Royal Ascot Gold Cup Betting Odds

The class factor is important with 20 of the last 23 since 2000 having previously struck in a Group 1 or Group 2 (15 had won at the highest level).

There is not a wide choice of targets for stayers and almost every recent winner has come down the Sagaro/Henry II/Yorkshire Cup route in Britain or via the Vintage Crop/Saval Beg in Ireland. Ten of the last 16 winners have won at least one of those races en route (last year’s winner Kyprios won both Irish races). The previous Gold Cup is also a guide – ten horses have won the race more than once in the near half century since Sagaro, one of the all-time greats started his hat trick in 1975.

  • OR:106
A good renewal of this famous staying race with no standout champion this season. Coltrane is the most obvious contender as he loves the track and stays so well whilst last year’s St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov ran a great trial at York and promises to be well suited by this longer trip. The Gosden’s have had such a great time of late in the race with Stradivarius and may have found another good one in the unbeaten Courage Mon Ami who is also stepping up markedly in trip but wasn’t stopping last time and on ratings hasn’t much to find. An unbeaten horse ridden by Frankie Dettori he’s the pick here with the Godolphin runner Yibir another to consider if he sees the trip out.

Ascot Gold Cup History & Past Winners

Fancied runners have an excellent record with only three of the 23 winners since 2000 were outside the top four in the market and 16 were in the top two in the market. The favourites record in the race in the last ten years read 1131211141 so as you can see its best to look towards the top of the market. 

The longest priced winner was Indian Queen in 1991 at 25-1 whilst the shortest priced winner is the great Ardross in 1981 at 1-5.
