RACING AT ROYAL ASCOT

5

L ast year the Copper Horse Stakes, the Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes and the

Golden Gates Stakes were added to the programme and the Buckingham Palace Stakes was reinstated. These races have all been retained and Her Majesty has also approved the naming of the Kensington Palace Stakes (0-105), a new handicap to be run over the Old Mile for four-year-old and upwards fillies and mares.

Kensington Palace, set in Kensington Gardens, has been a residence for Members of the Royal Family since the 17th century.

The ‘Silver’ versions of the Royal Hunt Cup and the Wokingham Stakes have not been retained and there will not be eight races on Saturday as there were in 2020.

Sir Francis Brooke Bt., Her Majesty’s Representative at Ascot, said:

“A positive that we drew from Royal Ascot 2020 was that the additional races presented more opportunities to participate and that this had been widely

welcomed by owners, trainers, breeders and jockeys. We are delighted to be able to make this change permanent.”

The order of running in 2021 will be based on 2019. The schedule in 2020 reflected the late start of the Flat season which necessitated considerable changes, mainly related to the timing of the Newmarket and Epsom Classics.

In 2021, the races being permanently added will be run as the final races on each day. The exception will be on the Saturday, where the Golden Gates Handicap will be run as race six and the meeting will conclude, as is traditional, with the Queen Alexandra Stakes. The Queen Anne Stakes will return to its usual position, opening the Royal Meeting.

Nick Smith, Director of Racing and Public Affairs at Ascot, added:

“The concept of extended cards last year was well received, and we are very pleased to be able to offer additional opportunities to the horsemen

community, the public, broadcasters and media going forward.

“At this time, more than ever, the increased opportunity to win prize money and to generate more levy and domestic and overseas betting income is crucial.

“Following consultation with the BHA, we decided to remove the two reserve races and bring in another high-quality handicap, as we are actually reducing the number of races run by one from last year, where eight races were staged on the Saturday. It occurred to us that the Old (round) Mile course is only used twice during Royal Ascot and another race on this track would add to the variety on offer.

“Royal Ascot is constantly evolving and has benefitted from many recent race additions and promotions and we are excited that the week will now be bigger and better for everyone.”

SEVEN RACE CARDS TO BE STAGED AT ROYAL ASCOT

Ascot Racecourse announced in January that Her Majesty The Queen had graciously consented to approve the extension of Royal Ascot to seven races each day from this year’s Royal Meeting.

Guy Henderson, Chief Executive Officer at Ascot Racecourse, said:

“In 2020 we had hoped to offer record prize money of more than £8 million at the Royal Meeting. In the event the pandemic made that impossible and we have now spent nearly a year racing behind closed doors with trading income down 80%. This year’s prize money of £6 million represents 75% of what we had originally planned for 2020.

“With restricted attendances in 2021 and pandemic insurance cover no longer available, the business will need to absorb a significant loss this year in order to deliver our wish to support the industry with the most prize money that we can prudently afford. Whilst Covid-19 has knocked back our long term financial trajectory by several years, our aim is to make the largest steps we can towards getting prize money levels back on track as soon as possible.

“Without owners we would have no racing. We are very grateful for their commitment and thank them for their support. We look forward to being able to increase prize money further as soon as it is possible for us to do so.

“We are also very grateful to our official partners, QIPCO and Longines, as well as our official suppliers, sponsors, broadcast partners and betting media partners. All of their support is deeply appreciated.

“We at Ascot much look forward to being able to welcome back our racegoers in June and delivering a special week of racing, both for those who are able to be with us on site and the many millions who will be with us in spirit through our broadcast and digital channels.”

£6 MILLION PRIZE MONEY AT ROYAL ASCOT 2021

Prize money for Royal Ascot 2021 will be just over £6 million across the week – a 67% increase on the £3.61m offered in 2020.

Live weather data and track conditions will once again be available for Royal Ascot in 2021 through WeatherTrax Live available on Ascot’s website - https://www.ascot.co.uk/thegoing.

Last year Ascot became the first racecourse in the UK to publish live weather data via this innovative App developed by TurfTrax which streams live meteorological data from equipment located near to the four-furlong marker on the stand side of the Straight Course.

A wealth of information including rainfall figures for the past 24 hours and seven days as well as wind speed and direction and daily evapotranspiration figures are all available in real-time.

Chris Stickels, Head of Racing and Clerk of the Course at Ascot Racecourse said:

“Last year we had excellent feedback regarding the live weather data that was used by owners, trainers, jockeys, racing followers, punters, media and broadcasters.

“The system has been in place for every raceday since Royal Ascot last year and once again people will be able to monitor weather conditions and check for Going updates remotely in real time during the 2021 Royal Meeting. With lots of people still watching the action from home we hope it will be informative and useful for those enjoying the racing all over the world.”

Alongside the WeatherTrax Live data, from 8th June daily Going reports will be provided combined with GoingStick readings coincided with the timing of entries and declarations. Going maps, rail positions and irrigation information will also be available.

For Royal Ascot, GoingStick and soil moisture data is collected independently by TurfTrax. The first assessment takes place seven days before the meeting begins, then readings are taken four days, 48hrs and 24hrs prior to the meeting and on every race day morning.

GOINGSTICK & MOISTURE READINGS PLAN:

TUESDAY 8TH JUNE GoingStick reading pre entries confirmation (reading by around 2pm)

FRIDAY 11TH JUNE Reading early afternoon

SUNDAY 13TH JUNE Reading to be completed by 8am ahead of Day One declarations

MONDAY 14TH JUNE Reading to be completed by 8am ahead of Day Two declarations

TUESDAY 15TH – SATURDAY 19TH JUNE Readings completed daily by 8am

The electromechanical GoingStick is used to measure 108 grid locations on the track including 72 on the Straight Course split across the stand, centre and far side. A further 36 measurements are taken on the Round Course.

The measurements are representative of forces exerted by the horse’s hoof when it is in contact with the ground. Additionally, a volumetric soil moisture content reading is carried out at 24 positions on the Straight Course and 36 on the Round Course.

The data is analysed each day by Ascot and TurfTrax alongside 15 years’ of historic weather and Going data to assist with irrigation planning if required.

BREEDERS’ CUP CHALLENGE RACES AT ROYAL ASCOT

Winners of the following races will earn automatic berths, travel and paid entry fees into the equivalent races at the 2021 Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Del Mar:

• The Queen Anne Stakes

BROADCASTERS AT ROYAL ASCOT

ITV Racing will bring all the excitement of five days of top class racing to everyone watching Royal Ascot in 2021. The show will once again be fronted by Ed Chamberlin and Francesca Cumani starting from 1.30pm each day with all 35 races across the week broadcast live.

Royal Ascot will be shown on the ITV main channel each day with 22 of the 35 races across the week shown on the main channel and everything else live on ITV4.

The Opening Show will also be on ITV4 each day from 9.30am to 10.30am.

NBC Sports is back for a fifth year of Royal Ascot coverage, presenting five consecutive days of coverage to U.S. horse racing fans. The first four days will feature live coverage on the NBCSN, the dedicated sports channel with the final day, Saturday 19th June live on the NBC broadcast network.

Nick Luck will return to host live on NBC providing American audiences with the storylines and intricacies of this historic event.

The World Pool will be in operation for the third time at Royal Ascot in 2021, a concept that was developed by the Hong Kong Jockey Club in collaboration with Ascot Racecourse and others to bring a new dimension to pool betting.

In 2020 with racing behind closed doors, the World Pool operated across all 36 races and saw 20 leading racing nations, including the UK, Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore, South Africa and the US betting into a single pool.

In the absence of a Bet With Ascot on course presence, the World Pool was promoted by the Tote off course as “Tote Superpools”. This created far greater liquidity for racing fans with wagers growing to £137 million, from £92.2 million in 2019. This represents a 49% increase, despite no on-course liquidity, and saw huge pools on all races with the biggest investment being £5.3 million on the Sandringham Stakes on the Thursday. In total there were 18 pools in excess of £1 million.

These record pools created some exceptional value for racing fans. The Tote Win price beat the Industry Starting Price (SP) on 19 occasions across the 36 races and with Tote Guarantee in place the Tote has matched SP on the remaining occasions. This resulted in a 9% higher return on the Tote based on placing a £1 bet on each winner during the week.

The unparalleled success of World Pool has now been extended to cover additional Ascot Racedays and also other racedays in the UK. At Ascot, QIPCO King George Diamond Day, Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Day and QIPCO British Champions Day will all now be included in the World Pool calendar and elsewhere the 2000 Guineas from Newmarket and the Epsom Derby have been added for the first time.

For our guests at Royal Ascot in 2021, the Bet With Ascot service is enhanced by being able to offer the value and stability from the huge world-wide liquidity direct to all customers. World Pool covers all bet types (excluding the First Two/Exacta although a Quinella is included) and has been extended to cover all races in 2021 regardless of field size.

Examples of World Pool Value

• £10 bet on all the winners at Royal Ascot in 2020 would have paid £4,643 versus £4,457 at SP

• World Pool beat SP in 19 of the 36 races

• A £1 winning First Three bet in the Coventry Stakes in 2020 paid £15,729

WORLD POOL IN OPERATION AGAIN AT ROYAL ASCOT

The safety and welfare of horses and jockeys is paramount throughout the year at Ascot and nowhere is this better demonstrated than in the changes made to the racing surface itself during the redevelopment (Ascot reopened in 2006).

The key elements of the project were to camber the home and old paddock bends and, crucially, to remove the road crossings over the track, replacing them with underpasses. This has created a safer racecourse for the horses, where previously some less experienced runners had occasionally shied at the differing surfaces.

Four specifically qualified equine vets (five for the major meetings including Royal Ascot), led by Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Svend Kold, are on duty every raceday at Ascot, dedicated to the welfare of all the horses. During each race, vets follow the runners by car and can respond to and attend a casualty generally within a minute – as fast as the paramedic teams responsible for human casualties.

There are two equine ambulances (three for Royal Ascot) on course at all times and three ambulances for any incidents involving injuries to jockeys.

Ascot’s two permanent veterinary boxes are supplemented with an X-Ray machine for the major meetings to assist with swift diagnosis before administration of treatment on-site or any movement necessary to equine hospitals.

The jockeys’ facilities at Ascot include a medical treatment room, rest rooms and a dedicated room for physiotherapy. During Royal Ascot, there are six doctors on site, led by Senior Racecourse

Medical Officer, Dr Peter Johnson, specifically to deal with any jockey injuries.

A £700,000 project to create a new enhanced unsaddling area, increased in size to accommodate the number of horses that run in races like the Wokingham and Royal Hunt Cup more comfortably and thereby improve equine welfare, was completed in 2016.

The Unsaddling Enclosure lawn is positioned to benefit from maximum shade from the crown of an adjacent mature tree as well as a repositioned tulip tree, which sits to the south of the oval. Equine misting fans were also installed to aid with post race cooling of horses.

In order to improve its efficiency, the Flat Course Pop-Up irrigation system underwent a £150,000 overhaul in 2017. All 300 of the pop ups around the track were replaced and a new filter system fitted to the pump station.

Together with the Injured Jockeys Fund (IJF), Ascot has installed two state of the art exercise bikes in the jockeys’ changing room to encourage jockeys to warm up sufficiently, therefore reducing the potential for injuries.

Former Champion Jockey and President of the IJF, Sir AP McCoy OBE, supported the initiative:

“As President of the IJF, I am delighted that Ascot have chosen to support the work they are doing in this way and hope the bikes help to reduce the injuries that can be sustained out on the track whilst riding. The charity is very important to me and in the past, helped with my own recovery on numerous occasions.”

ROYAL ASCOT 2021 EVENTS RESEARCH PROGRAMME INFORMATION

The ERP is being carried out by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, allowing spectators to attend a series of scientific pilot events as part of the Government’s plan to safely get big crowds back to large venues including racecourses and other sporting stadia this summer.

Working closely with local authorities and organisers, the science-led pilots are being run across a range of settings, venues and activities. Phase one included football matches at Wembley and the World Snooker Championships at the Crucible in Sheffield. As well as Royal Ascot, phase two includes an England Test match at Edgbaston and games from the UEFA European Football Championship.

All pilots are designed in a scientifically controlled way, with special consideration to reduce risk of transmission and it is being overseen by an industry-led steering group co-chaired by Nicholas Hytner and David Ross. The board will consider the evidence, including test results, from the pilot events and make recommendations to the Prime Minister and the Secretaries of State for DCMS, BEIS and DHSC on how restrictions could be safely lifted.

The pilots will explore how different approaches to social distancing, ventilation and test on entry protocols could ease opening and maximise participation. The evidence from these pilots will be used to inform and shape government policy to bring about the phased return of fuller audiences to venues and events up and down England.

Attendees will be subject to scientifically and ethically designed pre- and post-event monitoring to gather evidence associated with different settings and approaches to managing and mitigating transmission risk.

Attendees must produce a negative COVID-19 Lateral Flow Test result from that day or the day before to enter the scientific pilot event. Testing will largely be delivered through the existing community testing network, with results validated by the event organisers before ticket-holders are admitted to the venue.

Attendees are also asked to take pre- and post-event home PCRs tests, carried out to inform the research. There is no cost to any attendees for the required COVID-19 testing.

On 26th May it was announced that Royal Ascot would form part of the Government’s Events Research Programme (ERP), allowing 12,000 people to be admitted to each day of Royal Ascot.

As part of the conditions of the ERP, COVID-19 restrictions currently in place across the country will be disapplied around the perimeter of the racecourse.

That means social distancing rules will be relaxed, allowing for the following:

• Tables of up to 10 permitted in hospitality

• Vertical drinking permitted

• Restaurant tables slightly closer than under current social distancing rules

• Gangways in restaurants also reduced although still lots of room around furniture

• Wearing of face coverings will not be mandated indoors

Staff and working personnel are not part of the ERP and will be subject to COVID-19 regulations as set out by the Government guidelines.

The Racing Green Zone is still in existence covering key indoor areas including the Weighing Room. Social distancing and the wearing of face coverings is still required in the parade ring. Owners will be permitted into the parade ring but there remains a reduced capacity limit.

COMPLIMENTARY ROYAL ASCOT TICKETS MADE AVAILABLE TO LOCAL COMMUNITY

Following confirmation that Royal Ascot would form part of the next phase of the Government’s Events Research Programme with capacity for the event set at 12,000 per day, a number of Queen Anne (general admission) tickets were set aside for the local community.

As Royal Ascot will be part of the Government’s Event Research Programme, it will be necessary to close the Heath to the public from 10.00 hrs on Tuesday, 15th June until 22.00 hrs on Saturday, 19th June 2021.

An attendance of 12,000 ticketed spectators will be admitted each day and all will be required to produce negative

Covid tests to access the site. To control site capacity and ensure that the testing regime is effective, Heath access will not be possible from the start to the end of the event.

It remains the racecourse’s firm intention to allow members of the local community back onto the Heath on racedays as soon as it is possible to do so.

To ensure that the local community is represented at Royal Ascot, a ballot was held using postcodes within a three mile radius of the racecourse with more than 500 tickets allocated throughout the week to local residents.

“The local community have been incredibly understanding of the continued closure of the Heath on racedays and we are asking for patience for a little bit longer,” said Nick Smith, Director of Racing and Public Affairs at Ascot Racecourse.

“Although attendance at Royal Ascot this year will be akin to a small winter Saturday in numbers terms, we really want to make sure that some tickets are set aside as gifts to those who live in the area.”

10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ROYAL ASCOT STYLE GUIDE

Royal Ascot is a highlight of the British summer season and, after a year of uncertainty and lockdowns, it will truly herald the return of occasionwear when it opens its doors this year. Its annual celebration of the very best of British contemporary and traditional fashion and style will be one of the first occasions where Britain can get dressed up and this year, Royal Ascot is keen to emphasise sustainable fashion and the art of ‘shopping your wardrobe’.

A collaboration with legendary stylist Bay Garnett features garments sourced from charity shops, nearly new boutiques, vintage emporiums, and re-sale websites.

Queen of Thrifting, Bay Garnett pioneered the idea of shopping in second-hand stores as being relevant to high fashion. Working with Ascot, Bay sourced feature looks by well-known names such as Chanel, Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent from Rellik, Cancer Care, eBay, Found & Vision, My Wardrobe HQ and Circle of Style.

Visionary photographer Tom Craig brought his creative eye to the campaign with the duo creating images that elevate the world of pre-loved fashion. Through this year’s Royal Ascot Style Guide, Ascot is keen to demonstrate to racing followers around the world that the Royal Meeting is about looking your best – and that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to buy something brand new. This is particularly relevant in today’s climate when the pandemic has affected so many around the globe.

Bay Garnett comments: “Royal Ascot is one of the most glamorous and traditional events of British sporting life. To have an opportunity to bring second hand into this context was super exciting and I jumped at the chance! This is exactly the sort of event that can change the perception around second hand clothes. I hope that this year’s Style Guide shows that by buying second hand, it is not only a better choice for the environment but is also a way to dress in a fun, individual and stylish way.”

Ascot Racecourse celebrates new season trends and the sustainable fashion movement with its 10th Royal Ascot Style Guide, in association with Longines.

19

For 2021, the Royal Enclosure Style Guide features British brands, paying homage to the incredible talent and style found across the nation, as well as established international names. Featured looks throughout include pieces from Alessandra Rich, Erdem, Simone Rocha, Alexander McQueen, Manolo Blahnik, Zeynep Kartal, Ashish, Zimmerman, Taller Marmo, Garrard and Longines.

Sustainable fashion can be found throughout the Style Guide from labels including L.K.Bennett, Galvan, Monsoon, Hobbs, Hugo Boss, Essen, and Hasanova @ Wolf & Badger. These are labels which follow ethical practices, give fair wages, use natural / organic fibres, or modern materials which cause less stress on the environment.

For gentlemen, classic tailoring, light summer suits, and ties in pastel shades come to the forefront of formal wear. Recognising emerging trends in formal menswear, navy morning suits are now permitted in the Royal Enclosure. Featured brands include Favourbrook, Oliver Brown and Harrys of London.

The Royal Ascot Style Guide features millinery from the likes of Philip Treacy OBE, Stephen Jones OBE, Edwina Ibbotson, Lock & Co, Sarah Cant, Rachel Trevor-Morgan, Jane Taylor, Awon Golding, Lisa Tan, Vivien Sheriff, Victoria Grant and Justine

Bradley-Hill. This year face coverings are featured from Rachel Trevor-Morgan and Marks & Spencer.

These images were created in conjunction with stylist Nicole Smallwood, Fashion Director at Country & Town House, and fashion photographer Rachell Smith.

Felicity Barnard, Commercial Director, Ascot Racecourse, comments: “We anticipate Royal Ascot 2021 will be an important event in this year’s calendar as the highest profile formal occasionwear outing in Britain for over a year. The event is known for setting the trends but more than anything, we see 2021 as an opportunity to celebrate with friends and family.

“We have chosen this year’s 10th anniversary Style Guide to shine a spotlight on pre-loved fashion and encourage racegoers to ‘shop their wardrobes’. We were thrilled with the images Bay and Tom produced for 2021. They demonstrate that Royal Ascot is an elite sporting event but that dressing for the occasion is not in itself an elite sport.

“We look forward to celebrating the festivities with everyone, be they with us at the racecourse or watching all the action from home.”

SIXTH ANNUAL ROYAL ASCOT MILLINERY COLLECTIVE

On Thursday 6th May we were delighted to launch the 2021 Millinery Collective in partnership with Fenwick. Joining forces with some of Britain’s best milliners, the 10-strong collection showcases designs from established and world-renowned milliners as well as exciting and emerging new talent.

Designs have been made exclusively for the collective by milliners including: Philip Treacy OBE, Stephen Jones OBE, Rachel Trevor-Morgan, Jane Taylor, Julian Garner, Victoria Grant, Juliette Botterill, Emily London, Beverley Edmondson and Rosie Olivia.

Innovative millinery has always played an intrinsic part of the Royal Meeting and this year’s Collective has provided a platform to celebrate the best of British millinery after a challenging year for these artisan designers due to Covid-19.

Each designer has a strong affiliation with horse racing and has been integral in launching this beautiful collection with many of the designs drawing inspiration from nature which has been such a welcome retreat for so many of us over the past year.

Royal Ascot is always a showcase of incredible creativity and style, and although this year’s event will see a much smaller attendance than in usual times, we are pleased to be shining a light on what is an iconic part of racing fashion.

In the spirit of conscious shopping – as highlighted in this year’s Style Guide – we are encouraging people to view millinery as an investment that can last a lifetime.

The Royal Ascot Millinery Collective is available exclusively at Fenwick of Bond Street.

ROYAL ASCOT AT HOME 2020 SHORTLISTED FOR ‘VIRTUAL EVENT OF THE YEAR’

IN #SIAWARDS2021

Ascot Racecourse has been recognised for its innovation in virtual event delivery making the Official Shortlist of the Sport Industry Awards 2021 in the ‘Virtual Event of the Year’ category alongside Formula 1’s Virtual GP Series, the Virtual 2020 Virgin Money London Marathon, LTA’s Battle of the Brits, UFC’s Fight Island and Matchroom’s Fight Camp.

As one of the world’s first major sporting events to take place in 2020, Royal Ascot went ‘behind closed doors’ for the first time in the event’s history. Adapting to the ‘new normal’, Ascot reimagined five days of unparalleled racing, sartorial elegance, pageantry, and all-round sense of occasion to connect with its global audiences in a purely digital way, leading to the launch of the Royal Ascot at Home campaign.

Attracting many of the world’s finest racehorses, jockeys and trainers to compete for millions of pounds in prize money, top-class racing is at the very heart of the Royal Meeting.

Up to 350 million households tuned in for all the thrilling sporting action from home while engaging with the brand online and participating in ‘Royal Ascot at Home’ through a range of digital activations each day.

The campaign integrated many digital-first initiatives across the week and a fundraising campaign resulted in more than £167,000 being raised for charities supporting those working on the frontline of the global pandemic.

Felicity Barnard, Commercial Director at Ascot Racecourse commented: “We are so incredibly proud of the Ascot team who delivered an extraordinary five-day event under very trying

circumstances and are delighted to be in the running for this prestigious accolade.

“As one of the first major sporting events to return to televisions around the world, we knew more eyes would be on us than ever before – despite the event running behind closed doors.

“We are extremely grateful to our loyal customers, who have been so patient and understanding throughout the past year, and our fantastic brand partners, who have worked alongside us to create engaging content that

connects with horse racing spectators digitally while we have been unable to welcome people to the racecourse.”

Winners will be announced at a ceremony in London on 8th September 2021.

ARMED FORCES WILL BE OFFICIAL CHARITIES FOR ROYAL ASCOT 2021

The three principal single Service Armed Forces charities, comprising the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity, ABF The Soldiers’ Charity and the RAF Benevolent Fund, will be the official

nominated charity partners for Royal Ascot 2021.

The charities have traditionally been supported and promoted on the Friday of Royal Ascot, with more than £20,000 normally raised from bucket collections alone on the day.

This year they will have an extended presence across the five days of the Royal Meeting to help them raise much needed funds which have been impacted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ascot Racecourse will work in partnership with the Armed Forces charities to raise awareness of their work by promoting the personal stories of their servicemen and women through digital content, on-course activations and in the Royal Ascot racecard.

As in previous years, Ascot Racecourse will be making a donation from the sale of certain food and beverage in addition to a donation of 1% of sales by our concessionaires on the Friday of Royal Ascot.

Ascot Racecourse will also be making a donation from the sale of its Royal Ascot Hampers which are available to purchase from the Online Ascot Shop. £5 for each two-person hamper sold and £10 for each six-person hamper sold will be donated to the Armed Forces charities.

Nick Smith, Director of Racing and Public Affairs, said: “We are delighted to confirm this charity partnership with the Armed Forces charities for Royal Ascot this year.

“Typically, racegoers really engage with the three charities on the Friday and it will be fantastic to see some of the military personnel and volunteers back on site.

“Having been unable to welcome them last year due to the pandemic, we are really pleased to extend our relationship across all five days and look forward to helping them raise much needed funds and awareness of the work they do.”

Brigadier Peter Walker OBE, Chairman of ABF The Soldiers’ Charity in Berkshire, said: “The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity, ABF The Soldiers’ Charity and the RAF Benevolent Fund are delighted to be the official nominated charity partners for Royal Ascot 2021.

“The three charities have been working with Ascot Racecourse at Royal Ascot since 2013 and it is with great pleasure that we are able to continue and strengthen our relationship this year.

“The members of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Army and RAF who will be at Royal Ascot are very much looking forward to the event, and the three charities would like to thank everyone involved for their support which helps to assist Armed Forces personnel, both past and present, in times of need.”

Ryan Moore, one of the leading Flat jockeys in the world who has ridden more than 60 Royal Ascot winners, once again spent time selecting his favourite. Ryan, who is the Ascot Racecourse Supports Racing Ambassador, picked out five-year-old Reegan Rogers’ effort as his favourite, which showed a horse crossing the finishing line at Royal Ascot.

Ryan Moore said, “It was fantastic to be involved in the Local Schools Royal Ascot Art Competition once again and I was very impressed with lots of the entries.

“It’s great to see so many young people engaging with horse racing in this way and hopefully they will follow the sport for many years to come. If some of them don’t go on to become artists hopefully they might be inspired to work in racing.

“I was particularly impressed with Reegan’s effort which captured everything that makes Royal Ascot so special.”

ASCOT RACECOURSE AND SAMSUNG

ROYAL ASCOT DESIGN

COMPETITIONAs part of our Ascot Racecourse Supports schools engagement programme, this year we collaborated with Samsung, our technical supplier to deliver a competition that combined the design functionality of Samsung’s Flipchart technology with the creative talents of local secondary school students.

The young designers were tasked with creating an outfit, complete with hat, that could be worn in the Queen Anne Enclosure at Royal Ascot 2021 with the ultimate prize of having their winning design judged and manufactured by Royal Ascot designer, Zeynep Kartal and their hat made by Farnham-based milliner, Beverley Edmondson.

Samsung kindly made a permanent donation of the innovative Flipcharts to the three local secondary schools invited to participate - Charters School, Sunningdale; Brakenhale School, Bracknell; and Ranelagh School, Bracknell. Each school was invited to submit their top three designs.

Isobel Butler, aged 17, from Ranelagh School was announced the winner and her fabulous design, from beginning to end, can be seen here. We look forward to following Isobel’s career path as we have clearly found a talented designer in the making.

LEADING BETTING FIRMS AGREETO DONATE PROFITS FROM BRITANNIA STAKES AGAIN

Some of the UK’s top charities are in line for a major cash boost after the country’s biggest betting operators agreed to donate all of their profits from the Britannia Stakes, run on Thursday, 17th June.

Prostate Cancer UK, Marie Curie, the three Armed Forces charities and Care Radio will all benefit as members of the Betting and Gaming Council including Flutter (Paddy Power, Betfair, Sky Bet), bet365, Entain (Ladbrokes, Coral), William Hill, Kindred (Unibet), BetVictor, Betway, Rank Group (Grosvenor Sport), the Tote and Fitzdares have all signed up to the fundraising initiative.

They will hand over all profits they make from win and each-way bets, after levy and duties are deducted, on the big-field Heritage Handicap. And if they do not make a profit on the race, the operators have agreed to make a donation to the charities.

It follows the success of last year’s Britannia Stakes fundraising drive, when £250,000 was raised for a range of good causes.

The BGC hopes the initiative will help punters enjoy a race where, even if they lose, charities are guaranteed to win.

Michael Dugher, chief executive of the Betting and Gaming Council, said: “I am absolutely delighted that the BGC’s largest members are once again leading this fantastic initiative, which will raise vital funds for some of the country’s top charities.

“Racing is a sport that has the power to bring people together and Royal Ascot is one of the great highlights of the calendar. Millions of people enjoy a flutter and I’m proud that betting companies will donate their profits from one of Royal Ascot’s top races to go towards some brilliant causes that will help so many people from across the country.”

Alastair Warwick, managing director at Ascot Racecourse, said: “We are thrilled that the betting industry will once again be donating profits from the Britannia Stakes to these very worthy charities.

“Run on Gold Cup day, the Britannia Stakes is always one of the biggest betting heats of the week and extremely popular with punters, so hopefully lots of money will be raised at a time when it is much needed in light of the impact COVID-19 has had on charity fundraising efforts.”

The Armed Forces charities who will all benefit from the race are the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity, the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) - The Army’s National Charity -

and the RAF Benevolent Fund.

Brigadier Peter Walker OBE, Chairman of ABF The Soldiers’ Charity for Berkshire, said: “The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity, ABF The Soldiers’ Charity and the RAF Benevolent Fund would like to thank the members of the Betting and Gaming Council for very kindly agreeing to make a donation to the three Armed Forces charities during Royal Ascot.

“The charities, who will be represented by Service men and women at Royal Ascot throughout the race meeting, work tirelessly to assist military personnel, past and present, and their families in times of need with a wide range of practical, emotional and financial support. They would not, however, be able to provide this vital level of care without assistance and thus this very kind offer from the betting operators is very much appreciated.”

Matthew Reed, chief executive of Marie Curie, said: “This is an incredible gesture and we are grateful to be benefitting from the generosity of everyone involved.

“Across the past year, Marie Curie has been needed more than ever, providing more care to people in their homes during the pandemic and all while our fundraising activities were heavily restricted. Money raised will help ensure Marie Curie Nurses can continue to be there to provide end of life care for those who need it most.”

Nicola Tallett, Director of Fundraising & Supporter Engagement for Prostate Cancer UK, said: “I would once again like to thank everyone at the Betting and Gaming Council and their members for their incredibly kind gesture in helping donate vital funds to Prostate Cancer UK for a second successive year.

“Around 400,000 men are living with prostate cancer; it’s the most common cancer in men, and thanks to this wonderful support we are able to continue our lifesaving research into treatments and better tests to stop the disease being a killer, while also supporting men and their loved ones.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has made living with a diagnosis harder, but hard times show what people stand for. When the future is uncertain and the choices are tough, we stand for men with prostate cancer. We thank everyone involved for their continued support.”

Hedley Finn, chairman of Care Radio – the UK’s first station dedicated to the country’s nine million carers - said: “We are delighted that members of the Betting and Gaming Council have once again agreed to donate their profits from this year’s race to a selection of good causes, including Care Radio. This is a wonderful gesture and will help Care Radio, the country’s first radio station dedicated to those who care and those they care for, reach out to and support many more carers and their families.”

Geoffrey Dashwood was born in Hampshire, England in 1947. At the age of fifteen he won a scholarship to study fine art at Southampton College of Art, but left after a brief period, preferring to study directly from nature. He worked in varied occupations to support himself and experimented in various art mediums and techniques in his spare time. His last employment was with the Forestry Commission, engaged as a keeper in the New Forest, where he also became the unofficial artist in residence for his employers. Dashwood left the Forestry Commission in his mid-twenties to pursue a freelance career in art and soon received commissions for illustrations and design work, whilst concurrently drawing and painting independently.

In the 1980s Dashwood discovered a gift and a passion for sculpture. His earliest works were small, highly realistic studies in the mainstream of traditional English wildlife art and comparable in style to the famous 19th century French Animalier School of Sculpture.

Dashwood started to experiment with larger life-size and monumental works and began to eliminate all superfluous details, creating boldly modelled pieces. He refined his sculptures to attain smooth, tactile, pure forms, further enhanced in bronze by the application of coloured and multi-coloured patinas. In these sculptures he combined his own aesthetic ideals, establishing a distinctive style which is now internationally recognised as being quintessentially Dashwood.

Although his body of work can be classified within the wildlife art genre it is generally considered by many to transcend the subject matter and has also firmly established acceptance within the wider field of contemporary art. His affinity for and empathy with birds and his unique ability to express these emotions to others through his sculpture is undisputed. Dashwood’s work is exhibited and collected worldwide.

His works are held in the finest public and private collections around the world, and can be viewed with Muse Sculpture Co at Luckman Park, Wiltshire or at major art and decorative fairs.

Hamish Mackie‘s early years were spent on the family farm in Cornwall where from an early age he was tasked with many of the farm duties, including looking after the livestock.

Whilst schooling at Radley College his sculpture teacher acknowledged and encouraged Mackie’s strength in capturing the dynamic animal form. Mackie made his first sale during his A-level show: two clay lambs for £50 to a family friend.

After university, Mackie travelled extensively in Africa, and in 1995 he took a job in a hunting camp in Zimbabwe. He observed how environment impacts character, particularly the distinction between a wild animal and one in captivity. Face to face with African wildlife, the urge to sculpt overcame him and he created a cheetah head out of beeswax and paraffin.

Mackie returned to the UK determined to sculpt full-time. He was accepted into the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition followed by his first solo show with Fanshawe Somerset, London.

HAMISH MACKIE

Ammonite Cretaceous, 265cm high, Bronze world edition of 9.

Mackie’s world renowned animal sculptures are distinctive for a highly accurate anatomical core covered by a loose, almost impressionistic skin. His sculpting style is underpinned by a striking sympathy with animal kind.

The monumental Ammonite Cretaceous is the second of Hamish Mackie’s exploration into timelessness of man’s fascination with the beauty of found objects.

His works are held in the finest public and private collections around the world, and can be viewed with Muse Sculpture Co at Luckman Park, Wiltshire or at major art and decorative fairs.

Philip Jackson lives and works in West Sussex where he divides his time between producing gallery sculpture and public commissions. He has recently completed a major sculpture which is the central feature of a memorial to the 55,500 men of Bomber Command that died during World War II. It was unveiled in Green Park, London, on 28th June 2012 by The Queen.

Philip Jackson’s gallery works have the ability to convey the human condition through the skilful use of body language. Whether with robed, masked or faceless figures reminiscent of 18th century Venetian procurators, graceful, delicately poised works such as Saraband, or the prestigious, figuratively detailed monumental public social figures for which he is often commissioned, Philip Jackson’s work moves people. Imposing and operatic both in narrative and in their presence, Jackson’s works are powerful and beautifully sculpted.

Philip Jackson has produced some of Britain’s best known public sculptures including the figure of the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother for her National Monument in The Mall, which was unveiled by The Queen in 2009. Works outside of London include the equestrian sculpture of The Queen in Windsor Great Park, the Falklands War sculpture for the Royal Marines at Portsmouth, St Richard outside Chichester Cathedral, Constantine the Great at York Minster and also Empress Elizabeth of Austria in Geneva.

The Young Mozart bronze is the only known copy of the monument in Orange sq. Belgravia, commissioned to commemorate Mozart’s bi-centenary, unveiled in 1994 by HRH Princess Margaret.

His works are held in the finest public and private collections around the world, and can be viewed with Muse Sculpture Co at Luckman Park, Wiltshire or at major art and decorative fairs.

Jane Shaw’s love of sculpture began when she was at school in Gloucestershire where she was very fortunate to have a great sculpture teacher, who saved her from the hot-house of academia and has been a great inspiration even to this day.

After completing a degree in History of Art at Manchester University, Jane spent her early career with a London firm of Fine Art Valuers and Consultants travelling and living abroad before returning to London to set up and run a recruitment company, which she then sold after a decade.

On moving to Dorset in 2013, she revived her love for sculpture inspired by her lifelong interest in wildlife and the outdoors. Jane is passionate about capturing the overall emotion and movement of animals and wildlife in her bronze sculptures.

JANE SHAW

Electric Blue Hare, 176cm long, 71cm high, Bronze world edition of 8.

Her focus is to portray the character and emotion of each individual animal by using fluid, spontaneous and strong gestural strokes in any material she uses. Often working directly from life, she produces bronzes for both inside the home as well as garden pieces on a larger scale.

Jane’s total passion for her work, has led her to win several sculpture awards, and continues with her own sculpture projects alongside commissions, mainly focusing on wildlife and animals.

Her works are held in private collections around the world, and can be viewed with Muse Sculpture Co at Luckman Park, Wiltshire or at major art and decorative fairs.

HISTORY

45

REMEMBERING PRINCE KHALID ABDULLAH

L egendary owner-breeder Prince Khalid Abdullah died aged 83 at the beginning of this year. His

legacy in the sport stretches far and wide with his famous green, white and pink silks carried to victory by so many of the sport’s great horses.

Those horses often came to the fore at Royal Ascot with the likes of Kingman, Byword, Banks Hill, Danehill and of course the incomparable Frankel carrying his colours to victory.

Prince Khalid Abdullah owned 41 Royal Ascot winners in total, starting with Abeer in the 1979 Queen Mary Stakes, his first Group winner. That was just two years after he purchased his first yearlings which kick-started his plans for what would become an international breeding operation.

The Royal Ascot winners flowed fairly regularly from the early 1980s, including a remarkable six at the 1989 Royal Meeting. They included several of the highest profile races with Warning in the Queen Anne Stakes, Two Timing in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes and Danehill in the then Cork and Orrery Stakes (now the Diamond Jubilee Stakes).

Those three races were not run at Group 1 level at the time though and his first top-

level success at Royal Ascot came in 2001 when Banks Hill, trained by Andre Fabre, won the Coronation Stakes.

Fabre was also responsible for Byword, who won the 2010 Prince of Wales’s Stakes, leading home a memorable 1-2 in the Group 1 feature race on the Wednesday for Prince Khalid with Twice Over second.

In 2011 he was Champion Owner for the third and final time helped of course by Frankel in his three-year-old career under the guidance of Sir Henry Cecil. Having blown the field away in the 2,000 Guineas he arrived at Royal Ascot for the St James’s Palace Stakes as a red-hot favourite to extend his unbeaten run to a perfect seven.

All seemed to be going to plan as Tom Queally sent him to the front and he was six lengths clear with two furlongs to run. It turned out to be a dramatic finish though as Zoffany stayed on strongly and got to within three parts of a length of Frankel who just held on.

He returned a year later as a four-year-old to contest the Queen Anne Stakes and produced one of the most jaw-dropping performances ever seen at Royal Ascot. Positioned perfectly behind his pace maker, Bullet Train, Queally edged Frankel to the

front from the halfway point before he opened up in stunning style to produce a brilliant 11 length victory.

Frankel continues to have an impact on the sport through his progeny and he recorded a first Royal Ascot winner as a sire when Without Parole won the St James’s Palace Stakes in 2018 while Monarchs Glen won the Wolferton Stakes that same year in Prince Khalid’s silks.

Just two years after Frankel, Prince Khalid had another star on his hands in Kingman. Agonisingly beaten in the 2,000 Guineas, he set the record straight at Royal Ascot when winning the St James’s Palace Stakes in devastating fashion under James Doyle. Retired at three, Kingman has since produced three Royal Ascot winners himself in Palace Pier as well as Sangarius and Calyx in the Juddmonte colours, so his legacy lives on and will continue to grow.

In total, Prince Khalid recorded more than 500 Group level victories around the world, including 118 at Group 1 level with five of those coming at Royal Ascot.

His colours continue to be carried under the Juddmonte name and no doubt there will be many more Royal Ascot victories to celebrate.

REMEMBERING SHEIKH HAMDAN AL MAKTOUM

S heikh Hamdan Al Maktoum passed away in March of this year aged 75. He was one of the most influential

figures in British racing through the ownership of thousands of horses as well as supporting the sport in this country through sponsorship and owning equine property and bloodstock through the Shadwell breeding enterprises.

In 2020 he was crowned leading owner at Royal Ascot for the first time with six individual winners, all partnered by his retained jockey Jim Crowley. His final winner at the Royal Meeting was Khaloosy, trained by Roger Varian, which took is total number of Royal Ascot winners to 46.

The first of those came in 1985 when Al Bahathri won the Coronation Stakes. Sent off the 4/6 favourite she stumbled on the turn for home but jockey Tony Murray managed to get her balanced again and she won by a length for trainer Henry Thomson Jones.

His most memorable Royal Ascot winner for many will be Dayjur, the quite brilliant sprinter who lit up the Royal Meeting when winning the King’s Stand in 1990. He led from start to finish and bolted clear in the final two furlongs to finish two and a half lengths ahead of Ron’s Victory and with a further six lengths back to the rest of the field. To this day Dayjur remains the benchmark to which modern sprinters are compared to and he remained Sheikh Hamdan’s favourite horse.

Also in 1990 he won the Gold Cup for the only time with Ashal who sprung a minor shock under Richard Hills in rain-softened ground. It was a first Group 1 success for Hills and the pair never looked in danger having entered the final straight with a clear lead.

He won all eight Group 1 contests at Royal Ascot, although some were not at Group 1 level at the time and in total he claimed 18 of the 22 Pattern and Listed races now

on the racing programme. Muhtarram won back-to-back renewals of the Prince of Wales’s Stakes in 1994 and 1995 while Nayef also won the race for him in 2003 at Group 1 level.

Ghanaati is no doubt one of the most talented horses to carry the famous blue and white silks and she followed up her 1,000 Guineas victory by winning the Coronation Stakes in 2009. One of her progeny, Afaak, won the Royal Hunt Cup ten years later in 2019.

Most recently the destructive Battaash was his flagship horse and he finally got his Royal Ascot success last year when winning the King’s Stand Stakes at the third attempt.

Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum remains the leading owner in no fewer than six of the Royal Ascot contests and with his horses now running under the Shadwell Estate Company banner there will no doubt be many more Royal Ascot winners carrying those distinguished silks.

REMEMBERING JOE MERCER

L egendary Flat jockey Joe Mercer passed away in May this year at the age of 86. He is widely considered

one of the finest jockeys to grace the sport and in particular remembered for his near perfect partnership with Brigadier Gerard.

Unbeaten as a two-year-old before defeating Mill Reef in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket, Brigadier Gerard was not at his best in defeating three rivals in the 1971 St James’s Palace Stakes, getting up in the final strides on rain softened ground to deny the front-running Sparkler.

A year later Mercer and Brigadier Gerard returned to Royal Ascot to deliver a far more memorable performance when winning the Prince of Wales’s Stakes by five lengths in a course record time. That came just two days after Mercer had been involved in a plane crash during take-off from Newbury Racecourse. The pilot was killed and Mercer had been lucky to survive, rescuing three other passengers including trainer Bill Marshall.

In July of 1972, Brigadier Gerard returned to Ascot to run over a mile and a half for the first time in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. He won by one

and a half lengths from Parnell, surviving a stewards enquiry having hung right in the closing stages.

In a career lasting 35 years Mercer rode 2,810 winners in Britain between 1950 and 1985, placing him seventh on the all-time list of leading Flat jockeys. That included in excess of 25 winners at Royal Ascot with the first of those coming on Festoon in the 1954 Coronation Stakes. He remains the joint-most successful jockey in the race with four winners in total.

Mercer’s skills as a jockey, which saw him ride with unparalleled balance and sense of timing, showed up particularly well in long distance races. That judgement of pace came to the fore in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot twice as he guided Parbury to victory in the Royal Meeting’s most prestigious race for Derrick Candy in 1967 and then the mighty Le Moss in 1980.

Born in Bradford and one of eight children, Mercer also had some talented siblings. His elder brother Manny was his biggest inspiration having himself burst onto the scene as an apprentice jockey in 1947 when winning the Lincolnshire Handicap (now the Lincoln and run at Doncaster) on

100/1 outsider Jockey Treble.

He became one of the leading riders in the country before he was tragically killed in a fall on the way to the start at Ascot in 1959 aged just 29. The Manny Mercer Apprentice Handicap is still run at Ascot in his memory at the opening Flat meeting of the season.

Joe was persuaded to carry on riding by his father-in-law and fellow jockey Harry Carr. Over the next four decades he would ride for Jack Colling, Dick Hern and then Sir Henry Cecil winning almost all of the big races in Britain, although the Derby alluded him.

He became champion jockey in 1979 at the age of 45 for the one and only time, riding 164 winners in that season while based with Cecil. That included a fabulous four winners at Royal Ascot that year including Kris in the St James’s Palace Stakes and One In A Million in the Coronation Stakes.

He retired in 1985 aged 51. His final Royal Ascot winner came that year on Marouble in the Norfolk Stakes. He ended his career in perfect fashion by riding Bold Rex to win the November Handicap at Doncaster.

48

In his retirement he was racing manager to Maktoum Al Maktoum’s Gainsborough Stud for 19 years. During that time he managed horses owned by the eldest of the Maktoum brothers and his associates, guiding the careers of multiple Royal Ascot winners including Royal Applause in the race now known as the Diamond Jubilee Stakes, No Excuse Needed in the Queen Anne Stakes and Storming Home in the King Edward VII Stakes.

Arguably the best horse to emerge from Gainsborough Stud during that period was Mana Al Maktoum’s champion miler Zilzal who won the Jersey Stakes in 1989 and went on to win the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes later that year. When Sheikh Maktoum died in January 2006 Mercer retired two months later.

“Black” Royal Ascots Queen Victoria died aged 81 on January 22, 1901, bringing her then record 63-year reign to a close.

As the nation remained in mourning, Royal Ascot that year was held in a sombre mood with the Royal Stand closed and the racecard featuring a black border. Dressing in black was also the order of the day, although it was recorded in The Times that by the Thursday, when the Gold Cup was run, “a number of ladies who were in black on the first two days had assumed a more modified form of mourning, as there were many dresses of white, lavender and mauve, although not enough to impart any colour to the scene.”

The new Sovereign, King Edward VII, was also absent from the Royal meeting in 1901, although this was on account of his own illness. His extreme discomfort turned out to be appendicitis and also resulted in his Coronation, scheduled for a fortnight after Royal Ascot, to be postponed.

King Edward VII, a great devotee of the turf, himself died on May 6, 1910 at the age of 68. Royal Ascot again saw an overwhelming dominance of black attire, with the Daily

Mirror recording “Strange and striking were the contrasts at Ascot. The most splendid fete of the year usually had now its dominant note in mourning. No member of royalty was present, the King’s pavilion had drawn blinds and closed doors, and the occupants of the Royal Enclosure were in black, unrelieved save where ladies wore white flowers or had strings of pearls as the only ornament.”

WHEN ROYAL ASCOT WASN’T QUITE THE SAME…..

Last year Royal Ascot was held behind closed doors without spectators for the first time ever, marking another unique chapter in the racecourse’s history. This year the colour of racing’s premier European Flat meeting will return as Ascot opens it’s gates

to spectators for the first time in more than 15 months. It won’t quite be like normal yet but one day those lucky 12,000 each day will be able to say they were there for a special Royal Ascot, very much like…

50

The two World WarsRoyal Ascot was held as normal in 1914. However, it was just nine days after its conclusion on June 28 that Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo, setting in motion the First World War. Royal Ascot would not return until 1919. In the intervening years, the racecourse played host to a number of different functions including an army recruitment office, military hospital, medical supplies depot and a base for the Royal Flying Corps. A cinema for servicemen was opened on the Heath and made available to the public in the evenings.

Similarly, World War II resulted in Royal Ascot being suspended between 1940 and 1945, with the Grandstand providing accommodation for gunners of the Royal Artillery. Some of the Royal Ascot races were transferred to Newmarket during World War II, while The Jockey Club staged some fixtures at Ascot in 1943 and 1944.

A Whit Monday card at Ascot was staged on May 21, 1945, with Princess Elizabeth, our future Queen, in attendance. Although no Royal Ascot took place in 1945, various races were staged at the course later in the summer. The Coventry Stakes and Queen Mary Stakes were held at a one-day fixture in June, with the Gold Cup and Royal Hunt Cup held in July. A meeting in August played host to the Britannia Stakes and Wokingham.

When Royal Ascot did return in 1946, severe austerity and rationing meant that the dress code switched from morning dress to lounge suits and service dress. The Royal Procession was restricted to Tuesday and Thursday.

Industrial StrifeThroughout the 1970s, from the Three-Day Week to the Winter of Discontent, strikes were a very regular news item.

Racing was not immune, with the bitter Stable Lads Strike taking place over 10 weeks between the April and July of 1975.

Although Royal Ascot was spared the ugly scenes that had blighted the Guineas Meeting at Newmarket in May, there was a march by stable lads on the course itself and pickets were in evidence outside the racecourse. The outside broadcast staff of the BBC were largely unwilling to cross picket lines, meaning that there was no television coverage of Royal Ascot in 1975. The racing itself was unaffected with those in attendance treated to the usual top-quality fare, headed by Lester Piggott teaming up with the great Sagaro for the first of the horse’s three Gold Cup victories.

The dispute was finally resolved with the establishment of the Stable Lads’ Association, with assistance from John Oaksey and Jimmy Hill. The organisation subsequently changed its name to the National Association of Stable Staff and is now known as the National Association of Racing Staff. Resolution came in time for TV coverage of the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes on July 26, which saw the “Race of the Century” between Grundy and Bustino.

Foot & MouthIn 2001, the UK experienced its first outbreak of foot and mouth disease since 1967. The first case was officially confirmed in Essex on February 21 and by February 27 all racing was suspended for seven days. Guidelines were issued by the then BHB (now BHA) for restarting racing at the start of March. Racing’s resumption was very much on a case by case basis and dependent on whether racecourses were situated in an exclusion zone. The biggest casualty was the Cheltenham Festival, which had to be cancelled.

Racing had largely returned to normal by the time of Royal Ascot in June, although disinfection procedures remained in place for those in attendance. The main consequence for racegoers was having to walk over mats which had been soaked with disinfectant as they entered racecourses. Given the abundance of high fashion and high heels at Royal Ascot, this provided photographers with some unusual images!

General ElectionGreat Britain went to the polls on June 7, 2001, with Tony Blair’s Labour securing a second successive victory. The knock-on effect was that the State Opening of Parliament following the election took place on June 20 – day two of Royal Ascot.

The carriages and horses used for the Royal Procession were required for the State Opening of Parliament, as well as a rehearsal the preceding day. The result was that the Royal Procession was restricted to just Thursday and Friday. Her Majesty still attended the first two days, arriving at the racecourse by car in time for racing.

Royal Ascot goes north Ascot Racecourse underwent its £220 million redevelopment between September 2004 and June 2006.

An alternative venue had to be found for Royal Ascot in 2005. It was the spectacular northern gem, York Racecourse, that was the beneficiary, with the full five-day programme transferred in its entirety to the Knavesmire. The Queen and her family attended every day, the Royal Procession began proceedings, and the Royal Enclosure operated as normal.

The transfer also brought about a change to York Racecourse, with a round course being incorporated for the first time to accommodate the Gold Cup and Queen Alexandra Stakes. The new round course is used to this day.

It proved to be an excellent five days at York, with memorable victories for Shamardal in the St James’s Palace Stakes, Westerner in the Gold Cup and success for Hong Kong in the Golden Jubilee Stakes, courtesy of Cape Of Good Hope.

Without question, born out of necessity though it was, Royal Ascot at York was one of the most special renewals of the historic meeting. The local community and city embraced the event fully and those fortunate enough to attend still remember it like the Olympics coming to town.

Behind closed doorsWhen the COVID-19 pandemic struck in March 2020, all racing was halted indefinitely as the country entered lockdown. The Government gave approval for elite sport to take place behind closed doors from 1st June and horse racing was one the first major sports to resume. Just over two weeks later Royal Ascot took place behind closed doors for the first time in its history.

With the Guineas meeting taking place during that first week of resumption, the St James’s Palace Stakes and Coronation Stakes were pushed back to the Saturday to allow as much time as possible for horses to recover from Newmarket. The Ribblesdale Stakes and King Edward VII Stakes also acted as key Oaks and Derby Trials, taking place before the Epsom Classics for the first time ever. Six additional races were added to the meeting to provide opportunities for horses that needed to run following the lack of racing due to the lockdown.

Strict COVID-19 protocols were in place across the racecourse with temperature testing on entry, jockeys changing in what would normally be the Bandstand Restaurant to ensure social distancing and face coverings required in the parade ring.

Although only essential personnel were on site to see it, the racing proved of the highest quality as Battaash won the King’s Stand Stakes, Stradivarius won a third Gold Cup and Palace Pier confirmed his class in the St James’s Palace Stakes.

Record numbers tuned in to watch on ITV with nearly 1.8 million watching Hayley Turner win the Sandringham Stakes on Onassis and 1.5 million saw Stradivarius win the Gold Cup under Frankie Dettori. That Thursday afternoon saw the highest average viewership of any day at the Royal Meeting since 2012 at 1.2 million.

The first race meeting ever held at Ascot took place on Satur-day, August 11, 1711. Her Majesty’s Plate, worth 100 Guineas and open to any horse, mare or gelding over the age of six, was the inaugural event. Each horse was required to carry a weight of 12st and seven runners took part.

This contest bore little resemblance to racing seen at Ascot today. The seven horses were all English Hunters, quite different to the speedy thoroughbreds that race on the Flat now. The race consisted of three separate heats which were four miles long (each heat was about the length of the Grand National), so the winner would have been a horse with tremendous stamina. Sadly, there is no record of the winner of the first Plate.

The racecourse was laid out by William Lowen, who was assisted by a team of helpers; William Erlybrown, a carpenter, Benjamin Cluchett, a painter, and John Grape, who prepared the paperwork for racing. The first permanent building was erected in 1793 by George Slingsby, a Windsor builder. It held 1,650 people and was used until 1838.

In 1813, Parliament passed an Act of Enclosure. This Act ensured that Ascot Heath, although the property of the Crown, would be kept and used as a racecourse for the public in the future. Racing at Ascot was now secure.

The precise origin of the Royal Meeting is unclear. It was an event that evolved, perhaps, rather than was introduced at a specific

time, but the first four-day meeting took place in 1768. Arguably, the meeting as we know it today started to take shape with the introduction of the Gold Cup in 1807.

Gold Cup Day is the third day of Royal Ascot. Although you won’t find it in any marketing or promotional literature, Thursday is colloquially known as Ladies’ Day.

The term Ladies’ Day seems to have been first used in 1823, when an anonymous poet described the Thursday of the Royal Meeting as “Ladies’ Day, when the women, like angels, look sweetly divine.” In the formative years, Thursday was certainly the dominant day in terms of the racing, attracting the largest crowds and, it must be assumed from the emergence of the term, more ladies!

Almost every racecourse markets a Ladies’ Day now but the great charm of the original is that it has not been manufactured. It is the public, not the racecourse, who call it Ladies’ Day.

The Gold Cup is Ascot’s oldest surviving race, and the winning owners receive a gold trophy which becomes their property. Trophies to keep are only awarded for ten races at the Royal Meeting, the others being the Queen’s Vase, inaugurated in 1838 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s accession, the Royal Hunt Cup (1843) and the remaining Group 1 races.

ASCOT -

ITS HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

It was Queen Anne who first saw the potential for a racecourse at Ascot, which in those days was called East Cote. Whilst out riding in 1711, she came upon an area of open heath, not far from

Windsor Castle, that looked an ideal place for “horses to gallop at full stretch.”

54

It was at around the time of the first running of the Gold Cup that the roots of today’s traditional Royal Enclosure dress code emerged. Beau Brummell, a close friend of the Prince Regent, decreed that men of elegance should wear waisted black coats and white cravats with pantaloons. Over the years, this has evolved into the wearing of morning suits and equally formal clothes for ladies, who must wear hats.

Although a Royal Stand dates back to the 1790s, the Royal Enclosure that current regulars are used to at Ascot was conceived in 1822 when King George IV commissioned a two-storey stand to be built with a surrounding lawn. Access was by invitation of the King. In 1825, the Royal Procession as an annual tradition began. The King, leading four other coaches with members of the Royal party, drove up the centre of the racecourse in front of the crowds and this has continued to the present day.

The administration of Ascot has always been handled by a representative appointed by the Monarch. The racecourse was run on behalf of the Sovereign by the Master of the Royal Buckhounds up until 1901 when Lord Churchill was appointed as the first official Representative of His Majesty, a post held today by Johnny Weatherby (as Her Majesty’s Representative).

55

In 1913, when the Ascot Authority was established by an Act of Parliament, His Majesty’s Representative became Senior Trustee of the Authority with the Clerk of the Course acting as Secretary. Today, as Ascot Authority (Holdings) Limited, Ascot has a formal board sitting under the three Trustee structure.

In 1955, the rules of divorce were relaxed and divorcees were able to enter the Royal Enclosure. However, a redevelopment of the Enclosure shortly before this had added the new Queen’s Lawn, which was by invitation and the Court rules governing divorce still applied.

Ascot’s first major redevelopment came to fruition in 1954, with the relocation of the straight mile north to allow more space behind the stands. This was the second such move and even this time around, they didn’t go quite far enough as the track was moved a further 42 metres north as part of the 2005 redevelopment. Prior to the second move, the straight track cut right through the existing Number One Car Park into the current site of Heatherwood Hospital.

The Queen Elizabeth II Grandstand, built by Wimpey, was erected between the 1960 and 1961 Royal Meeting and the Members’ Stand went up between Royal Ascot 1963 and 1964.

The Car Parks at Ascot almost certainly play more part in the event than at any other venue – they are far from merely functional with lavish picnics, including butlers, candelabra and silver service not uncommon, especially in Number One and Two Car Parks. In 2006, a Country Life survey found that Royal Ascot is the South of England’s most popular picnic spot and the most popular sporting occasion at which to picnic in the country.

Although Ascot likes to think it runs Number One Car Park, it is far from uncommon for berths in this sought after spot to be passed down formally from generation to generation. There is currently a waiting list of 400 names.

Ascot’s much loved tradition of “singing around the bandstand” or “community singing” began in the 1970s under the stewardship of Lady Beaumont, wife of the then Clerk of the Course, Captain Sir Nicholas Beaumont. The now unmissable sing song of British favourites and flag waving after racing was an immediate success with thousands of racegoers staying on and making it an integral part of their day. Now, traditional singing is listed as part of the day’s formal proceedings in the racecard and song books and flags are handed round.

2002 saw plenty of change to the established pattern at Royal Ascot as the meeting expanded to five days to mark The Queen’s Golden Jubilee. In addition, one race name was changed as the newly promoted Cork & Orrery Stakes became the Golden Jubilee Stakes (renamed the Diamond Jubilee Stakes in 2012).

The racecourse closed for redevelopment in September 2004 – with the Finale Meeting ending with singing around the bandstand, the only time this has been done outside Royal Ascot.

The 2005 Royal Meeting was staged in York, providing the city with its biggest ever sporting event. The city, region and racecourse threw themselves into the extravaganza, which saw expansion into the Knavesmire so as to accommodate circa 50,000 people each day.

Royal Ascot at York took place with a Royal Enclosure and Royal Procession every day. The bell used to instruct jockeys to mount at Ascot travelled up along with the Brown Jack statue commemorating the Ascot legend. The “Greencoats,” who form the ceremonial guard for The Queen at Royal Ascot, came to York. Their garb rather speaks for itself and it is rumoured that the original velvet uniforms were made from material left over from curtains in Windsor Castle.

Historically, Ascot Racecourse redevelops every 50 years or so, once a generation, and throughout considerable changes the Royal Meeting has maintained its position as a much loved event at the heart of the national sporting and social calendar. Ascot’s traditions remain as strong, strictly observed and loved now as they ever were, whilst the racing goes from strength to strength (Group 1 races have increased from three in 1999 to eight, with the addition of the Commonwealth Cup in 2015).

The new Ascot was officially reopened by The Queen, on time and to its £220 million budget, on 20th June, 2006.

The modern era immediately had a new equine legend in Yeats, who won an unprecedented four Gold Cups before retiring in 2009. A statue to commemorate his achievements now stands in the Parade Ring.

2011 saw Ascot celebrate its tercentenary and 2012 was another exciting landmark occasion for the racecourse as the Royal Meeting played its part in The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations. On the track, the great Frankel won the Queen Anne Stakes and Black Caviar made her only appearance outside Australia, winning the Diamond Jubilee Stakes.

There was a Royal winner in 2012 when Estimate won the Queen’s Vase. That horse went on to provoke scenes of unbridled joy from the crowd when winning the following year’s Gold Cup.

Estimate’s jockey in 2012 was Ryan Moore, who broke another record at Royal Ascot in 2015 with nine winners across the week.

In 2016, The Queen’s success continued with Dartmouth winning the Hardwicke Stakes.

In 2017, The Village Enclosure was opened, the first new enclosure for 100 years, and in 2018, prize money topped £7 million for the first time.

In 2020, for the first time in its history Royal Ascot was run behind closed doors, due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.

ASCOT RACECOURSE

KEY DATESSummer, 1711It was Queen Anne who first saw the potential for a racecourse at Ascot, which in those days was called East Cote. Whilst out riding she came upon an area of open heath, not far from Windsor Castle, that looked an ideal place for “horses to gallop at full stretch.”

June, 1711Charles, Duke of Somerset instructed Sir William Wyndham, Master of the Royal Buckhounds, to have the open heath cleared of scrub and gorse in preparation for a race meeting.

11 August 1711The first race meeting ever held at Ascot took place. Her Majesty’s Plate, worth 100 guineas and open to any horse, mare or gelding over the age of six, was the inaugural event. Each horse was required to carry a weight of 12st and seven runners took part.

September 17, 1711The success of Her Majesty’s Plate in August meant the second meeting followed soon after in September.

July 31, 1727John Cheny published a prototype form book, which evolved into the Racing Calendar, recording the conditions of each race and the prize.

1744The Yeoman Prickers were formed. Employed by the Master of the Buckhounds, their distinctive livery of forest green coats with gold facings are worn today by the Ascot Greencoats, who attend Royal Ascot each year.

1752The popularity of attending the racing at Ascot was becoming apparent in social circles, prompting the Duke of Bedford to write that when arriving in London ‘I could find no soul to dine or sup with’.

1762The first use of racing colours was introduced, although it wasn’t mandatory for another two decades.

1768The first four-day meeting took place.

1773James Weatherby, Keeper of the Match Book (the book of records for match races), was authorised by the Jockey Club to publish a racing calendar. James Weatherby began a family firm, still in existence today. Weatherbys are the secretariat of horse racing in Britain.

June, 1791The Oatlands Stakes was run at Ascot – an important landmark race as it was the first handicap race, where the weights of the runners were adjusted according to their form to give them, in theory, equal chances.

1793The first permanent building was erected by George Slingsby, a Windsor builder. It held 1,650 people and was used until 1838.

1807The inaugural running of the Gold Cup for three-year-olds and upwards. It is significant that the first Gold Cup was won by a three-year-old, this was an event designed to attract horses bred to compete much younger than had been the case the previous century. In the modern era, three-year-olds do not run in the race.

1813Parliament passed an Act of Enclosure. This Act ensured that Ascot Heath, although the property of the Crown, would be kept and used as a racecourse for the public in the future. Racing at Ascot was now secure. The Master of the Buckhounds continued to manage the races and the racecourse – just as it was more than 100 years before.

1820George III died and the Prince Regent ascended the throne as George IV. He immediately ordered alterations to be made to the Royal Stand by John Nash. Nash’s alterations did not satisfy the King and so, in 1822, Nash designed a brand new Royal Stand, erected in just five weeks.

1822The Royal Enclosure was born when King George IV commissioned a two-storey stand to be built with a surrounding lawn. Access was by invitation of the King where he entertained his friends in style.

1825King George IV’s greatest legacy to Royal Ascot was the Royal Procession. The King leading four other coaches with mem-bers of the Royal party drove up the Straight Mile in front of the crowds. A diarist of the day commented; ‘the whole thing looked very splendid’.

1837Turf on the track was relaid by the Clerk of the Course, William Hibburd, to improve the ground. Rails and posts were constructed along the track.

1838Queen Victoria made her first visit to Ascot as Sovereign. To mark her first visit, the Queen inaugurated a new race over one and a half miles, known today as the Queen’s Vase (now two miles).

1838 Horses were numbered in the racecard.

July, 1838A decision was made to construct a new stand between the betting stand and the Royal Stand. The new stand took 10 months to build and was warmly welcomed when it opened on May 20, 1839. The lower half of the stand could hold about 3,000 people and contained a betting hall.

1839For the first time at Ascot, the judge hoisted the number of the winner onto a large blackboard, thus putting an end to the disputes as to which horse had won.

1856 The railway was brought to Ascot with the opening of the Staines to Wokingham line.

1861 (approx)Racing in the mid-19th century was becoming more professional with Ascot appointing its first official Clerk of the Scales, James Manning (whose family stayed in the post until 1970, latterly working for the Jockey Club).

1861 Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, died and Queen Victoria did not return to Ascot again.

1862 A new race at the meeting was named after Prince Albert: The Prince of Wales’s Stakes.

1863Prince Albert, eldest son and second child of Victoria and Albert, known as Bertie, attended his first Ascot meeting aged 21 and continued to lend his support to the Royal Meeting with enthusiasm. He restored the Royal Procession and revived the custom of inviting overseas visitors to Ascot.

1873 Ascot witnessed the first victory for the riding phenomenon Fred Archer. Over 14 years, he rode 80 winners at the racecourse.

1896 The Grandstand had a clock tower erected.

1901 Racing at Ascot took place in sombre mood to mark the death of Queen Victoria. Prince Albert ascended the throne as King Edward VII.

1901The role of Master of the Buckhounds was disbanded and a new role created, that of the King’s representative. The first man to undertake this role was Viscount Churchill.

1901All three stands in the Royal Enclosure were demolished under the instruction of King Edward VII and two new stands were built between September, 1901 and May, 1902. The total cost was £28,350.

1902 A third stand was built at a cost of £27,636. This stand included lifts, the first to be installed on a British racecourse. In order to have the work completed by May, 1902, some 500 men were employed on the task, working day and night shifts.

1908 The ‘Five Shilling Stand’ was built – later known as the Silver Ring Stand at a cost of £30,000.

1912 Racegoers began to arrive by car and for the first time, motor cars were allowed to park on the Heath.

1913The Ascot Authority was established by an Act of Parliament. His Majesty’s Representative became Senior Trustee of the Authority with the Clerk of the Course acting as Secretary.

1926The Royal Enclosure buildings were extended and a new Iron Stand was erected. Ascot began to install a new watering system, with the facility to dispense around two million gallons of water onto the turf.

1929The Tote building was constructed (still standing today, beside the Pre-Parade Ring). The designs had been agreed by the Racecourse Betting Control Board (RBCB), the authority overseeing wagering at this time.

1936George V died and was succeeded by his eldest son, who became Edward VIII. The new King was a keen follower of horseracing but he never attended the Royal Meeting as reigning monarch. By the end of the year Edward VIII had abdicated in order to marry Wallis Simpson.

1937 George VI & Queen Elizabeth attend their first Ascot race meeting.

1940Racing at Ascot cancelled. The racecourse was commandeered by the army, the Grandstand providing accommodation for gunners of the Royal Artillery.

15 May 1943Racing at Ascot resumed, with an eight-race card.

May 21, 1945Ascot staged its first post-war fixture and the 19-year-old Princess Elizabeth attended for the first time.

1946Major Crocker Bulteel was appointed as the Clerk of the Course, regarded as ‘the outstanding racing administrator of his day.’ The Duke of Norfolk was appointed as the King’s Representative.

1946The Ascot fixture list extended to include racing in July, September and October.

1953Queen Elizabeth II crowned on June 2 (ascended the throne on February 6, 1952).

1955The rules of divorce were relaxed and divorcees were able to enter the Royal Enclosure. However, a redevelopment of the Enclosure shortly before this had added the new Queen’s Lawn. Entrance was by invitation only and the Court rules governing divorce still applied.

June 13, 1961The Grandstand was demolished and the Queen Elizabeth II Stand was built. It took 11 months to build, with 550 workers at a cost of £1 million. The stand represented a state-of-the-art facility at the time, accommodated 13,000 people and had 280 private boxes.

59

1975The BBC outside-broadcast staff picketed and there was no television coverage.

April, 1998Lord Hartington, Her Majesty’s Representative, revealed that changes to the racecourse were being contemplated.

2001In order to facilitate the redevelopment, Ascot incorporated as Ascot Authority (Holdings) Limited, the most significant milestone in its structure since the 1913 Act of Parliament.

2002Plans were announced to redevelop Ascot Racecourse. The existing Queen Elizabeth II stand was to be replaced and the course realigned. The Golden Jubilee was celebrated. Royal Ascot extended from four to five days.

The Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) One Mile, Four Year Olds & UpwardsFounded in 1840, the Queen Anne Stakes commemorates the monarch who established racing at Ascot in 1711. Run as the Trial Stakes until 1929, the Queen Anne Stakes was first awarded Group 3 status in 1971, becoming Group 2 in 1984. The race, attracting Europe’s top older milers, achieved the highest three-year average rating of any Group 2 race in Britain from 1999 to 2002 according to the then International Classifications and was elevated to Group 1 status accordingly in 2003. Run as the opening race of the meeting since 2008 it returns to that position this year.

The Coventry Stakes (Group 2) Six furlongs, Two Year OldsFirst run in 1890, the race was named after the ninth Earl of Coventry, Master of the Buckhounds between 1886 and 1892. This is traditionally the first Group contest of the year for juveniles and part of the opening day card but was run on the Saturday in 2020 to allow two-year-olds additional time between their debuts and Royal Ascot.This year it returns to the opening day and many top class horses win this race before going on to achieve greatness including Canford Cliffs, Dawn Approach and Caravaggio since the race was promoted to Group 2 status in 2004.

The King’s Stand Stakes (Group 1) Five furlongs, Three Year Olds & UpwardsA Stand Plate was first run on the round course in 1837, becoming the Royal Stand Plate in 1858. The race wasre-named the Queen’s Stand Plate in 1860 for two-year-olds, over the sprint distance of four furlongs, finally becoming the King’s Stand Plate in 1901. Today the race remains a sprint, although now run over the minimum trip of five furlongs for three-year-olds and upwards. In 2008 it was promoted to Group 1. The 2019 renewal was officially the highest-quality sprint race in the world with a rating of 120.25 after Blue Point and Battaash fought out the finish.

The St James’s Palace Stakes (Group 1) Old mile, Three Year Old ColtsNamed after the Tudor Royal residence, the inaugural running of the St James’s Palace Stakes in 1834 was awalkover for the Derby winner Plenipotentiary. This race features the best male milers from the Classic generation, often attracting horses that have run in the British, French and Irish 2,000 Guineas. The race was moved to the final day of Royal Ascot last year to allow maximum time from the delayed 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket and it delivered the race of the week as Palace Pier defeated Pinatubo and Wichita in a thrilling finish.

The Ascot Stakes (Handicap) Two miles, four furlongs, Four Year Olds & UpwardsFirst run in 1839, the Ascot Stakes is run over two-and-a-half miles. Like the Gold Cup and Queen Alexandra Stakes, this race provides a thorough test of stamina. It is one of just four races at the Royal Meeting in which the field passes the winning post twice. As well as attracting some high-class horses from the Jumps sphere, the race normally features horses that will go on to run in the major staying handicaps throughout the season including the Northumberland Plate and the Ebor.

The Wolferton Stakes (Listed) One mile, two furlongs, Four Year Olds & UpwardsFirst run in 2002 as part of the five-day Royal Ascot meeting to celebrate The Queen’s Golden Jubilee, this is a Listed race over 10 furlongs for four-year-olds and upwards, having been a Listed Handicap until 2017.

The Copper Horse Stakes (Handicap) One mile, six furlongs, Four Year Olds & UpwardsStaged over a mile and three quarters, the Copper Horse Stakes was one of the six additional races to be run at Royal Ascot in 2020. Open to four-year-olds and upwards, Her Majesty The Queen graciously consented to the race’s name to be included last year and it has been retained as part of the expanded programme. It is inspired by the magnificent statue of King George III – mounted on horseback – which marks the end of the Long Walk in Windsor Great Park. The inaugural running was won by Fujaira Prince who went on to win the Ebor at York and was then second in the Group 1 Irish St. Leger and third in the British Champions Long Distance Cup on QIPCO British Champions Day.

The Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2) Five furlongs, Two Year Old FilliesNamed after the consort of King George V, this race was first run in 1921. The Queen Mary Stakes is the first major race of the season exclusively for two-year-old fillies. Run over the minimum distance of five furlongs and promoted to Group 2 status in 2004, it provides a useful opportunity to assess their ability and potential to perform at Group 1 level. In light of the fact British racing was only able to resume in June last year, the race was moved from its usual Wednesday slot to Saturday, maximising the time between participants’ debut runs and Royal Ascot. It was won by Campanelle, a fourth success in the race for American trainer Wesley Ward.

RACE HISTORIES & CONDITIONS

61

The Queen’s Vase (Group 2) One mile, six furlongs, Three Year OldsPromoted to Group Two in 2017, the race was named to honour Queen Victoria and first run in 1838. This race became the King’s Vase in 1903 and reverted to its original name of the Queen’s Vase on the succession of Queen Elizabeth II. Run over a-mile-and-three-quarters, this contest provides a test of stamina for three-year-olds and winners of the race often go on to compete in the Gold Cup in future years. Her Majesty The Queen’s Estimate and current stay stayer Stradivarius are the most recent Queen’s Vase winners (2012 and 2017 respectively) to win the historic Gold Cup in subsequent seasons.

The Duke of Cambridge Stakes (Group 2) One mile, Four Year Olds & Upwards Fillies & Mares Until 2013 run as the Windsor Forest Stakes, this race was a new addition to the Royal Meeting in 2004 and part of an industry-wide initiative to encourage connections of the leading Classic generation fillies from the previous year to keep their stars in training. Run over the straight mile course, it is open only to fillies and mares aged four or over. As a Group 2 race, Group 1 winners carry a penalty, so the option of the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes, where no penalties are carried, is still open to the very best fillies.

The Prince of Wales’s Stakes (Group 1) One mile, two furlongs, Four Year Olds & UpwardsThe Prince of Wales’s Stakes, first run at Royal Ascot in 1862, is named after the son of Queen Victoria (later to become King Edward VII). Originally staged over a mile and five furlongs, the race often attracted horses that had participated in the Classics. There was no Prince of Wales’s Stakes from 1946 until 1968, a year before the current Prince of Wales’s investiture in 1969, when the distance changed to one mile and two furlongs. In 2000, The Prince of Wales’s Stakes was upgraded to Group 1 status and restricted to four-year-olds and upwards.

The Royal Hunt Cup (Heritage Handicap) One mile, Three Year Olds & UpwardsThe Royal Hunt Cup always provides one of the greatest spectacles of the Royal Meeting as a maximum field thunders up Ascot’s straight mile course for one of the biggest betting races of the season. First run in 1843, it was originally staged over seven furlongs and 155 yards. The current distance of a mile was established in 1955 when the straight course was re-aligned as part of the previous redevelopment.

The Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed) Five furlongs, Two Year Olds First run in 1839 over the straight mile course, this race was originally designed to attract three-year-old colts and fillies that had competed in the early season Classics. It is now run over the minimum distance of five furlongs and restricted to two-year-olds. The 2020 renewal was won by Tactical for Her Majesty The Queen, a home bred son of Toronado. Trained by Andrew Balding and ridden by James Doyle, he was The Queen’s 24th winner at the Royal Meeting.

The Kensington Palace Stakes (Handicap) Old mile, Four Year Olds & Upwards FilliesA new handicap introduced for the first time in 2021 to be run over the Old Mile for four-year-old and upwards fillies and mares. Kensington Palace, set in Kensington Gardens, has been a residence for Members of the Royal Family since the 17th century.

The Norfolk Stakes (Group 2) Five furlongs, Two Year OldsFirst run in 1843, this race was formerly known as the New Stakes and staged over a distance of just under four furlongs. In 1973 it was renamed after the Duke of Norfolk, Her Majesty’s Representative at Ascot between 1945 and 1972. For two-year-olds, it was promoted to Group 2 status in 2006.

The Hampton Court Stakes (Group 3) One mile, two furlongs, Three Year OldsThis 10-furlong event, restricted to three-year-olds, was originally part of the Saturday Heath Day card, under the title of the New Stakes, and joined Royal Ascot as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2002. It was rechristened The Tercentenary Stakes in 2011, when the racecourse celebrated 300 years since its inauguration and was also promoted from Listed to Group 3 in tandem. The race reverted back to being the Hampton Court Stakes in 2017 and in 2020 was run a day earlier than normal on the Wednesday, providing another eligible Epsom trial for the delayed Derby and Oaks which took place after Royal Ascot for the first time ever.

The Ribblesdale Stakes (Group 2) One mile, four furlongs, Three Year Old FilliesThis race, mirroring the conditions of the Oaks, is named after the fourth Baron Ribblesdale, Master of the Buckhounds between 1892 and 1895. First run in 1919, this race was originally staged over a mile for three and four-year-olds. It is now restricted to Classic generation fillies and run over the longer distance of a mile and a half. It was given an earlier slot in 2020 on the Tuesday to act as a key trial for the Oaks, allowing fillies the maximum amount of time before the rearranged Epsom Classic which had been pushed back a month due to COVID-19.

The Gold Cup (Group 1) Two miles, four furlongs, Four Year Olds & UpwardsFounded in 1807, the Gold Cup (which, contrary to popular opinion is not called the “Ascot Gold Cup”) is the oldest and one of the most prestigious races at Royal Ascot. Staged over the marathon trip of two-and-a-half miles, the race is a stiff test of stamina and attracts the very best staying horses in Europe. Many horses have distinguished themselves with multiple Gold Cup wins, enhancing the race’s reputation as a special-ists’ event. Sagaro won three times in the 1970s and Stradivarius claimed his third straight success in the race last year but Yeats still stands tallest of all, becoming a four-time winner in 2009. The Queen’s Estimate won the 2013 Gold Cup, becoming the first horse to win the Gold Cup for a reigning monarch.

62

The Britannia Stakes (Heritage Handicap) One mile, Three Year Old Colts & GeldingsFirst run in 1928 over the straight mile of the Royal Hunt Cup course and run under similar conditions today. Open to three-year-old colts and geldings only, the Britannia is almost as popular these days as the Royal Hunt Cup.

The King George V Stakes (Handicap) One mile, four furlongs, Three Year OldsLike the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes, this is a Handicap for middle distance performers, staged over one and a half miles for three-year-olds only. The inaugural running was in July 1946, as part of the fixture list expansion to include racing in July, September and October, before the race was transferred to Royal Ascot in 1948.

The Buckingham Palace Stakes (Handicap) Seven furlongs, Three Year Olds & UpwardsOne of six races added to Royal Ascot for 2020, the seven furlong Buckingham Palace Handicap was reintroduced to the card having been lost when The Commonwealth Cup was created in 2015. Available to three-year-olds and upwards, it was first established in 2002 when a fifth day was added to the meeting to mark the Golden Jubilee. Last year it opened the Royal Meeting and it is now retained permanently as part of the expanded programme.

The Albany Stakes (Group 3) Six furlongs, Two Year Old FilliesThis race was first run in 2002 as the Henry Carnarvon Stakes, honouring The Queen’s late racing manager, and proved so successful that it was promoted to Group 3 status in 2005. Restricted to two-year-old fillies, the six-furlong event provides one of the first opportunities of the season for promising types to prove their ability and go on to harbour Guineas aspirations.

The King Edward VII Stakes (Group 2) One mile, four furlongs, Three Year Old Colts & GeldingsFormerly known, and still colloquially referred to as the Ascot Derby, this race was inaugurated in 1834 and regularly featured horses of both sexes that had competed in the middle-distance Classics. First run as the King Edward VII Stakes in 1926 and now restricted to three-year-old colts and geldings, it returns to its traditional Friday slot having unusually acted as a key trial for the delayed Derby in 2020.

The Commonwealth Cup (Group 1) Six furlongs, Three Year Olds Colts and Fillies The Commonwealth Cup was a completely new race in 2015 and joined the King’s Stand Stakes and Diamond Jubilee Stakes to become the third Group 1 sprint at Royal Ascot. The race, run over six furlongs, is restricted to three-year-old colts and fillies and was put in place as a Europe-wide measure to create a better Pattern for young sprinters and improve the quality of sprint races across the continent. Several races in the run up to the Commonwealth Cup were promoted in tandem, including

the Commonwealth Cup Trial at Ascot, in April to Group 3. The 2019 renewal of the Commonwealth Cup, won by Advertise, was the joint highest rated three-year-old race in the world.

The Coronation Stakes (Group 1) Old mile, Three Year Old Fillies First run in 1840 to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria two years previously, the Coronation Stakes is for three-year-old fillies and regularly attracts horses that have run in the British, Irish and French 1,000 Guineas. It was promoted to Group 1 level in 1988 and the most recent filly to follow up from one of the Guineas is Alpha Centauri who broke the track record when winning in 2018.

The Sandringham Stakes (Handicap) One mile, Three Year Old FilliesOriginally registered as the Fern Hill Stakes, this race was part of the traditional Heath Day card on the Saturday after Royal Ascot. It was renamed after the Norfolk royal residence when the Royal Meeting was expanded to five days as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2002. This is a competitive handicap over a mile, limited to three-year-old fillies only.

The Duke of Edinburgh Stakes (Handicap) One mile, four furlongs, Three Year Olds & UpwardsOriginally the Bessborough Stakes, named after the fifth Earl of Bessborough, who was Master of the Buckhounds between 1848 and 1866, the race was renamed the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes in 1999. First run in 1914 as a five-furlong event for two-year-olds, it has now evolved into a middle distance handicap for three-year-olds and upward.

The Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes (Handicap) Five furlongs, Three Year OldsThe final race on Friday was among six prizes added to the Royal Ascot race programme for 2020. A five-furlong sprint for three-year-olds, Her Majesty The Queen graciously consented to the race name, which recognises the Monarchy’s official Scottish residence. A race with similar conditions used to be run regularly on the Saturday Heath Day card and featured as part of the full Royal Ascot programme in 2002 and 2003 as the Balmoral Handicap. Upon its return last year it was won by Art Power who went on to win a Group 3 at Naas before contesting the major Group 1 sprints later in the season.

The Chesham Stakes (Listed) Seven furlongs, Two Year OldsNamed after the third Baron Chesham, who was the last Master of the Buckhounds from 1900 to 1901. First run in 1919, the Chesham Stakes replaced the first leg of the Triennial Stakes, which had been run over five furlongs for two-year-olds. Now a Listed contest, the race takes place over the longer distance of seven furlongs and is restricted to youngsters whose sires won at ten furlongs or more.

The Jersey Stakes (Group 3) Seven furlongs, Three Year OldsThe Jersey Stakes replaced the second leg of the Triennial Stakes in 1919. Named after the fourth Earl of Jersey, who was the Master of the Buckhounds between 1782 and 1783, this specialist seven-furlong contest is framed for three-year-olds who have yet to win a Group 1 or Group 2 race, but have often competed at that level, including in the Guineas.

The Hardwicke Stakes (Group 2) One mile, four furlongs, Four Year Olds & UpwardsNamed after the fifth Earl of Hardwicke, Master of the Buckhounds between 1874 and 1879, the race was first run in 1879. The Group 2 contest continues to attract the best older middle distance horses and is often an informative guide to the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth QIPCO Stakes in July. It is run with no Group 1 or 2 winners’ penalties as a quasi-Group 1 race with top level horses regularly competing.

The St James’s Palace Stakes (Group 1) Old mile, Three Year Old ColtsNamed after the Tudor Royal residence, the inaugural running of the St James’s Palace Stakes in 1834 was a walkover for the Derby winner Plenipotentiary. This race features the best male milers from the Classic generation, often attracting horses that have run in the British, French and Irish 2,000 Guineas. Although such international representation will be difficult this year, the race has been moved to the final day of Royal Ascot to allow maximum between the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket.

The Diamond Jubilee Stakes (Group 1) Six furlongs, Four Year Olds & UpwardsFormerly known as the Cork and Orrery Stakes, Royal Ascot’s most prestigious sprint was given a new name – the Golden Jubilee Stakes - and elevated to Group 1 status to celebrate The Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002. Ten years later, it assumed the mantle of the Diamond Jubilee Stakes. First run in 1868, this six-furlong contest was originally named after Lord Cork, another Master of the Buckhounds. In 2015, it became a race for four-year-olds and upwards, as the three-year-olds now have the Commonwealth Cup option.

The Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap) Six furlongs, Three Year Olds & UpwardsThe inaugural running of the Wokingham Stakes took place in 1813, making this race the oldest handicap at Royal Ascot. This famous sprint is named after the market town seven miles from Ascot Racecourse, and the first dual winner was appropriately also named Wokingham (1881 and 1882). Over the years, the race has developed a reputation as a fiercely competitive handicap and one of the major betting heats of the season.

The Golden Gates Stakes (Handicap) One mile, two furlongs, Three Year OldsThe penultimate contest at Royal Ascot was among the six prizes added to the race programme in 2020 and one of three newly named contests to be staged. The Golden Gates are the ceremonial entrance point as the Royal Procession arrives at the top of Ascot’s famous Straight Mile. Her Majesty The Queen graciously consented to the race title which is run over a mile and a quarter for three-year-olds only. The inaugural running proved a high-class contest with the winner, Highland Chief, going on to run in the Derby and subsequently being placed at Group 2 level.

The Queen Alexandra Stakes (Conditions) Two miles, six furlongs, Four Year Olds & UpwardsRun over the marathon trip of two-and-three-quarter miles, the Queen Alexandra Stakes is not only the longest race of the meeting, but also the longest contest run under Flat racing rules. Named after the consort of King Edward VII, the race was first run in 1864 as the Alexandra Plate over three miles. It will always be associated with Brown Jack, arguably Royal Ascot’s greatest equine legend, who won this race on six consecutive occasions between 1929 and 1934. The Queen Alexandra Stakes always closes the meeting and, perhaps because of its extreme distance in a time when so much emphasis is on speed, it has become a national institution and is affectionately supported by regulars.

DID YOU KNOW...? Since Queen Anne founded Ascot Racecourse back in 1711, a

further 11 monarchs have acceded to the British throne.

Mrs Gertrude Shilling was undeniably the premier indefatigable sartorial dame of Ascot (nicknamed The Ascot Mascot), but she has met with competition from all over the world, including in 1976 when Australia’s Dame Edna Everage, alias Barry Humphries, attended with a four foot Sydney Opera House perched on “her” head. Following the successes of Choisir, Takeover Target, Miss Andretti, Scenic Blast and Black Caviar on the track, Royal Ascot is as much an institution in Australia as at home these days, but back then Dame Edna said to the assembled press that she: “wasn’t aware it was a racing event until the other day. I always thought it was an exhibition of gas water heaters!”

Viscount Churchill was appointed as the first sovereign’s representative at Ascot in 1901. He is reputed to have taken personal charge of vetting applications for entrance into the Royal Enclosure, sorting letters into three baskets marked ‘Certainly’ ‘Perhaps’ and ‘Certainly Not.’ Viscount Churchill loved this task and became notorious for recognising faces in the Royal Enclosure and challenging those who should not be there. For this purpose he was granted special access to the Divorce Registry, as those on it were not permitted access to the Royal Enclosure.

Many people were sympathetic to the Ascot Authority in June, 1964, after the Royal Meeting had to be curtailed due to severe rain, thus blighting the opening of the new Royal Enclosure Stand. None more so than the old lady who sent the Authority £1 because she was so distressed to hear of the course’s bad luck. The Duke of Norfolk, Her Majesty’s Representative at the time, responded with equal magnanimity, thanking the lady and inviting her to a day’s racing.

In the days before actors were allowed in the Royal Enclosure, King Edward VII asked the actor Charles Hawtrey if he would be seeing him at Royal Ascot. Hawtrey explained that rules prevented it, whereupon the King took it upon himself personally to send Hawtrey the necessary badge. When Ascot came, Hawtrey entered the Enclosure to the great surprise of Lord Churchill, His Majesty’s Representative at Ascot, who said: “I don’t remember sending you a badge.” Hawtrey explained that this was not surprising as he hadn’t – “King Edward did!”

It is said that when Queen Anne was in residence at Windsor Castle, she imported a large quantity of green velour material from France, in which she dressed her “Yeoman Prickers,” who were armed with pikes to move people out of the way at the races! That particular practice doesn’t sit comfortably with the modern day customer service ethic but the outfits are remembered with today’s “Greencoats”, the ceremonial guard for The Queen at Ascot, wearing the livery.

In the early 1920s, Lord Lonsdale drove every day from his rented house adjoining the Winkfield Road crossing, up the High Street to the racecourse entrance with outriders, drivers and footmen, all wearing his distinctive yellow livery. The proceedings were so grand that critics claimed he was trying to rival the Royal Procession.

The Duke of Norfolk must have been dismayed to read in The Times and The Telegraph on April 27, 1971 that Ascot would permit ‘hot pants’ in the Royal Enclosure! The next day he corrected the misinformation in no uncertain terms.

Back in 1954, The Queen had a famous Royal Ascot triumph with the brilliant Aureole, who had suffered a minor eye injury a few days before the Meeting. When visiting the paddock just before the race, The Queen asked her jockey, Eph Smith, who wore a hearing-aid, whether he would win. The reply came: “Well, Ma’am, we are rather handicapped. The horse is blind in one eye and I’m deaf!”

King Edward VII’s mother, Queen Victoria, was known to have frowned upon her son’s general and unparalleled enthusiasm for good living and, of course, racing, but on his accession in 1901, the new King closed the Royal Stand completely for the Royal Meeting due to the death of his mother and requested that all those who attended within the Royal Enclosure wear black.

Due to the knock on effects of the General Election, the 2001 Royal Procession was restricted to two days as the horses and carriages were required to convey The Queen to Wesminster for the State Opening of Parliament on the Wednesday and had to be in place for a practice on Tuesday. The Royal Party, including The Queen, came by car on both days and arrived in time for racing.

Sir John Crocker Bulteel was Clerk of the Course from 1946 until his death in 1956. A figure of great importance in the history of Ascot Racecourse, Sir John Crocker Bulteel was known as an outstanding racing administrator but it was his love of racing that he is most famous for. It is due mainly to the dedication of Sir John that today Ascot stages more than just the Royal Meeting. The King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes, initially run as the Festival of Britain Stakes, was his brainchild. The race was first run in 1951 and did more than any other race to change the face of top-level racing in this country and, ultimately, the world. It promoted the cause of international inter-age competition and more often than not, its winner is the seasonal champion.

During the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001, the management suggested that ladies bear in mind the precautionary foot and mouth disinfectant mats on all entrances to the racecourse when considering their footwear. Not everyone listened which made for some interesting pictures in the likes of “Hello” and “Harpers” that year!

In 1964, Trelawny was to bid for a third consecutive Ascot Stakes/Queen Alexandra Stakes double. He was beaten in the Ascot Stakes but would have walked over in the Queen Alexandra on Friday had the meeting not been abandoned due to waterlogging. This is the answer to a question which appeared in the Racing Post Christmas quiz in 2001 and resulted in numerous calls to all departments at the racecourse!

In 2005, Ascot auctioned some 300 lots of memorabilia associated with the old stand. The auction raised £389,965 with Racing Welfare the primary beneficiary with the bulk of this coming from a bid of £280,000 for the wrought cast iron entranceway from the track to the Winners’ Enclosure, purchased by leading owner Bill Gredley. The crowd fell silent as the bid just kept going up and up from an original reserve of just £20,000 - £30,000!

Jockeys at Ascot are called to mount by a bell in the parade ring and, unique to Ascot, a bell is also rung as the horses swing into the straight for races run on the round course.

THE QUEEN ANNE STAKES BackgroundFirst run in 1840, the Queen Anne Stakes commemorates the monarch who established racing at Ascot. In the early summer of 1711, while being driven in a carriage from Windsor Castle, Queen Anne decided that Ascot Heath would be a good place to establish a racecourse. A few weeks later, on August 11, 1711, the Royal Meeting was founded. Between 1840 and 1929, this race was known as the Trial Stakes.

Run over Ascot’s straight mile, the Queen Anne Stakes attracts the leading older milers from across Europe and beyond. The establishment of the Pattern race system for categorising the top events in 1971 saw the Queen Anne Stakes have G3 status, before becoming a G2 in 1984. The race was elevated to G1 status in 2003, when it also became restricted to four-year-olds and older.

A remarkable renewal in 1974 saw the first three horses - Confusion, Gloss and Royal Perogative - disqualified for causing interference, with the race awarded to the Italian challenger Brook who went pass the post in fourth for trainer Mario Benetti and jockey Brian Taylor.

The race is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series and a Breeders’ Cup ‘Win and You’re In’ contest.

Notable winners includeCape Cross (1999) – went on to become a top stallion, siring Derby winners Sea The Stars and Golden Horn, plus wonderful mare Ouija Board, successful in seven G1 races including the 2006 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Goldikova (2010) – brilliant mare and winner of 14 G1 contests; became the first horse to win three renewals of the Breeders’ Cup Mile.

Frankel (2012) – perhaps the greatest racehorses of all time, with an unprecedented Timeform rating of 147; unbeaten in 14 starts, 10 of which came at G1 level; won five races at Ascot in total, including the G1 St James’s Palace Stakes, the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes sponsored by QIPCO and the G1 QIPCO Champion Stakes. His Queen Anne Stakes performance was simply breathtaking as he stormed to an 11-length success.

Tepin (2016) – became the first US-trained victor of the race and the second winner from the USA of a non-juvenile race at Royal Ascot. The champion mare, a six-time G1 winner, was later sold to Coolmore for $8 million at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky 2017 November Mixed Sale.

THE COVENTRY STAKESBackgroundThe six-furlong Coventry Stakes is the early season highlight for two-year-olds. First run in 1890, it is named after the ninth Earl of Coventry, who was Master of the Buckhounds between 1886 and 1892 and again between 1895 and 1901.

The Coventry Stakes regained G2 status in 2004, having been a G3 since 1984. It is the first Group race for two-year-olds in Britain each year.

Notable winners includeThe Tetrarch (1913) – one of the fastest two-year-olds ever and described as “the spotted wonder” after winning all seven starts as a two-year-old, including a 10-length demolition in the Coventry Stakes, before injury forced retirement; champion sire in 1919 and left lasting impression on breed through daughter and influential broodmare Mumtaz Mahal.

Mill Reef (1970) – European horse of the year in 1971 thanks to dominant victories in the Derby, Eclipse, King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe; sired winners of the Derby and 2,000 Guineas.

Chief Singer (1983) – won the Coventry Stakes by four lengths on debut; returned the following year to win the St James’s Palace Stakes by eight lengths prior to victories in the July Cup at Newmarket and Sussex Stakes at Goodwood.

Canford Cliffs (2009) – achieved rare feat of winning at Royal Ascot three years in row; romped home by six lengths in the Coventry Stakes, won the 2010 St James’s Palace Stakes during a sparkling three-year-old campaign and defeated outstanding French mare Goldikova in 2011 Queen Anne Stakes.

Coventry Stakes/2000 Guineas doubleThe double has been achieved on five occasions since the Second World War – Tudor Minstrel (1946), Palestine (1949), Martial (1959), Henrythenavigator (2007) and Dawn Approach (2012)

THE KING’S STAND STAKES BackgroundBad weather played a crucial role in the origins of the King’s Stand Stakes. In 1860 heavy rain made it impossible for the two-mile Royal Stand Plate to take place so the race was renamed the Queen’s Stand Plate and run over four furlongs, the only raceable part of the course.

The race was then run over five furlongs and, with the accession of King Edward VII in 1901, was renamed the King’s Stand Stakes, but curiously did not revert to its original name when the present monarch Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne in 1952.

The King’s Stand Stakes regained G1 status in 2008, having been a G2 since 1988, G1 from 1973 to 1987 and G2 in 1971 and 1972. There have been 11 overseas-trained winners since the turn of the century. The King’s Stand Stakes is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series.

Notable winners includeAbernant (1949) – considered the greatest sprinter of the 20th century with a Timeform rating of 142; won 14 of his 17 career starts including back-to-back victories in the July Cup, King George Stakes and Nunthorpe Stakes in 1949 and 1950.

Dayjur (1990) – followed up Ascot success by setting a course record at York in the Nunthorpe Stakes before victories in the Haydock Sprint Cup and the Prix de l’Abbaye.

Choisir (2003) – the first Australian-trained horse to win in Britain. He doubled up four days later in the six-furlong Diamond Jubilee Stakes, making him the first horse since Stanerra in 1983 to win twice at the same Royal Meeting.

Miss Andretti (2007) – the Australian-trained mare had the 2006 victor and fellow Australian Takeover Target back in fourth when setting a track record time of 57.44s (the course was remodelled in 2005), which still stands.

Blue Point (2019) – landed the King’s Stand Stakes for the second successive year and emulated Choisir later in the week by doubling up in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes; won all bar one of his six career starts at Ascot.

Multiple winnersThere have been 12 dual winners of the King’s Stand Stakes but only four since the Second World War – Elbio (1991 & 1993), Equiano (2008 & 2010), Sole Power (2013 & 2014) and Blue Point (2018 & 2019).

THE ST JAMES’S PALACE STAKESBackgroundNamed after the Tudor Royal residence, the inaugural running of the St James’s Palace Stakes in 1834 gave little indication of the high-quality and competitive fields that the race would later produce - while it attracted a Derby winner in Plenipotentiary, the colt was the only runner and consequently was allowed a walkover.

A host of Derby winners have gone on to win the St James’s Palace Stakes, notably British Triple Crown winners Ormonde (1886), Rock Sand (1903) and Bahram (1935).

In the post-war period, the Epsom graduates surrendered their dominance to the emerging category of thoroughbred, the mile specialist, and the St James’s Palace Stakes usually features colts that won or were placed in the English, Irish or French 2,000 Guineas.

The race started out with G2 status in 1971 and was promoted to G1 for the 1988 renewal. It is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series, open to three-year-old colts and staged over the round mile.

Notable winners includeTudor Minstrel (1947) – champion two-year-old of 1946; eight-length victor of the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket despite being eased down, the biggest winning distance in the Classic’s history.

Brigadier Gerard (1971) – won 17 of his 18 careers starts over distances from five furlongs to a mile and a half; successful in one of the best renewals of the 2,000 Guineas that also featured Mill Reef and My Swallow; unbeaten in five starts at Ascot.

Frankel (2011) – unbeaten in 14 starts, 10 of which came at G1 level; won five races at Ascot in total, including the Queen Anne Stakes by 11 lengths, the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes and the QIPCO Champion Stakes; rated 147 by Timeform, the highest in the organisation’s history.

THE ASCOT STAKESBackgroundFounded in 1839, the two and a half mile handicap is one of only four races at the Royal Meeting in which the field passes the winning post twice.

Trainers, whose main emphasis is Jump racing, have an enjoyed great success in the race, particularly Martin Pipe, who retired in 2006, and Willie Mullins.

Pipe, who broke many records and was Britain’s champion Jump handler 15 times, enjoyed five successes in the Ascot Stakes, while Willie Mullins, Ireland’s champion Jump trainer on 15 occasions, has gained four victories since 2012.

Notable winners includeJunior (2010) – trained by Martin Pipe’s son David, Junior completed a rare double when successful in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in 2011.

Simenon (2012) – also ran away with the Queen Alexandra Stakes later in the same week and was beaten a head by Estimate in the following year’s G1 Gold Cup.

THE WOLFERTON STAKESBackgroundThe race conditions changed in 2018, with the race becoming a Listed contest rather than a Listed handicap, which it had been since its inauguration in 2002 with the extension of Royal Ascot to a five-day meeting.

The mile and a quarter contest for older horses takes its name from the Norfolk village of Wolferton, situated near the Queen’s country retreat, the Sandringham Estate. Notable winners includeContributer (2014) – subsequently a dual G1 winner in Australia for Godolphin, capturing the Chipping Norton Stakes and Ranvet Stakes.

Addeybb (2019) – continued his excellent record at Ascot with victory in last year’s G1 QIPCO Champion Stakes; three-time G1 winner in Australia.

THE QUEEN MARY STAKESBackgroundThe Queen Mary Stakes for two-year-olds fillies was founded in honour of the consort of King George V.

Selene was runner-up in the initial running in 1921 and would later produce the great Hyperion, the Derby winner in 1933 and one of the most influential sires in history.

The five-furlong contest was promoted from G3 to G2 status in 2004 after a string of top-class winners.

Notable winners includeMumtaz Mahal (1923) – won by 10 lengths in 1923 and went on to become an important broodmare; her descendants include champions such as Abernant, Secretariat, Mill Reef, Shergar and Oh So Sharp. Marling (1991) – following an agonising defeat in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket, she gained a G1 hat-trick in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, Coronation Stakes and Sussex Stakes.

Lyric Fantasy (1992) – the first two-year-old filly to go on and win the all-aged G1 Nunthorpe Stakes (5f) at York in August.

Queen’s Logic (2001) – crowned champion two-year-old filly of Europe after a seven-length success in the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes; retired unbeaten; dam of G1 Prix de l’Abbaye heroine Lady Of The Desert.

Lady Aurelia (2016) – the most impressive of US trainer Wesley Ward’s four Queen Mary Stakes winners; made all to win by seven lengths and was impressive again when returning to Royal Ascot in 2017 to win the G1 King’s Stand Stakes.

THE QUEEN’S VASEBackgroundQueen Victoria donated a gold vase for a mile and a half race at Ascot in 1838. This race would become the Gold Cup Vase and then in 1960 was renamed the Queen’s Vase after Queen Elizabeth II. It was restricted to three-year-olds in 1987.

The distance of the Queen’s Vase was reduced to a mile and six furlongs in 2017, having previously been run at two miles, and was upgraded to G2 status for the first time, with the prize money boosted.

The 2013 renewal was called the Queen’s Vase In Memory of Sir Henry Cecil after leading trainer Sir Henry Cecil who died on June 11 that year and had sent out eight winners of this race.

Notable winners includeLe Moss (1978) – one of the greatest stayers of modern times; completed the stayers’ Triple Crown in 1979 by winning the Gold Cup, Goodwood Cup and Doncaster Cup; did the treble again in 1980, defeating future Gold Cup hero Ardross on each occasion. Joanna Morgan became the first female jockey to ride at Royal Ascot in the 1978 Queen’s Vase on Gallowshill Boy, who finished ninth.

Mamool (2002) – went on to win the 2003 G2 Yorkshire Cup before dropping back in trip and annexing two G1 prizes in Germany, notably the Grosser Preis von Baden.

Estimate (2012) – subsequently gained a memorable success in the 2013 Gold Cup, establishing Her Majesty The Queen as the first reigning monarch to win the prestigious race.

Stradivarius (2017) – prolific stayer who has won the last three editions of the Gold Cup; also a four-time winner of the G1 Goodwood Cup; crowned Europe’s champion stayer in 2018, 2019 & 2020.

Kew Gardens (2018) – captured the G1 Grand Prix de Paris next time out before winning the final British Classic, the G1 St Leger, at Doncaster; ended Stradivarius’ 10-race winning streak when the pair clashed for the first time in the G2 QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup at Ascot in October 2019, scoring by a nose.

Queen’s Vase/St Leger double The Queen’s Vase has become a classier race in recent years. This is emphasised by Leading Light (2013) and Kew Gardens (2018), both trained by Aidan O’Brien, going on to victory in the St Leger at Doncaster.

Queen’s Vase/Irish Derby doubleSantiago (2020) continued the excellent record of recent winners when going on to take the G1 Irish Derby eight days later.

THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE STAKESBackgroundThe Duke Of Cambridge Stakes was introduced in 2004 with the aim of encouraging connections to keep fillies and mares in training beyond their three-year-old campaigns.

Run over the straight mile for older fillies and mares and originally titled the Windsor Forest Stakes, the race was renamed in honour of Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, in 2013.

Notable winners includeSoviet Song (2006) – five-time G1 winner whose finest moment came when beating the boys in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in 2004.

Integral (2014) – built on her Ascot success with G1 triumphs in the Falmouth Stakes and Sun Chariot Stakes, both at Newmarket.

THE PRINCE OF WALES’S STAKESBackgroundThe Prince Of Wales’s Stakes was first run at Royal Ascot in 1862, a year after the death of Prince Albert. The popular Prince of Wales (later to become King Edward VII) had taken over many of the social duties previously carried out by his mother, Queen Victoria, who continued to remain in mourning for her late husband.

In the early years, it was mainly three-year-olds who competed in the race, then run over one mile and five furlongs. Horses often ran in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes after having participated in one or more of the Classics. In the first half of the 20th century, it generally became rarer for horses of the Classic generation to run in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes. One very notable exception was the great Hyperion, who was successful in 1933, the same year that he won the Derby and St Leger.

When racing resumed at Royal Ascot in 1946, there was no Prince Of Wales’s Stakes because George VI was on the throne and, as he had no male heirs, there was no Prince of Wales. The race did not take place again until 1968, a year before the current Prince of Wales’s investiture in 1969, with the distance changed to a mile and a quarter.

The Prince Of Wales’s Stakes, which became a G1 contest for four-year-olds and upwards in 2000, is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series and Breeders’ Cup ‘Win and You’re In’.

Notable winners includeBrigadier Gerard (1972) – won 17 of his 18 careers starts over distances from five furlongs to a mile and a half; successful in one of the best renewals of the 2,000 Guineas that also featured Mill Reef and My Swallow; Timeform rating of 144, bettered only by Frankel and Sea Bird.

Mtoto (1987 & 1988) – dual winner who won two Eclipse Stakes as well as Ascot’s King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Bosra Sham (1997) – fragile filly who showed her class with a memorable eight-length victory, having captured the 1,000 Guineas and Champion Stakes, both at Newmarket, the season before.

Dubai Millennium (2000) – one of the modern-day greats on dirt and turf; won the Dubai World Cup by six lengths before an eight-length Prince Of Wales’s Stakes victory at Royal Ascot.

Ouija Board (2006) – star racemare who racked up seven G1 successes on three continents during her career; dam of 2014 Derby winner Australia.

So You Think (2012) – won back-to-back Cox Plates, Australia’s most prestigious race, for legendary trainer Bart Cummings; continued his career in Europe for Aidan O’Brien – adding five G1s to his CV including the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes, Eclipse Stakes and Irish Champion Stakes. Multiple winnersThere have been three dual winners – Connaught (1969 & 1970), Mtoto (1987 & 1988) and Muhtarram (1994 & 1995)

THE ROYAL HUNT CUPBackgroundThe Royal Hunt Cup is not only one of the major betting races of the season but has also established itself as a tremendous spectacle. The inaugural running in 1843 was won decisively by Knight Of Whistle, but behind was a desperate battle for second place between Garry Owen, Epaulette and Bourra Tomacha - the judge could not split them and eventually awarded a triple dead-heat for the runner-up position.

The Royal Hunt Cup has long been the subject of heavy gambles and two enormous touches were landed at the turn of the 18th century. Prior to the 1900 running, Royal Flush had shown form only in minor races and appeared to be out of his depth. But his trainer, Enoch Wishard, had perfected the technique of doping and was able to induce the necessary improvement. Royal Flush won and netted a fortune for his unscrupulous American owners.

The next significant tilt at the ring was executed by the infamous Druid’s Lodge Confederacy. Lally, one of the best horses ever trained at Druid’s Lodge, was thought to be a certainty for the 1906 Derby at Epsom over a mile and a half, and was backed down to favouritism. Unable to stay the trip, he was prepared for the 1907 Royal Hunt Cup, which he won defeating Andover by half a length.

The handicap was originally over a distance of seven furlongs and 155 yards, until the course was re-aligned and a straight mile laid out in time for the 1955 meeting. A maximum field of 30 is allowed.

Fly To The Stars, favourite in 1998 to defy 9st 11lb, could not cope with 20/1 chance Refuse To Lose, but went on to success in three Group races culminating in the G1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury in 1999, demonstrating what a competitive race the Royal Hunt Cup is.

Notable winners includeMaster Vote (1947 & 1948) – the only horse to win two editions of the Royal Hunt Cup.

Buzzards Bay (1982) – completed prestigious handicap double when winning what is now the John Smith’s Cup at York the following month; returned to Ascot later in the year to win the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

Cesare (2006) – progressed into high-class miler; won four of his nine starts, with his most notable success coming in the 2007 G2 Summer Mile; also finished runner-up to Paco Boy in 2009 Queen Anne Stakes.

THE GOLD CUPBackgroundFounded in 1807, the Gold Cup is one of the most prestigious races at Royal Ascot. At two miles and four furlongs, it thoroughly tests a horse’s stamina, but is not the longest contest of the meeting, with that accolade going to the Queen Alexandra Stakes over approaching two miles and six furlongs on the final day.

Pretty Polly’s defeat by Bachelor’s Button in 1906 is arguably the race’s greatest upset. The brilliant 1904 Oaks winner seemed to be unsettled by the sweltering conditions and a wart on her belly.

Winners of the Derby rarely run in the Gold Cup nowadays, but for much of its history, the race served as the primary objective after Epsom Classic glory. West Australian, the first winner of the Triple Crown (2,000 Guineas, Derby, St Leger), The Flying Dutchman (1850), Gladiateur (1866) and Isinglass (1895) are other famous winners of both races. Ocean Swell, successful in 1945, is the last horse to have completed the Derby/Gold Cup double. Blakeney, who finished runner-up in 1970, is the most recent Derby winner to line up.

The Gold Cup is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series.

Notable winners includeSagaro (1975, 1976 & 1977) – one of the greatest stayers of all time and the first horse to win the Gold Cup on three occasions; renowned for being a stayer with a true turn of foot, he also won the Grand Prix de Paris and the Prix du Cadran.

Ardross (1981 & 1982) – part of a vintage era of stayers that also included Sagaro and Le Moss; went down by three-quarters of a length to Le Moss in the 1980 Gold Cup before going on to dominate the staying division for the next two years; beaten a head on final appearance in Europe’s premier middle-distance contest, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, in 1982.

Yeats (2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009) – the only horse to win the Gold Cup four times; one-time Derby contender who took the Coronation Cup as a four-year-old; also won the Irish St Leger, the Prix Royal-Oak and the Goodwood Cup; became the oldest winner (8yo) of the Gold Cup since Merman in 1900 when gaining his fourth success in 2009 and is commemorated with a statue in Ascot’s parade ring.

Estimate (2013) – The Queen’s stayer created history by becoming the first horse owned by a reigning monarch to win the Gold Cup. A half-sister to the 1999 Gold Cup winner Enzeli, Estimate also won the Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot in 2012.

Stradivarius (2018, 2019 & 2020) – has ruled the staying division in recent seasons; his big race haul also includes four Goodwood Cups, two Lonsdale Cups, as well as further success at Ascot in the Queen’s Vase, QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup and Sagaro Stakes.

Overseas-trained winners (since 1946)France (15) – Caracalla II (1946), Souverain (1947), Arbar (1948), Pan II (1951), Elpenor (1954), Macip (1956), Wallaby II (1959), Sheshoon (1960), Balto (1962), Pardallo II (1968), Lassalle (1973), Sagaro (1975, 1976 & 1977), Westerner (2005) Ireland (11) – Gladness (1958), Levmoss (1969), Enzeli (1999), Yeats (2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009), Rite Of Passage (2010), Fame And Glory (2011), Leading Light (2014), Order Of St George (2016) Italy (1) – Botticelli (1955)

THE BUCKINGHAM PALACE HANDICAPBackgroundThe Buckingham Palace Handicap was reinstated in 2020 as part of the extended race programme following a six-year hiatus.

It was originally introduced to the expanded Royal meeting in 2002, the year of The Queen’s Golden Jubilee, and named after Her Majesty’s London residence. Staged over seven furlongs for three-year-olds and upwards, the contest typically attracted a maximum field and was one of the big betting races on Friday. It was removed from the race programme ahead of Royal Ascot 2015 to allow space for the G1 Commonwealth Cup.

Notable winners includeJedburgh (2005) – subsequently captured the G3 Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh for his owner-breeder, The Earl Cadogan; also runner-up in Goodwod’s G2 Celebration Mile.

Regal Parade (2008) – undoubtedly the best horse to win the Buckingham Palace Handicap; went on to win the Ayr Gold Cup later in the season and proved even better as he got older, taking the 2009 G1 Haydock Sprint Cup and the G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville in 2010.

THE ALBANY STAKESBackgroundThis race was first run in 2002 as the Henry Carnarvon Stakes, honouring The Queen’s late racing manager, and the Listed race proved so successful that it was promoted to G3 status in 2005.

Restricted to two-year-old fillies, the six-furlong contest provides one of the first opportunities of the season for promising types to prove their ability and go on to harbour Guineas’ aspirations.

Notable winners includeSamitar (2011) – progressed to land the Irish 1,000 Guineas in 2012.

Cursory Glance (2014) – successful in the G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes later in the season.

Brave Anna (2016) – subsequently triumphed in G1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket in the autumn.

THE KING EDWARD VII STAKESBackgroundFormerly known by the name, and still colloquially referred to as the Ascot Derby, the King Edward VII Stakes was inaugurated in 1834 and regularly featured horses of both sexes who had competed in the middle-distance Classics.

First run as the King Edward VII Stakes in 1926 and now restricted to three-year-old colts and geldings, the G2 contest still attracts horses that have competed in the Derby and takes place over a mile and a half.

Notable winners includeSupreme Court (1951), Ile De Borbon (1978) & Nathaniel (2011) – all progressed to win the G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in the same season.

Shareef Dancer (1983) – won the G1 Irish Derby next time out; dam sire of Dubai Millennium.

Light Cavalry (1980) & Mutafaweq (1999) – both subsequently won the final British Classic, the G1 St Leger at Doncaster in September.

Japan (2019) – after a close third in the Derby, proved arguably the best middle-distance colt of his generation with G1 victories in the Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp and the Juddmonte International at York.

THE COMMONWEALTH CUPBackgroundThe inaugural running of the Commonwealth Cup in 2015 marked the first Group One sprint contest in Europe confined to three-year-olds.

It was also the first new race in the 44-year history of the European Pattern to go straight in with G1 status, rather than with a probationary period at a lower level or no grade at all.

All 18 runners had already secured black type, while 13 were Group or Listed winners. Muhaarar, an Oasis Dream colt owned by Hamdan Al Maktoum and trained by Charlie Hills, was the most impressive winner, coming home clear of future G1 victor Limato.

The stunning victory was no fluke as Muhaarar remained unbeaten for the rest of the year in three more G1 sprints, the Darley July Cup, the Prix Maurice De Gheest and the QIPCO British Champions Sprint, becoming European Champion Sprinter.

Other notable winners include

Quiet Reflection (2016) – proved more than a match for her elders later that season with a dominant victory in the G1 Sprint Cup at Haydock Park.

Caravaggio (2017) – doubled his tally at Royal Ascot, after a brilliant victory in the 2016 Coventry Stakes, in an oustanding renewal of the race; chased home by Harry Angel, who ended the year as Europe’s champion sprinter, and Blue Point, who in 2019 emulated Choisir by winning the King’s Stand Stakes and Diamond Jubilee Stakes.

THE CORONATION STAKESBackgroundFirst run in 1840, the Coronation Stakes was founded to commemorate the crowning of Queen Victoria in 1838. The mile event for three-year-olds became the fillies’ equivalent of the St James’s Palace Stakes and established itself as a natural progression for fillies who had run creditably in the the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket in early May.

The first filly to complete the 1,000 Guineas/Coronation Stakes double was the Jos Dawson-trained Lady Augusta in 1863. Twelve fillies have done the double in the post-war period – Belle Of All (1951), Zabara (1952), Happy Laughter (1953), Festoon (1954), Fleet (1967), Humble Duty (1970), One In A Million (1979), Russian Rhythm (2003), Attraction (2004), Ghanaati (2009), Sky Lantern (2013) and Winter (2017).

The Coronation Stakes, run over the round mile, is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series and was promoted to G1 status in 1988.

Notable winners includePretty Polly (1904) – one of the greatest fillies of all time. Won 22 of her 24 races, including the 1,000 Guineas, Oaks, St Leger, two renewals of the Coronation Cup and the Champion Stakes; went on to become an outstanding broodmare.

Book Law (1927) – runner-up in the 1,000 Guineas before going on to Classic glory in the St Leger at Doncaster over three quarters of a mile further; was the dam of Archive, who went on to sire brilliant chaser Arkle.

Meld (1955) – gained the fillies’ Triple Crown with victories in the 1,000 Guineas, Oaks and St Leger; dam of the 1966 Derby winner Charlottown.

Humble Duty (1970) – top miler, who won the 1,000 Guineas by seven lengths, and then Goodwood’s Sussex Stakes.

Ridgewood Pearl (1995) – a G1 winner in four countries, winning the Irish 1,000 Guineas, the Prix Du Moulin de Longchamp in France and the Breeders’ Cup Mile in addition to her Royal Ascot success.

Attraction (2004) – captured the 1,000 Guineas, Irish 1,000 Guineas and the Coronation Stakes, despite being born with crooked forelegs; also won the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot during an unbeaten juvenile campaign.

Alpha Centauri (2018) – won by six lengths in a new track record time of 1m 35.89s, over a second inside the previous best set by Barney Roy in the 2017 St James’s Palace Stakes; won four G1 mile prizes in 2018.

Overseas-trained winners (since 1946)Ireland (15) – Display (1962), Calve (1972), Lisadell (1974), Orchestration (1977), Sutton Place (1978), Cairn Rouge (1980), Flame Of Tara (1983), Kooyonga (1991), Ridgewood Pearl (1995), Sophisticat (2002), Lush Lashes (2008), Lille Langtry (2010), Winter (2017), Alpha Centauri (2018), Alpine Star (2020)France (12) – Midget II (1956), Toro (1957), Barbaresque (1960), Kesar Queen (1976), Golden Opinion (1989), Gold Splash (1993), Shake The Yoke (1996), Banks Hill (2001), Immortal Verse (2011), Ervedya (2015), Qemah (2016), Watch Me (2019)

THE CHESHAM STAKESBackgroundFirst run in 1919, the Chesham Stakes takes its name from the third Baron Chesham, who was the last Master of the Buckhounds at Ascot (1900-1901) – the role was replaced by His or Her Majesty’s Representative at Ascot on King Edward VII’s accession to the throne.

The Chesham Stakes took over from the first leg of the Triennial Stakes, a five-furlong two-year-old contest. The middle leg of the Triennial Stakes, a seven-furlong contest for three-year-olds, became the Jersey Stakes, while the final leg, for four-year-olds over two miles, became the Churchill Stakes.

Extended to its current distance of seven furlongs in 1996 after being run at five furlongs and then six furlongs, the Chesham Stakes is restricted to two-year-olds whose dam or sire won over a distance in excess of nine and a half furlongs (or 1900m).

Notable winners includeAbernant (1948) – champion juvenile of 1948 with victories in the Champagne Stakes and Middle Park Stakes to add to his Royal Ascot success; beaten a short-head in the following year’s 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket before establishing himself as a brilliant sprinter.

Major Portion (1957) – went on to capture the Middle Park Stakes before returning to Ascot to win the St James’s Palace Stakes in 1958; also successful in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes and Sussex Stakes.

THE HARDWICKE STAKES BackgroundFirst run in 1879 and named after the fifth Earl of Hardwicke, Master of the Buckhounds between 1874 and 1879. Initially run as a weight-for-age conditions race open to three-year-olds, the 12-furlong contest is now for four-year-olds and upwards.

Early winners of the Hardwicke Stakes include Tristan, the only three-time victor (1882-1884) who also captured the July Cup, the Coronation Cup twice and the Gold Cup in an outstanding career, and the brilliant Triple Crown winner Ormonde (1886 & 1887).

The race conditions were enhanced in 2012, with no penalties for G1 or G2 winners, along with a significant injection of prize money.

Notable winners includeAureole (1954) – one of Her Majesty The Queen’s best horses; second in the 1953 Derby and followed up success in the Hardwicke Stakes with victory in the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, becoming the first horse to complete that big-race double; went on to become champion sire in Britain.

Rheingold (1973) – also runner-up in the previous year’s Derby and subsequently defeated the mighty Allez France in the 1973 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

Stanerra (1983) – top-class mare who became the first horse since Shaddock in 1896 to win both the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes and the Hardwicke Stakes at the same Royal Ascot, breaking the track record in the latter race; captured the Japan Cup later that year.

Harbinger (2010) – the most recent of five horses to follow up victory in the Hardwicke Stakes by taking the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes, joining Aureole (1954), Aggressor (1960), Park Top (1969) and Doyen (2004); won the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes by a record 11 lengths, a performance judged to be the best in the world that year by the World Thoroughbred Rankings, before a leg injury forced retirement. Overseas-trained winners (since 1977)Ireland (6) – Meneval (1977), Stanerra (1983), Oscar Schindler (1996), Macarthur (2008), Await The Dawn (2011), Idaho (2017)France (2) – Montcontour (1978), Scorpio (1980)

THE DIAMOND JUBILEE STAKESBackgroundRoyal Ascot’s most valuable sprint became the Diamond Jubilee Stakes in 2012 in recognition of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s ascension to throne in 1952. It was elevated to Group One status to celebrate the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002 and run as the Golden Jubilee Stakes from 2002 - 2011. Prior to 2002, the contest was known as the Cork & Orrery Stakes.

The inaugural running of this six-furlong contest took place in 1868. The race was named the Cork & Orrery Stakes after Lord Cork, a Master of the Buckhounds, from 1926 to 2001. It was restricted to four-year-olds and upwards with the first running of the Commonwealth Cup in 2015. The Diamond Jubilee Stakes is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series and Breeders’ Cup ‘Win and You’re In’.

Notable winners includeRight Boy (1958 & 1959) – the last of this race’s six multiple winners, Right Boy also won the King’s Stand Stakes in 1957; one of the leading post-War sprinters, he also gained two victories in both the July Cup and the Nunthorpe Stakes.

Danehill (1989) – top sprinter who also won the Haydock Sprint Cup in 1989 before going on to establish himself as one of the most influential stallions of modern times, becoming champion sire in both Europe and Australia.

Choisir (2002) – the first Australian-trained horse to triumph in Britain, annexing both the King’s Stand Stakes and the Diamond Jubilee Stakes in the same year – the first horse to complete the Royal Ascot sprint double since Diadem in 1920.

Black Caviar (2012) – one of the best sprinters of all-time and unbeaten in 25 starts in a glittering career. The Australian-trained mare had already won 11 G1 races before lining up in the 2012 Diamond Jubilee Stakes and scored at odds of 1/6, despite jockey Luke Nolen almost snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by easing up near the line.

Blue Point (2019) – emulated Choisir by winning the King’s Stand Stakes and Diamond Jubilee Stakes in the same week; also captured the King’s Stand Stakes in 2018.

THE WOKINGHAM HANDICAPBackgroundThe inaugural Wokingham took place in 1813, making the race the oldest of the handicaps still run at Royal Ascot.

The famous sprint, which has been run over six furlongs since its inception, is named after the market town seven miles from the Royal course.

The attraction of a handicap as a betting medium was a prime reason for the Wokingham’s initial success.

Pointers, the first winner, was owned by the Duke of York.

Notable winners includeFayr Jag (DH 2003) – dead-heated with Ratio before returning to Royal Ascot a year later to capture the G1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes.

Iffraaj (2005) – readily won by two lengths in 2005, when the Royal Meeting was run at York due to the redevelopment of Ascot; subsequently won three G2 races and was beaten a head in the 2006 G1 July Cup before establishing himself as a top stallion.

Laddies Poker Two (2010) - had been off the racecourse for 610 days before scoring emphatically for trainer Jeremy Noseda; the talented but fragile mare, who didn’t race following her Royal Ascot success, is the dam of the dual Guineas and 2017 Coronation Stakes winner Winter.

Overseas-trained winners (since 1960)Ireland (3) – Boone’s Cabin (1975), Time Machine (1985), Dandy Boy (2012)France (1) – Ratio (DH 2003)

THE QUEEN ALEXANDRA STAKESBackgroundNamed after the consort of King Edward VII, the Queen Alexandra Stakes was first run in 1864 as the Alexandra Plate over three miles.

Now contested over nearly two and three quarter miles (2m 5f 143y), it is not only the longest race of the meeting, but also the longest contest run under Flat racing rules in Britain.

Notable winners includeBrown Jack (1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933 & 1934) – won the Champion Hurdle and Ascot Stakes in 1928, but is better known for his remarkable six consecutive victories in the Queen Alexandra Stakes; also successful in the Goodwood Cup, Doncaster Cup, Chester Cup and the Ebor Handicap. One of the most popular horses of the 20th century, he is commemorated at Ascot by the Brown Jack Handicap, a two-mile handicap run in July.

*Ryan Moore set a new post-war record of nine winners for a single Royal Ascot Meeting in 2015. The previous best total of eight since 1945 was achieved by Lester Piggott in 1965 and 1975 and Pat Eddery in 1989 when Royal Ascot took place over four rather than the current five days. Royal Ascot expanded to five days in 2002. The best ever score by a jockey at Royal Ascot is 12, set by Fred Archer in 1878.

Among current jockeys, two are dominant – Ryan Moore has topped the table eight times in the last 11 years, while Frankie Dettori has been the Royal Ascot champion seven times.

Three female riders have enjoyed success at Royal Ascot: Gay Kelleway (Sprowston Boy – 1987 Queen Alexandra Stakes);Hayley Turner (Thanks Be – 2019 Sandringham Handicap & Onassis – 2020 Sandringham Handicap); Hollie Doyle (Scarlet Dragon - 2020 Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap). Joanna Morgan became the first female jockey to ride at Royal Ascot in the 1978 Queen’s Vase on Gallowshill Boy, who finished ninth.
