The Queen is famously a huge lover of horse racing
June 03, 2022 - 12:36 BST Emmy Griffiths The Queen famously adores horse racing, but unfortunately has been given some very disappointing news about the upcoming Epsom Derby, which is set to take place on Saturday.It has been revealed that her Majesty’s only runner, Just Fine, was pulled out of racing. Just Fine had been entered to feature in the World Pool Northern Dancer Handicap, staged over the full Derby course and distance of one mile and four furlongs.
Her horse Reach for the Moon and two others were also withdrawn earlier in May. The monarch will also sadly be missing the exciting event, and would likely to have watched her horse running on the TV instead.
