Lady Victoria, known as a keen racing fan, had also backed 20-1 Sukanya, which finished seventh.
But that did not dampen her mood as she celebrating her success with two women around her.
An onlooker said: “Nothing dampened Victoria’s mood.
“She was having a whale of a time, was cheering and shouting, and seemed completely at home.
“She is known for loving a day at the races and was delighted at picking a winner.
“She seemed to be studying the form intently and waved to the crowds after the race as she held onto her betting slip, her phone and an Ascot programme.
“People were joking that Victoria seemed to be having a better time that her husband who is struggling at Number 10.”
Victoria’s mother Barbara is from Doncaster, and her grandmother lived on the edge of the town’s famous racecourse.
