The Queen has bagged £6.7million in prize money over her 30 years involved as an owner in flat racing.
Her majesty's most successful year was 2016, proving she is getting better with age, when she scooped £557,650.
Her prolific run and longevity in the sport sees her rank 11th amongst flat racing owners having secured 451 wins at a win 15.9 percent win ratio.
The data assembled by myracing.com has been verified by British Horse Racing Authority for accuracy.
The records only date back to 1988, which means the royal has won even more having been heavily invested in the sport right back to the 1950s.
The Queen therefore averages 15 wins per year, with 20 more coming this year along with £394,565 to top up her earnings and sit 11th in the Owner's Championship.
She is way behind Godolphin Racing though, who have secured 132 wins this year to top the British Horse Racing Authority's table at £5,513,737 for 2017.
Elector may be the Queen's lucky charm as the Sir Michael Stoute-trained horse has a 100 percent win record.
The Bay Colt is not far behind though and the Queen will already be eagerly anticipating its bid to win the Epsom Investec Derby next June to break her duck on the course at 92 years of age.
