June 4 (Reuters) - More than 30 people detained in connection with plans to disrupt Britain's Epsom Derby horse race have been released on bail, police said on Sunday. Police arrested 31 people on Saturday, including a protester who was detained after entering the racecourse. Auguste Rodin, ridden by Ryan Moore, won the 244th Epsom Derby. Last year's Epsom Derby was delayed after six protesters from Animal Rising, then named Animal Rebellion, entered the course and had to be removed by the police. April's Grand National was delayed by animal rights protesters, while more than 20 people were arrested at the Scottish Grand National.

Last month, protest group Animal Rising issued a call for volunteers to help disrupt the event by entering the track. "One man was arrested after he ran onto the racetrack after a race had started. He was quickly removed by event security and police officers, meaning the race was not disrupted," Surrey Police said in a statement. Animal Rising shared a video of the protester being detained on Twitter, claiming that the individual was a supporter of the group.
