Does "spectator sport" here refer back to "horse racing"?

====================
Richard Dawkins tweeted:
Philip “was said to have so little patience with horse racing that he had his top hat fitted with a radio so that he could listen to cricket matches when he escorted the queen to her favorite spectator sport” (NY Times).


Whether true or not, it’s the kind of thing we’ll miss.
