King Charles set to sell 12 of Queen’s racehorses in 'scaling back' of tradition

The long-reigning monarch had a whopping 37 horses in races this year, of which a third have been given to Charles. In 1952, after the death of her father King George VI, Elizabeth was given her father's breeding and racing stock - which ignited a life-long love for the sport.
