Talking Horses Talking Horses: Jockey Club granted Derby injunction against Animal Rising
High court ruling prevents protesters entering Epsom track after the Grand National was delayed by course invasion
vices • II WILFUL/ tr@Greg Wood_ Fri 26 May 202316.34 BST D an Kidby, one of the founders of the protest group Animal Rising, said on Friday that its members will still attempt to stop the Derby being run at Epsom on 3 June, despite an injunction granted to the Jockey Club at the High Court which could make protesters liable for damages, fines and even imprisonment for causing disruption at the two-day Derby Festival next week. Activists from Animal Rising caused a 15-minute delay to last month's Grand National at Aintree after a handful of protesters scaled a fence and got onto the track, while the group has also staged actions at Ayr and Doncaster in recent weeks. Epsom on Derby day, however, is potentially a more obvious target for disruption as the public can watch the race for free from the Hill enclosure in the middli 52e
