According to Jimmy George, a spokeswoman for Tattersalls, this does not indicate that the royal family’s relationship to horseracing has ended, as the Queen routinely sold horses before her death.
“There’s nothing extraordinary about it. Annually, they would sell horses “According to BBC News and Sky News, George said.
“The Queen had her own brood mares, which she would breed and sell. You cannot keep everyone “he said.
“Each year, owners sell their stake. His Majesty is simply acting as a monarch should “he added.
