Royal Ascot Races

Royal Ascot
Royal Ascot Races

First run in 1768 Royal Ascot is part of the UK’s sporting summer alongside Wimbledon and the British Open golf tournament. Royal Ascot is Britain’s most valuable race meeting attracting many of the world’s finest racehorses to compete for millions of pounds in prize money.

Eighteen Group races, eight of them Group 1, are staged each year and broadcast to audiences in almost 200 countries worldwide. Royal Ascot has four enclosures in total with three open to the public.

The Royal Enclosure is the most prestigious with access strictly limited. Entrance can only be gained if you gain sponsorship from someone who has attended the Royal Enclosure for at least four years.

There is a very strict dress code with men wearing grey, navy or black morning wear and top hat and women wearing formal
daywear and a hat.

Each day is started with a Royal Procession which leaves nearby Windsor Castle following lunch and is attended by
various members of the Royal Family and carefully selected guests, arriving each day in horse-drawn carriages.

Sir Michael Stoute has trained more winners at Royal Ascot than any other trainer with 82 successes and the most famous
being when Estimate won the 2013 Gold Cup for The Queen. Close behind him is Aiden O’Brien with 81 although that tally
has been clocked up in just 25 years and at 26 Royal Ascots working out at an average of just over three winners per
Royal Ascot which is quite staggering.

The leading jockey is the great late Lester Piggott who amassed a total of 116 winners including a record-breaking 11
Ascot Gold Cups. Some way behind with 76 is Frankie Dettori for whom this year’s meeting will be his last.

Ascot Racecourse

Ascot Racecourse is a dual-purpose British racecourse located in Ascot, Berkshire, England. It is visited by
approximately 600,000 people each year and covers 179 acres leased from the Crown Estate and enjoys close associations
with the Royal Family.

Founded in 1711 with the first permanent building erected 82 years later. A new grandstand was opened in 1839 at a cost
of £10,000. In 2002 the racecourse was closed for a £220 million redevelopment, the single biggest investment in British
Horse Racing.
