Canadian horse racing fans can tune into the biggest races for 3-year-olds in England, the Cazoo Epsom Derby and Cazoo Epsom Oaks, on June 4 and 5 through Horseplayer Interactive (hpibet.com).
Both cards of racing begin at 9 a.m. Eastern. The Oaks and Epsom Derby (G1) each have a post time of 11:35 a.m. Eastern.
The Irish-bred filly SANTA BARBARA, by Camelot, is the 2-to-1 favourite for Friday’s Oaks. The filly won her debut last fall and was recently fourth in the 1000 Guineas, just her second career start.
The Racing Post has a horse-by-horse look at the Derby field with BOLSHOI BALLET the big favourite at 6/5:
1 Adayar
Has scope but improvement is needed and a more conventional track may suit better.
Trainer: Charlie Appleby
Jockey: Adam Kirby
Odds: 40-1
2 Bolshoi Ballet
Made very good impression with recent Group 3 win; looks sure to stay 1m4f; fine prospect.
Trainer: Aidan O’Brien
Jockey: Ryan Moore
Odds: 11-10 favourite
3 Gear Up
Group 1 winner at two (1m2f, heavy); just a respectable reappearance fifth in the Dante.
Trainer: Mark Johnston
Jockey: Ben Curtis
Odds: 50-1
