Brough Scott recalls Queen Elizabeth II discussed horses with trainer two days before her death

Former jockey Brough Scott has revealed Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II talked about horse racing just two days before her death, on the same day she met new Prime Minster Liz Truss. The Queen was passionate about horses from an early age, and Scott says she spoke to Clive Cox, who trained the final winner for her, 48 hours prior to her passing. Ad “The last Tuesday of her life, two days before she died, when Boris Johnson and Mrs Johnson were coming up, they were followed by Liz Truss and Mr Truss, it was quite a thing to have in your head,” Scott told Eurosport.

He was told, ‘She is a bit busy at the moment’. “He got a call back an hour later which said, ‘The Queen's on the line’.

She spoke to him that day with Boris Johnson coming up the drive. “She spoke to him and was completely on the ball about the horse running, which by the way was a minor horse running in a minor race at Goodwood and about another that hadn't run in his stable and about something else. The horse was her last winner, it was called Love Affairs.” The Queen made regular appearances at Royal Ascot with her biggest sporting passion being horse racing.
