The 2022 Epsom Derby was the 243rd annual running of the Derby horse race which took place at Epsom Downs Racecourse on 4 June 2022. The race was sponsored for the second time by the online car-dealer Cazoo. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the first entries were closed in February 2022. [1]
In 2021 and 2022 the race, along with seven other races at the Derby festival, was sponsored by Cazoo. [21] Cazoo declined an option to extend their sponsorship [22] and in April 2023 the bookmaker Betfred agreed a three-year deal to sponsor the Derby and Oaks.

The course is best known for hosting the Derby Stakes, which has come to be widely referred to as The Derby or as the Cazoo Derby for sponsorship reasons, the United Kingdom's premier thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old colts and fillies, over a mile and a half (2400 m).
