Jubilee Weekend Celebrations
The Derby comes during the planned bank holiday celebrating the monarch's Platinum Jubilee, but the Derby remains a race the Queen has yet to win as an owner, and it is now confirmed that 2022 will not be the year other after her three runners previously entered have been withdrawn from the race further lengthening the Epsom Derby Trends of no winner for the Queen int he race
Her best shot at the early entry stage was just 7/1 in the Derby betting, but Reach For The Moon has been pulled out of the race with the other two runners meaning that The Queen will have to wait at least another year to have a shot at completing the feat of having a winner in all of the 'Classic' following previous wins in the Oaks, 1000 Guineas, St Leger and 2000 Guineas.
