QuoteThe Sun shines on Sophie Wessex but Her Horse Fails to Make the Grade at Newmarket

The Queen is famous for her love of horses and so are Zara Phillips and Princess Anne. But it seems they aren't the only royals with a passion for all things equine.

Sophie Wessex, a keen rider in her own right, was among the racing aficionados to turn out for the first race of the day at Newmarket - and even had a runner.

Unfortunately for the royal, her horse, Zilber, failed to make the grade and could only manage a third place finish in the Alex Scott Maiden Stakes, well behind the winner, Provident Spirit.

Despite the disappointing result, the Countess appeared on good form as she enjoyed the sunshine and a chat with co-owner, the Countess of Derby, and Zilber's jockey Adam Kirby.
