Default Estimate wins Gold Cup for Queen

I wouldn't normally post this but seeing as how much Her Majesty enjoys horse racing and the fact this is the first time a reigning monarch has won in the race's 207 year history...why not

The fix was in.


I like the smile she has on her face while receiving the trophy. "Is this for me?"

I might have done if I had backed the bloody thing.

Either that or "Oh great an egg cup for Phillips breakfast".

I bet she was tired after all that running.

Take Russell Brand back and keep him there, or there will be more jokes about your queen.

Sorry, but Liz 2 isn't even in the top 20 list of richest women on the planet. I didn't dig deep enough, but she may not even be in the top 100. Her Poor Majesty is only number 11 on the list of richest royals, though she seems to be the richest woman on that list.

Even though British taxes have knocked her out of the Billionaire's Roster, JK Rowling is still literally "richer than the queen of England."

I don't care. I just want to hug her.

Hey, I wasn't knocking her at all. I was just responding to a response to another response to a statement.

She is one person I would like to sit and shoot the breeze with. I bet she has some stories!

She is an incredibly hard working servant of this country, long live the queen.

OK Maybe she's not the richest but she's not short of a quid is she? Certainly not in need of a gold cup.

No, she's not. Then again, how often does she get to win something cool?
