King Charles to sell 12 of Queen's racehorses including famous winners

New monarch King Charles III is set to sell some of the best-performing racehorses that he inherited from his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, following her death.

The 12 racehorses that the Queen cared for are to be auctioned at Newmarket's Tattersalls. The Mirror reports that the Queen had an astounding 37 horses all racing in 2022.

A third of these have been given to King Charles, who will auction them off later this year. The Queen was given her father King George IV's breeding and racing stock in 1952, which began a life-long love for the sport of racing.
