For nearly sixty years - practically her whole reign - Her Majesty the Queen has been trying to own the winner of the Derby. This title tells the story of Her Majesty's passion for racing and bloodstock breeding.
For nearly sixty years - practically her whole reign - Her Majesty the Queen has been trying to own the winner of the Derby. Her colt Aureole finished second in 1953 just a few days after her coronation, but despite numerous attempts since, that was the closest she has come - until 2011, when Carlton House finally wrote the happy ending to one of the greatest of all tales of the Turf. In "The Queen's Derby" acclaimed racing journalist Julian Muscat, who has had unique access to all of those most closely involved in the royal racing operation, goes behind the scenes to tell the full story of Her Majesty's passion for racing and bloodstock breeding, a story which culminated in that glorious and unforgettable afternoon on Epsom Downs.
