It's a love that has endured for over 70 years, since Queen Elizabeth II first visiteda racing stable.

自从伊丽莎白女王第一次参观了一个赛马马厩后，她对赛马的热爱持续了70多年。

She was 16 and her father, George VI, wascasting his eye overtwo of his prime race horses .

她16岁的时候，她的父亲乔治六世把目光放在他两只最主要的参赛马儿身上。

"She watched themdo some gallopsahead of some big races that wereimminent," journalist and author Julian Muscat told CNN, "and afterward she went and patted them on the head and loved the feel and thesilkinessof their coats.

记者兼作家Julian Muscat对CNN说：“她当时看着这两只马飞驰，为即将来临的比赛做准备。马儿跑累了后，她会走到马儿身边，轻拍它们的头，她很喜欢这么做，享受触摸丝滑的马毛的感觉。”

"The story goes that she didn't wash her hands for the rest of the day."

“那天她甚至舍不得洗手。”

Her passion remains undiminished. The Queen still rides horses every weekend, according to Muscat, and has made the Royal Ascot meeting -- held annually at Ascot racecourse -- a fixture of her calendar.

Julian Muscat称，女王对马儿的热情从未衰退；每个周末，她都会骑马。她还确保了英国皇家爱斯科赛马会每年如期在阿斯科特赛场举办。
