Updates on Derby day at Epsom: big race off at 1.30pm BSTAnd feel free to email Tony or tweet him @tonypaley
Good morning from Epsom racecourse, where what will probably be a smaller crowd than usual is starting to assemble a good deal earlier than usual, before what may yet come to be known as the Arrest Derby – if Frankie Dettori can get the likely favourite home in front – or the Multiple Arrests Derby, if activists from Animal Rising turn up in serious numbers. And there are, of course, many more possible outcomes too in what is, from many angles, as open a Derby as we have seen for years.
Arrest shot to the top of the market on Friday afternoon after his soon-to-be-retired jockey took the two biggest races on the opening day card, but the colt’s actual chance is no better than it was on Friday morning.
