Sir Francis Brooke, The Queen’s Representative at Ascot Racecourse, said: “The inclusion of The Queen within the Hall of Fame recognises her unique contribution to the world of racing, not only as an enthusiast, but also as a successful owner and breeder and as its most important patron.” “Her Majesty’s fascination is unwavering and her pleasure derives from all of her horses – always accepting the outcome of their ability so gracefully.” “Her love of horses and their welfare comes with a deep understanding of what is required to breed, rear, train and ride a thoroughbred. “The Queen’s contribution to racing and breeding derives from a lifelong commitment.
Speaking of the news, The Queen’s Bloodstock and Racing adviser, John Warren, said: “I suspect that The Queen will have a lot of inner pride in being invited into the Hall of Fame. The 95-year-old monarch becomes the first entry into the Hall of Fame within the Special Contributor category, having been chosen by an independent panel of industry experts. Her Majesty has been inducted into the QIPCO British Champions Series Hall of Fame – the official Hall of Fame for British Flat racing. The Queen will be feeling “a lot of inner pride” according to her bloodstock manager John Warren after being inducted into British horse racing’s Hall of Fame.
