Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 24, 2022 Journalists Posted May 24, 2022 A quintet of Her Majesty The Queen's former racehorses-Barbers Shop (GB) (Saddlers' Hall {Ire}), First Receiver (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), Quadrille (GB) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), Prince's Trust (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), and Forth Bridge (GB) (Bernardini)–will parade at Epsom Downs Racecourse on Cazoo Derby Day, June 4. The parade, which is part of a tribute to The Queen's contribution to the horseracing and breeding industry, was organized by Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) and The Jockey Club. The monarch will be in attendance for the G1 Cazoo Derby, which is part of the official Platinum Jubilee celebrations. This event will be in addition to a Guard of Honour of 40 jockeys who have ridden for The Queen, who will greet her arrival dressed in her famous silks at the track on the day. Phil White, London Regional Director at The Jockey Club, said, “We're delighted that Retraining of Racehorses will be bringing some of Her Majesty's former racehorses to parade on Cazoo Derby Day. “We know The Queen is incredibly fond of all of her horses, whether they are racing or involved in other disciplines, so this will be a great way to combine her passion for the Thoroughbred with a chance to educate people about the work RoR do and the lives racehorses live once their careers on the track have come to an end.” The post The Queen’s Former Racehorses To Parade At Epsom On Derby Day appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
