King Charles has his first winner as Just Fine carries Royal silks home in front at Leicester

JUST FINE made history at Leicester as the first Royal winner since the death of The Queen.

The four-year-old - aptly-trained by Her Majesty's long-time ally Sir Michael Stoute - bolted up at odds of 100-30 in the colours of King Charles III.

The horse was steered to victory by Ryan Moore, who The Queen affectionately referred to as "my jockey" after numerous big-race wins together.

The King's horse won the £15,000 handicap by four and a half lengths from the 9-4 favourite Sea The Casper.

An overjoyed Stoute said: "A winner for the King!

"It is great to have done that for him - and he was very impressive."

The King's racing manager John Warren added: "I'm delighted that the King and Queen Consort have had their first winner and they'll be delighted.

"I'm also absolutely thrilled for Sir Michael Stoute, who was probably the longest standing trainer for Her Majesty, and for Ryan Moore, who has put in a big effort as well.

"And for all the team at Sandringham, who rear and go through all the effort to produce the horses all in good shape, so it's a big commitment on everyone's part to get a result."

King Charles inherited all of Her Majesty’s horses after she passed away at Balmoral on September 8.
