The win earned the monarch £24,385 in prize money.

The Queen inherited the Royal Family's horse breeding operation in 1952, following the death of King George VI.

Over the past decades, she has gathered more than 1,800 victories - the first one taking place at Fontwell Park in 1949 with a horse named Monaveen.
