Queen Elizabeth II’s “Estimate” wins Ascot

Estimate at 7-2, wins the Ascot, the first time a filly has won since 1991. Queen Elizabeth II, age 87, applauded the victory of her horse at the Royal Ascot. On the throne for 61 years, she has attended every Ascot since 1945. Congratulations to one of the world’s greatest equine fans and the Estimate.
