The historical trophy has been established in 1911, to conmemorate the coronation of His Majesty King George V, the great-grandfather of the current monarch.

Earlier in the morning, on The Prince’s Ground, and for the Whitebread Trophy, Young England defeated the Comonwealth 11-4. Louis Hine was named MVP, and Coruba, owned and ridden by William Harper, took BPP honors.
