Proposed plans for Derby & Oaks behind closed doors.

Details of the Jockey Club's plans for running the Derby and Oaks behind closed doors have emerged after it submitted a proposal to the local council detailing how it would stage the two Classics at Epsom ahead of a crucial council meeting next week.

The paper details key points as to how the Jockey Club plans to stage a behind-closed-doors Derby day, which includes sealing off the site from public access. These points include:
* Producing a communications strategy aimed at the racing community and local residents to ensure they do not attend the meeting and the racecourse.
* Installing fencing and pedestrian barriers at key access points around the site.
* Along with support from Surrey and Sussex Police, providing security at the site and maintaining the sterile areas.
* Utilising a racecourse control room fitted with CCTV footage to monitor the site.
* Addressing issues around the travelling community – although the paper stresses the Jockey Club believes they will not be attending.

Earthlight misses Prix de Fontainebleau on Monday.

Trainer Andre Fabre, "Earthlight pulled up slightly sore after work yesterday and upon examination appears to have a fetlock sprain. He will have a couple of easy days and won't run next week. Earthlight has done really well over the winter and we are looking forward to seeing him back on the track soon."

The safest way to double your money in these uncertain times is to fold it over once and put it back in your pocket :)

The Derby will stay at Epsom after backing is given to Jockey Club proposal.

The Investec Derby is set to remain at its traditional Epsom home this summer after official local approval was given to the Jockey Club's plan to stage the Classic on a Saturday in July or August and with normal public access to racecourse land forbidden for 24 hours.

This will be good to watch. Ride the Sussex Stakes mile. You can rotate the screen which is also good.
