[3] At the end of his three-year-old season Morton described Your Majesty as "a natural stayer" and "dead game", but admitted that the colt tended to be nervous and excitable.

[5] Your Majesty's dam, Yours, who failed to win a race herself,[2] had previously produced Our Lassie, a filly who won The Oaks for Jack Joel in 1903.

[6] Your Majesty's racing career began at Royal Ascot in June 1907, when he finished unplaced in the five furlong New Stakes behind Sir Archibald.

[7] In the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket in May 2008, Your Majesty lost a great deal of ground at the start before finishing strongly to take sixth place behind the American-bred Norman, who won from Sir Archibald and White Eagle.

The £10,000 race was one of the most important of the season and Your Majesty was a 100/8 outsider in a field in which Lesbia and White Eagle were considered the main contenders.

In the race, Griggs struggled to find a clear run for Your Majesty in the straight and switched the colt to the wide outside.

As the more fancied horses struggled in the closing stages, Your Majesty produced a strong run to take the lead and won by two lengths from his fellow three-year-olds Santo Starto and Siberia.

At Doncaster on 9 September, Your Majesty started a well-backed 11/8 favourite for the St Leger against nine opponents including Norman and the filly Signorinetta, the winner of the Derby and Oaks.

[21] Your Majesty stood as a stallion in England for six seasons, during which his most successful offspring was Princess Dorrie, a filly who won the 1000 Guineas and The Oaks for Jack Joel in 1914.

[22] Following the success of Princess Dorrie, the stallion was bought by a French syndicate, but on the outbreak of war in 1914 he was returned to Argentina[23] to stand at Haras Ojo de Agua.
