Epsom Derby Day. The biggest day in the Flat racing calendar and a day Watchable’s horse racing syndicate will never forget after David O’Meara‘s in-form veteran produced a memorable win.
It’s a day any racing fan would love to attend. It’s incredibly special as an owner, rubbing shoulders with the most powerful owners in the sport, and a treat Watchable’s owners have enjoyed for the past two years.
Oisin Murphy Guides Watchable to Epsom Success
Last year the gallant Watchable was almost carried out of the race by an errant rival but this year with top jockey Oisin Murphy and a good draw in his favour, the popular nine-year-old appeared to have much more in his favour in the big, Derby Day six-furlong handicap.
Breaking quickly, Watchable soon showed his rivals a clean pair of heels and showed almost supernatural speed descending the iconic Tattenham Corner into Epsom’s home straight.
When asked to go and put his seal on the race Watchable found plenty to the delight of his owners, always holding his high-quality rivals thereafter to win in great style and produce a thrilling moment for all concerned.
A Memorable Derby Day for Syndicate Owners
There were memorable scenes in Epsom’s unique winners’ enclosure after the race as Watchable received the warmest of ovations as he came back in and his horse racing syndicate revelled in winning a big race on an iconic day’s racing.
Moments like this capture the true spirit of syndicate ownership, seeing our owners forge memories that last a lifetime — and showing why so many existing and new owners choose to buy shares with Hambleton Racing.
It’s a great thrill to see owners enjoying success at the very top of the sport and given his undoubted speed and class, there’s little doubt that Watchable is likely to continue to provide his horse racing syndicate with more fun going forward.
On a glorious Derby Day, the winners’ champagne tasted better than ever. A day to savour for all concerned!
