Season
Oaks Day, Derby Stakes Day, Yasuda Kinen and Prix du Jockey Club to be beamed live for betting
Oaks Day (Fri 3 June) and Derby Stakes Day (Sat 4 June) from United Kingdom
Epsom’s Oaks Day and Derby Day meeting will be simulcast live for betting from late evening on Friday, 3 June and Saturday, 4 June.
The Oaks (G1 2405m for 3yo fillies) and the Derby Stakes (G1 2405m for 3yo colts and fillies) date back to 1779 and 1780 respectively, and remain the most illustrious races for the three-year-old classic generation of both sexes. Over the years, both races became so successful that they inspired versions of the Oaks and the Derby in almost every racing nation in the world. The undulations at Epsom and the testing descent from Tattenham Corner have made the Oaks and Derby a strong test of balance, speed and stamina.

On Sunday, 5 June, the Yasuda Kinen will be simulcast live for betting from Tokyo Racecourse during the Sha Tin races.
The Yasuda Kinen (G1 1600m for 3yo and upwards) now in its 72nd running, is a race to determine the best miler of the spring season in Japan. The race has been honoured as the second highest-rated turf race over a mile in the 2021 LONGINES Top 100 G1 Races ranking.
Prix du Jockey Club from France (Sun, 5 June – 10:00pm)
The Prix du Jockey Club will be simulcast live for betting from France in the late evening of Sunday, 5 June.
The Prix du Jockey Club (G1 2100m for 3yo colts and fillies) was inspired by the Epsom Derby and was first run in 1836 at the scenic Chantilly racecourse in the heart of France’s largest training centre.
The best three-year-olds in continental Europe along with contenders from across the English Channel look set to establish their pre-eminence and battle it out for glory and the €1.5 million on offer.
Final declarations with barrier draws for the Yasuda Kinen and Prix du Jockey Club will be available on Friday, 3 June.
