heading the trio is the John and Thady Gosden-trained Reach For The Moon, winner of the Group Three Solario Stakes at Sandown Park in 2021 and last seen when the head runner-up in the Group Two Champagne Stakes at Doncaster in September. Haydock Park maiden winner Educator and unraced Galileo colt General Idea, both trained by William Haggas, complete the Royal-owned entries.
The Cazoo Derby is the only one of the five British Classics that The Queen has not won. Aureole fared the best of her 10 previous starters when runner-up to Pinza in 1953 while more recently Carlton House was third behind Pour Moi in 2011.
Uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic meant that there were was no yearling entry stage for this year’s Cazoo Derby at the end of 2020. The last time The Derby closed at the time of the year was in 1992. There is a second entry stage for The Cazoo Derby costing £12,000 on April 20th and a £75,000 supplementary entry stage on Monday 30th May.
In addition, the winner of the Listed Blue Riband Trial at Epsom Downs on 19th April will gain an automatic entry for The Cazoo Derby (providing not already entered or a gelding).
The Cazoo Derby has a total prize fund of £1.5 million in 2022, making it the most valuable race run in the UK,
