Investec Derby Announces 2015 Ambassadors
The Investec Derby Festival has announced its 2015 ambassador line-up starring TV personality Millie Mackintosh, champion jockey Frankie Dettori MBE, Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis OBE, presenter and DJ Laura Whitmore and two-star Michelin chef Michel Roux Jnr.
This year’s ambassadors were chosen to represent the elements that make up the event; encompassing food, racing, fashion and music.
The stable of talent were photographed together to launch this year’s Derby which takes place on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 June and is expected to attract over 125,000 visitors.
Frankie Dettori commented: “The Investec Derby is the most prestigious event in the racing calendar and the ultimate test for horses and their riders.
“It took me 15 attempts to win a Derby and taking home the trophy in 2007 will always remain one of my career highlights.
“The race still stands as the greatest flat race in the world and the one every jockey wants to win.”
Denise Lewis added: “I love sport but not everyone knows of my love for horses, I even have shares in racehorses with Highclere.
“This will be my first time at the Investec Derby.
“Epsom is one of the few tracks I haven’t been to and I can’t wait to see the leading equine athletes taking on its unique challenge.”
