King Charles will continue the Queen's "lifelong passion" by taking ownership of her cherished racehorses.
The sport enters a new era when the monarch has his first runner in the royal silks later this week. It had been thought Queen Consort Camilla would lead the royal thoroughbred operation, however the horses have transferred to the name of The King.
Educator will carry the Queen's purple, scarlet and gold braided colours in a race at Salisbury on Thursday. The colt is trained by William Haggas, who attended the Queen's funeral at Windsor. Educator will be the first horse to race in her famous silks since September 8, the day the Queen died at her Balmoral estate in Scotland.
