Champion racehorse owned by Queen Elizabeth II fails drug test:

Looks like Liz doesn’t have enough pounds and shillings in the Bank of England; the old girl is doping up her stable to try and get an edge on the other racing mares.

Her majesty is going to have to kick back the 80,625 pounds ($137,671) she won when her doped up nag took second-place in the Gold Cup at Ascot this past June. Just pocket change to her.

The champion racehorse owned by Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II has tested positive for morphine, a banned substance on race days in the United Kingdom.

It is not certain whether the Queen knew about the medical edge her horse was injected with but this little discrepancy is putting a slight tarnish on her crown.

I am relative sure that ruler of the UK isn’t going to miss any meals on account of this deceptive disclosure and the slap on the royal wrist she will receive.

Queen Elisabeth’s estimate worth is about 15 billion dollars, give or take a few million. She happens to be the largest land owner in the world.

Just the value of the jewelry she has on in this picture would be enough for her to buy 6 more castles.

Looking at all of this outrageous wealth how can the royal family even start to conceive what their “subjects” are up against. She should take the Warren Buffet and Bill Gates route and give the majority of her shilling away but I doubt it.
