OYOGIST has learned that Queen Elizabeth has been inducted into the official hall of fame for British flat racing, her racing manager has said.
The Queen, 95, who is well known for her love of horses and racing, as well as being a successful owner and breeder, has been awarded the honour due to her unwavering and lifelong dedication to the sport in the last eight decades.
John Warren, a horse monitor in the royal family, said the recognition would be the source of a ‘lot of inner pride’ for the Queen.
Queen Elizabeth has become the first person to emerge as QIPCO British Champions Series Hall of Fame within the Special Contributor category after being chosen by an independent panel of industry experts for her outstanding contribution.
