The King and Queen's horse, Treasure, placed eleventh in the Betfred Oaks today.
The King and Queen made a surprise visit to Epsom today to see their horse race in The Oaks, a classic twice won by animals owned by Queen Elizabeth II.
Queen Elizabeth II was a passionate horse owner and racegoer during her 70-year reign, and landed five classics in all, with Carrozza her first Oaks winner in 1957. Treasure, who was bred by the late Queen, placed eleventh place in the race after struggling to keep up with the pace at the end.The King and Queen had not been in the royal box long before they presented the winning trophies in the Coronation Cup, won by Luxembourg, trained by Aidan O’Brien and ridden by Ryan Moore.
The horse won not only The Oaks but also the St Leger, in what was the late Queen’s silver jubilee year.
