Derby Stakes Day from Great Britain (Sat, 3 June – 1st race 19.50 Hong Kong time)
Eight races from the Derby Stakes Day meeting to be held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in England will be simulcast live for betting from late evening on Saturday, 3 June.
The Derby Stakes (G1 2405m for 3yo colts and fillies) dates back to 1780 and is probably the most famous flat race in the world. Over the years, the race became so successful that it inspired versions of the Derby in almost every racing nation in the world. The undulations at Epsom and the testing descent from Tattenham Corner have made the Derby a strong test of balance, speed and stamina. Winning the Blue Riband of the Turf remains the lifetime dream of every horseman.
Yasuda Kinen from Japan (Sun, 4 June – 14.40 Hong Kong time)
On Sunday, 4 June, the Yasuda Kinen will be simulcast live for betting from Tokyo Racecourse.
The Yasuda Kinen (G1 1600m for 3yo and upwards) now in its 73rd running, is a race to determine the best miler of the spring season in Japan. The 2023 nominees include G1 winners JACK D’OR, SCHNELL MEISTER and the defending champion SONGLINE.
Prix du Jockey Club from France (Sun, 4 June – 22.05 Hong Kong time)
The Prix du Jockey Club will be simulcast live for betting from France in the late evening of Sunday, 4 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.
