There has been some disappointing news confirmed for the Queen, with her Platinum Jubilee is just weeks away
May 03, 2022 - 19:36 BST Matthew Moore Horse racing is one of the Queen's favourite pastimes, but there has been some disappointing news for the monarch ahead of the Epsom Derby.The event, which will honour the royal's 70-year reign on the throne, was due to see three of her thoroughbreds competing for glory, but sadly all of them have been withdrawn.
Meanwhile, the Queen's other entrants, Educator and General Idea, were"scratched" off the entry list when the Jockey Club announced those in the running. Both of the horses were deemed to be long-shots at winning the race anyway. If she attends, she will be greeted by a guard of honour of up to 40 jockeys who ride or have ridden her horses over the years at the Derby this year.
