Patron

Her Majesty The Queen

Her Majesty The Queen was appointed Patron of the Thoroughbred Breeders Association in May 2024 succeeding the late Queen Elizabeth II who was Patron for 68 years from 1954 until her death in September 2022.

Her Majesty The Queen has held a longstanding interest in the breeding and owning of thoroughbreds across both National Hunt and Flat codes, enjoying her first home-bred winner with Royal Superlative in 2009, then as the Duchess of Cornwall, which she co-owned and bred with her husband King Charles III. She also takes a great interest in a host of other equestrian sports and works with a wide number of organisations that help to promote racing education and welfare.
