Racecourse Media Group (RMG), the UK-based media rights organisation which produces and distributes top-class horseracing around the world, and Jockey Club Racecourses (JCR), owners of Epsom Downs Racecourse, have generated widespread interest in the £1,625,000 race.

Stephen Wallis, The Jockey Club Group’s International Director, said: “The 2019 Investec Derby has attracted a wide array of broadcasters, as befitting the greatest Flat race in the world.

“Major networks such as NBC, CBC, ESPN, ITV and SuperSport have been drawn to one of the world’s great sporting occasions, as have many other sports and racing channels. Wherever you are in the world, the chances are that you will be able to tune in to what should be another fantastic renewal of the Investec Derby.”
