A special racecard honoured the Queen at Doncaster

As British horse racing resumed, Eldar Eldarov won the St Leger at Doncaster.

There was a two-minute silence before racing began after the Classic was put back.

The jockeys and trainers bowed their heads.

There is an emptiness as we lost a great friend and ambassador in the Queen.

David Egan and Eldar Eldarov rode to victory in the St Leger.

Racing in Britain was halted on Sunday as a mark of respect for the Queen.

The Queen owned and bred racehorses and won the Leger with the filly Dunfermline in 1977.

Chepstow's fixture went ahead despite the cancellation of Musselburgh's match.

There will be no meetings on the day of the funeral.

Emotional win on Eldar Eldarov

Racing has lost one of its biggest supporters in the Queen and is mourning the death of a young rider.

Henry's son died in a fall a week ago during a beach race.

"These Classics are fantastic, I won on my first Leger ride." I am very sad for her.

It has been a week since Jack died. When I crossed the line, I thought about him the most. It was for him.

The 9-2 chance Eldar Eldarov, named after the MMA fighter by Bahrain owner Shaikh Khalid, was followed home by Haskoy but the runner-up was demoted to fourth because of interference.

Roger Varian said that they were thinking of the Queen.

Our thoughts are with the Royal Family. Our sympathies are with the family. It has been a difficult week for racing, but horses always give you a reason to look forward.

'A great loss'

There was no sign of his famous flying dismount after he won the first two races.

I did not jump off to show disrespect to the Queen. The Italian said that it was still fresh in their minds.

He said that he and his friends would be here all day.

We are going to miss her a lot.

Tactical was one of Andrew Balding's winners for the Queen.

It has been difficult. It's a big hole to fill and this result may lift the mood a little bit at home.

Before that, my father trained for her and my grandpa.

We have known her for a long time and have been privileged to work for her. It is a loss.

Trueshan was the favorite to win the Doncaster Cup.

Kyprios, trained by O'Brien, won the Irish St Leger at the Curragh to improve his record to five wins and two second places.

Highfield Princess won the Flying Five Stakes, her third victory in a row.
