You’re in good company if you’re hoping for glory in the Derby but expect some formidable competition from the Queen of England; who has pinned her hopes of winning The Derby with Carlton House. The Queen is riding the wave of popularity following the royal wedding and is buoyed by the support Carlton House has received by the bookies and public alike. Carlton House was almost excluded from the final field following an injury to his foreleg but was just given the all clear from his veterinarians to compete in The Derby. He will be her first contender since the legendary Shergar who came fifth in 1981. Carlton House’s injuries generated considerable media attention (and royal tension), which coupled with the Queen’s personal interest being so closely followed by the general public and the horse racing community alike, The Derby has is being hailed as the race by royal appointment!
