Sir William Carrington will control and manage the races on behalf of the King. Viscount Churchill stated that he only consented to become trustee on condition that they managed the racee on a business footing. King Edward had authorised the construction of a 5s stand to hold 30,000, the money to be borrowed from Coutts’ Bank against the security of tile Privy Purse.
