WELCOME TO ROYAL ASCOT FROM HER MAJESTY’S REPRESENTATIVE

It is so exciting to have a full-scale Royal Ascot in operation for the first time since 2019 – even more so in this very special Platinum Jubilee year. The five days of Royal Ascot 2022 will be a fabulous display of elite Thoroughbred racing as we celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s extraordinary achievement. We all hope that another winner in the Royal colours will be added to The Queen’s current tally of 24 winners at the Royal Meeting since 1952.

We are committed to playing our part in ensuring British racing maintains its position as a world-leading industry. In 2022, we are providing record prize money of £8.6 million across the 35 races – an increase of 18% on 2019 values. Two of the feature events, the Prince of Wales’s Stakes on Wednesday and the renamed Platinum Jubilee Stakes on Saturday, become the first £1 million races at Royal Ascot. Our eight Group 1 races and a total of 22 Pattern or Listed level contests attract the greatest concentration of equine talent at a single race meeting anywhere in the world. This year we are expecting competitors from Japan, America, Australia, Ireland, France, Czech Republic and Germany, all aiming to take on the leading British hopes. Each of the five days of Royal Ascot are World Pool events, meaning that people betting into the pool benefit from increased liquidity and better value. Hosted by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, with whom we launched the venture in 2019, many countries around the world are expected to bet into the Ascot pool.

All of the racecourse enclosures are open again and we are thrilled to be welcoming back everyone who wishes to attend, following a year behind closed doors and then a year with restricted crowds in 2021. We have made some reductions to the capacities across the three main enclosures this year, ensuring that all of our guests will be able to enjoy a little bit more space. Of course, much has changed throughout the last couple of years, and on the track the emergence of Hollie Doyle, Cieren Fallon and Marco Ghiani represents a talented new generation of jockeys. Much remains familiar though, and I am sure that many of you will be hoping that Frankie Dettori can add to his already astonishing tally of 76 Royal Ascot winners throughout the week. Ever the showman, at the age of 51 he remains at the top of his game, and who would bet against him eventually getting close to Lester Piggott’s all-time record of 116 winners at the Royal Meeting.

We look forward to welcoming visitors from across the globe and it will be particularly enjoyable for many friends in the racing world to see each other for the first time in three years. We hope that the millions watching on ITV, Sky Sports Racing, NBC in the USA and Green Channel Japan, as well as many other global networks, enjoy it just as much as those of us lucky enough to be present. I hope that you have a wonderful week.

The hugely popular Stradivarius is still in training at the age of eight and a second attempt at winning a fourth Gold Cup will be a much-anticipated moment. So, too, will Baaeed’s likely appearance in the Queen Anne Stakes. Not since Frankel have we had a miler quite as exciting as this, and all eyes will be on him in the traditional curtain-raiser.

Sir Francis Brooke BT. Her Majesty’s Representative

We are hugely grateful to QIPCO, Longines and Howden, our three Official Partners, as well as to all our Official Sponsors and Suppliers. This year we welcome Peroni Nastro Azzurro for the first time as the Official Beer of Ascot Racecourse. We also welcome Slingsby as our Official Gin Supplier.

RECORD PRIZE MONEY AT ROYAL ASCOT 2022

T

he Royal Ascot racing programme will once again feature the highest concentration of equine talent seen at any meeting across the world.

and the King Edward VII Stakes will be run as race six. These changes will provide a more balanced programme with the conclusion of Thursday and Friday more varied, where there were three consecutive handicaps in place last year.

Permanently expanded to 35 races in 2021, there are eight Group 1 races across the Royal Meeting and a total of 22 Pattern or Listed level events throughout the week.

Initial early closing entries for the Royal Meeting were strong, with representation from nine countries including Australia, America and Japan.

A record £8,652,500 of prize money will be on offer, an increase of 18% on the 2019 values which totalled £7,330,000. This will include Royal Ascot’s first £2 million day on the Tuesday, featuring three Group 1 races with The Queen Anne Stakes as the traditional curtain-raiser followed by the King’s Stand Stakes and the St James’s Palace Stakes.

Last year’s Japanese Derby winner, Shahryar, is set to lead that nation’s bid for a first Royal Ascot victory in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes and he was joined on the plane over by Grenadier Guards, who is set to run in the Platinum Jubilee Stakes. Nature Strip, the pride of Australian sprinting, is set for a much anticipated showdown with leading American sprinter, Golden Pal, in the King’s Stand Stakes. The latter spearheads the powerful Wesley Ward team.

On the Wednesday, The Prince of Wales’s Stakes will be the first Royal Ascot race to be worth £1 million and the newly-named Platinum Jubilee Stakes (formerly the Diamond Jubilee Stakes) will also have a total prize fund of £1 million on the Saturday.

Home Affairs, like Nature Strip trained by Chris Waller, and Artorius are set to represent Australia in the Platinum Jubilee Stakes.

No race at Royal Ascot will be run for less than £100,000. Prize money is racing’s equivalent of remunerating the players on the pitch and the money on offer at Royal Ascot is crucial to ensure the best horses run at the meeting, maintaining international investment in British racing.

In addition to the Ward Team, US trainer Christophe Clement is set to have his first runners at Royal Ascot, headlined by last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies’ Turf winner, Pizza Bianca, and Graham Motion returns with his top filly Spendarella.

Additionally for this year, there are some minor changes to the order of running on day three and day four.

Domestically, Stradivarius is on track to try and match Yeats’ record four wins in The Gold Cup while superstar Baaeed’s appearance in the Queen Anne Stakes will be eagerly anticipated.

On Thursday, the Group 3 Hampton Court Stakes moves from race two to race six, with the King George V Stakes moving to race two in a straight swap. While on Friday, the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup moves to race two, the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes moves to race three

ROYAL ASCOT GOING REPORTS PLANNING & REAL-TIME WEATHER DATA

GOINGSTICK & MOISTURE READINGS PLAN:

Live weather data and track conditions will once again be available for Royal Ascot in 2022 through WeatherTrax Live available on Ascot’s website via https://www.ascot.com/ thegoing

TUESDAY 7TH JUNE GoingStick reading pre entries confirmation (reading by around 2pm)

In 2020, 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.

FRIDAY 10TH JUNE Reading early afternoon SUNDAY 12TH JUNE Reading to be completed by 8am ahead of Day One declarations

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.

MONDAY 13TH JUNE Reading to be completed by 8am ahead of Day Two declarations

Chris Stickels, Head of Racing and Clerk of the Course at Ascot Racecourse said: “We continue to have excellent feedback regarding the live weather data that was used by owners, trainers, jockeys, racing followers, punters, media and broadcasters.

TUESDAY 14TH – SATURDAY 18TH JUNE Readings completed daily by 8am

“The system has been in place for every raceday since Royal Ascot 2020 and once again people will be able to monitor weather conditions and check for Going updates remotely in real time during this year’s Royal Meeting. We hope it will be informative and useful for those enjoying the racing all over the world.”

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.

Alongside the WeatherTrax Live data, from 7th June, daily Going reports will be provided combined with GoingStick readings coinciding with the timing of entries and declarations. Going maps, rail positions and irrigation information will also be available.

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.

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.

VIVIEN CURRIE MBE APPOINTED CHIEF EXECUTIVE AT ASCOT

V

ivien Currie MBE has been announced as the new Chief Executive at Ascot Racecourse, succeeding Guy Henderson CVO, who will retire on 30th June 2022 following his eighth Royal Meeting as CEO. Vivien has been Chief Executive of Hamilton Park Racecourse since 2008, during which time the business has developed a wider commercial focus, diversifying into the award-winning, multifaceted events business that it is today. Her achievements at Hamilton Park have ranged from improving the racecourse experience for owners, trainers, jockeys, and stable staff to building an awardwinning £10 million ‘Hampton By Hilton’ hotel on course. Within two years of her arrival at Hamilton Park, Vivien was appointed a Non-Executive Director of the Racecourse Association (2010 – 2016) which included four years as Vice Chair. She was then appointed as a Members’ Nominated Director of the British Horseracing Authority (2016 - 2019). Vivien received an MBE in the 2020 New Year’s Honours List for her services

to racecourse management, business, and charity. Trained as a Chartered Accountant, Vivien spent 12 years with Ernst & Young and subsequently worked for Damovo, graduating to the role of Executive Vice President, Global Sales & Solutions. She then moved into football as Chief Executive of Livingston FC, sitting on the Scottish Football League Management Committee, before moving into racing in her current role. Sir Francis Brooke Bt., Her Majesty’s Representative and Chairman at Ascot, said: “Vivien’s career is a compelling combination of strategic, commercial and racecourse management experience. This made her the outstanding candidate for this role, in what was a thorough and wide-ranging search conducted with the help of Spencer Stuart. “She is very familiar with the structure of the British racing industry both from the perspective of Hamilton Park and her terms on both the BHA and RCA boards. “She has wide-ranging interests in sport

and business and has also been a long term and active supporter of Marie Curie Cancer Care. “The whole Board is much looking forward to welcoming her to Ascot. “Vivien will join as CEO designate in April and work alongside Guy in the lead up to the delivery of Royal Ascot in the Platinum Jubilee Year. On 30th June she will take over as CEO when Guy retires at the end of what has been an outstanding tenure.” Vivien Currie, incoming Chief Executive at Ascot, said: “I am delighted to have been chosen as the next Chief Executive of Ascot Racecourse and to be joining the team for what will be a very exciting year ahead. This role is a culmination of all the experiences I have had in my professional career to date and I am looking forward enormously to working with Guy in the build up to Royal Ascot in June.”


ASCOT RACECOURSE MOVES TO REDUCE DENSITY AT ROYAL MEETING TO IMPROVE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

A

s part of a long-term ambition and following feedback from racegoers attending the smaller scale Royal Ascot in 2021, capacity numbers have been reduced across the Royal Enclosure, Queen Anne Enclosure and Windsor Enclosure for all five days of the Royal Meeting.

“A key message in the feedback from the 2021 Royal Meeting, when attendance was limited to 12,000 per day as part of the Government’s Events Research Programme, was that people really appreciated the benefit of additional space. “This set us on a journey to look at how we could reduce density to improve comfort across the site going forward in a ‘normal’ scenario. Incorporating feedback from previous years and other racedays, it became clear to us that we needed to make a fundamental change in terms of the capacities across the site.

In the Royal Enclosure, capacity on each day will be reduced by 1,000 people while the Royal Enclosure Gardens will be extended, creating a new area for circulation next to the track. Capacities for the Queen Anne and Windsor Enclosures will be reduced by 4,150 and 2,000 respectively and new facilities will be introduced.

“This was especially the case in our premier public area – the Queen Anne Enclosure – and reducing the number of people there significantly and investing in improved facilities will deliver a much better environment for people to enjoy the world-class racing on show.

The Village Enclosure, located on the Heath in the middle of the course, will be in operation for the first time since 2019 where there is the space and scope to expand on the previous capacity of 6,500.

“It is crucial that we protect the unique and very special sense of occasion that people feel when they come to Royal Ascot and we hope that these changes will provide an enhanced experience for all our racegoers.”

Felicity Barnard, Commercial Director at Ascot, said: “We are really pleased to be making these customer-focused changes to Royal Ascot this summer. They will provide an improved experience for all our racegoers across the three main enclosures, ensuring a more enjoyable atmosphere and better access to facilities throughout the site.

Other international broadcasters due to be on site include Sky Thoroughbred Central and Racing.com from Australia, the Dubai Racing Channel, The Green Channel from Japan, TVG from America, as well as Equidia from France and a host of other European channels.

World Pool will once again be in operation on all five days of Royal Ascot, allowing racegoers and remote bettors the opportunity to bet into a global pool consisting of over 20 countries. World Pool is now in its fourth year, having started at Royal Ascot in 2019. World Pool was created by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, in partnership with the UK Tote and Ascot Racecourse, and is a collaboration of over 20 operators, enabling bettors from all over the globe to bet into a single pool. The result is increased liquidity, and a multi-million pound betting experience. It is proving ever popular with racing fans and is generating a significant financial return for racing. All 35 races at Royal Ascot will again be included in the World Pool. Last year generated total turnover of £129m worldwide across the Royal Meeting with Britain, Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore, South Africa and the US betting into a single pool, helping to create greater value for customers either via Bet with Ascot on course or remotely. The First Two (Exacta) and the Bet with Ascot Treble, covering the last three races of each day, will be included for the first time this year. The bet types included in World Pool available through Bet with Ascot therefore are:

Decided by an industry representative, the member of racing staff from the yard who looks after the horse awarded “World Pool Moment of the Day” will win £1,000 and a bottle of champagne. An award will be made following the 16 World Pool days with an overall winner, determined by a combination of scores derived from a public vote and an industry panel, announced on QIPCO British Champions Day. The overall “World Pool Moment of the Year” winner will receive £34,000 for the staff and yard (making the overall prize £50,000).

£25,000 Stable Bonuses for QIPCO King George Diamond Day and the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Ascot’s next World Pool day is QIPCO King George Day, 23rd July, which has been reshaped to create a compelling mix of quality and competitive racing in order to incentivise owners and trainers to target the supporting races on the day, to the benefit of the World Pool. In tandem, there will be additional £25,000 stable prizes offered on both QIPCO King George Day and Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Day (6th August 2022). These will be awarded £20,000 to the trainers and £5,000 to stable staff across the top three performing yards based on points achieved for first to fifth placings.

Select the first two finished in either order

The place terms for all races are determined by the number of declared runners and are as follows: • 4 declared runners: No place pool • 5 or 6 declared runners: 1st or 2nd (void if less than 4 actual runners) • 7-20 declared runners: 1st, 2nd or 3rd (3 places remain if 5 or 6 runners, void if less than 5 actual runners) • 21 – 34 declared runners: 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th (4 places remain for 20 or less runners)

HORSE WELFARE AT ROYAL ASCOT

The safety and welfare of horses and jockeys is paramount at Royal Ascot. In recent years several major changes have been made to the racecourse to improve welfare standards.

Five specifically qualified equine vets are on duty every day at Royal Ascot, dedicated to the welfare of all the horses. During each race, vets follow the runners by car and can respond to and attend an incident generally within a minute – as fast as the paramedic teams responsible for jockeys.

During the redevelopment between 2004-2006, a safer race track was created by cambering the home and old paddock bends and removing the road crossing over the track, replacing them with underpasses.

There are three equine ambulances 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 to assist with swift diagnosis before administration of treatment on site or any movement necessary to equine hospitals.

Further improvements to equine welfare provision were made as part of a £700,000 project to create a new enhanced unsaddling area in 2016. Increased in size to accommodate large field races more comfortably, 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.

The jockeys’ facilities at Ascot include a medical treatment room, rest rooms and a dedicated room for physiotherapy. There are six doctors on site specifically to deal with any jockey injuries.

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 delivering a more efficient watering system.

ALISTAIR HAGGIS REMEMBERED AT ASCOT WITH OPENING OF NEW PRESS ROOM

A

scot’s newly opened Press Room has been dedicated to Alistair Haggis, who was an integral part of the press team at Ascot for nearly 25 years.

Respected and liked, by everyone in the industry, Alistair began his career at the International Racing Bureau, worked at Newmarket Racecourses periodically and was a key member of the British Champions Series team from its launch in 2011.

Alistair is always particularly remembered at the annual Shergar Cup meeting in August, which he was instrumental in establishing and developing.

Alistair tragically died of Motor Neurone Disease in 2014.

ASCOT ONE OF SIX TO WIN

INAUGURAL RACEHORSE SYNDICATES ASSOCIATION RACECOURSE AWARD

A

scot Racecourse has won an inaugural racecourse award for excellence in syndicate owner raceday experience. Members of the Racehorse Syndicates Association (RSA) voted to award six courses with an award for excellence when dealing with syndicates and racing clubs. Other courses awarded the RSA Award for recognition of providing an outstanding ownership experience for shared-ownership groups included Fontwell, Newmarket, Southwell, Uttoxeter and York. All those awarded showed flexibility towards shared-ownership groups and provided an exceptional ownership experience for RSA members over the past 12 months. RSA Chairman, Dan Abraham of Foxtrot Racing, said:

“The Racehorse Syndicates Association are delighted to recognise those courses who have shown excellence in liaising with shared-ownership groups, including flexibility around badges, meals and paddock access.

RSA members, who represent around 8,000 syndicate owners, were invited to provide feedback on their racecourse ownership experience and it was these qualitative reviews which provided the basis for the awards.

Syndication is growing, and therefore the role of racecourses in providing an outstanding ownership experience to shared-ownership groups is vitally important to our sport.”

2022 is the first year such awards have been granted and these will now take place annually.

CELEBRATING THE

PLATINUM JUBILEE 25


ASCOT RACECOURSE

ANNOUNCES PLATINUM JUBILEE PLANS FOR 2022 Ascot Racecourse is delighted to announce a series of special celebrations in honour of Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

S

ynonymous with excellence and steeped in history, the spectacle that is Royal Ascot promises to bring five days of high-drama and sporting excitement to viewers, further enhanced this year with the newly named Platinum Jubilee Stakes on Saturday, tree plantings as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy campaign, and a one-off closing party around the Ascot Bandstand to close the event following racing on Saturday. Over the course of the Royal Meeting, recognition will be made to Her Majesty across all areas of the racecourse, including a Landau Carriage and Silver Rolls Royce on display from the Royal Household and a specially designed flower wall inspired by Her Majesty The Queen’s Coronation and Platinum Jubilee. 70 new oak trees have been planted in Windsor Great Park, as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy “Plant a tree for the Jubilee” project. On Tuesday 10th May, each tree was dedicated to one of 70 local schools, marking each year of Her Majesty The Queen’s reign. In keeping with previous Jubilee celebrations, the Group 1 six-furlong sprint on Saturday’s card has been renamed the Platinum Jubilee Stakes having been run as the Golden Jubilee Stakes from 2002 and then the Diamond Jubilee Stakes from 2012. The race is one of the feature contests of the week and this year it will be worth £1 million in prize money for the first time ever. The racecourse’s charitable division – Ascot Racecourse Supports – will run a ballot which will donate 500 pairs of tickets to local residents and will welcome the Armed Forces Charities and their volunteers on Wednesday and Friday and offer two-for-one tickets to military personnel on those days. Ascot was the headline sponsor of Sunninghill & Ascot Parish Council’s Party in the Park which included music, food and entertainment, culminating in a ‘lighting of the Beacon’ – a national event with 1,500 simultaneous beacons being lit across the UK. The week will draw to an end with a Platinum Jubilee themed closing party for guests in the Royal Enclosure and Queen Anne Enclosure on Saturday with live performances centred around the Ascot Bandstand.

70 NEW OAK TREES

PLANTED IN WINDSOR GREAT PARK AS PART OF THE QUEEN’S GREEN CANOPY PROJECT

H

er Majesty’s Representative at Ascot Racecourse, Sir Francis Brooke Bt., and Paul Sedgwick, Deputy Ranger & Managing Director of Windsor & Rural, Crown Estate, planted the last of 70 new oak trees in Windsor Great Park, as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy “Plant a tree for the Jubilee” project. The trees have been planted adjacent to the Royal Procession route from Windsor Castle to the Racecourse, along Duke’s Lane, and are intertwined with existing, mature oak trees. On Tuesday 10th May, each tree was dedicated to one of 70 local schools, marking each year of Her Majesty The Queen’s reign.

“We are delighted to be working with Ascot on this important project. As a part of The Queen’s Green Canopy project, we have also planted two new avenues, each of 70 trees in The Great Park. These avenues, together with the trees planted with the team from Ascot, will be a lasting reminder of the unique and historic occasion of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.” Timothy Griffith, Headteacher, Ranelagh School, said: “At the heart of our school’s culture is our commitment to being a dynamic learning community that is rooted in Christianity. As such, I cannot think of a more

Sir Francis Brooke Bt., Her Majesty’s Representative and Chairman at Ascot, said: “Planting these trees has been a tremendous joint venture with the Crown Estate. They complement the existing oaks on Duke’s Lane, replenishing that section of the Royal Procession route as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy ‘Plant a tree for the Jubilee’ project. Paul Sedgwick, Deputy Ranger & Managing Director of Windsor & Rural, Crown Estate, added:

ASCOT RACECOURSE UNVEILS

ANNUAL STYLE GUIDE

FEATURING FASHION MUSE, ACTRESS AND MODEL GRETA BELLAMACINA AND HER ARTIST HUSBAND ROBERT MONTGOMERY The 2022 Style Guide heralds a new creative direction for Royal Ascot, celebrating the very best in sartorial elegance and a reacquaintance with British occasion dressing The Royal Ascot Style Guide establishes the official Dress Code of the Royal Meeting with looks curated by stylist Rachel Bakewell and imagery produced by fashion photographer Tung Walsh. The 11th edition of the Royal Ascot Style Guide also features rising British style icon, actress, and model Greta Bellamacina, and her artist husband Robert Montgomery. Showcasing a variety of looks to suit all tastes and budgets designers such as Simone Rocha, Erdem, Emilia Wickstead and The Vampire’s Wife, through to ME+EM, Reiss, LK Bennett and Radley London, help to elevate the iconic Dress Code and set a new standard for occasion dressing. Featuring a mixture of suiting, dresses and separates for ladies, this year’s guide includes ethereal dresses in pastels, floral prints and metallics as modelled by Greta, juxtaposed with vibrant jewelled tones, and sleek vampish dresses, highlighting the sense of creativity and fun that can be had when it comes to dressing for the occasion and individual style.

This year we’ve really tried to shift the perception of what occasion dressing can be, using it as a form of selfexpression, and pushing the boundaries in a more fashion forward direction.

35


For gentlemen, classic tailoring and light summer suits in linen, seersucker, and cotton are punctuated by debonair accents of pattern and texture with ties and pocket squares. These are complemented with prints, pops of colour, and Cuban collar shirts in the Windsor and Village Enclosures, giving a more modish and contemporary take on formal dressing. Featured brands include Richard James, Beggars Run, GANT, Favourbrook and Oliver Brown. Known as much for its eye-catching millinery as well as its world-class horse racing, Royal Ascot’s Style Guide features hats and headpieces from the likes of Edwina Ibbotson, Stephen Jones OBE, Justine Bradley-Hill, Lock & Co, Juliette Botterill, Emily London and Jane Taylor. Rachel Bakewell says: “Royal Ascot is such an iconic moment in the fashion and sporting calendar, both in the UK and internationally. This year we’ve really tried to shift the perception of what occasion dressing can be, using it as a form of selfexpression, and pushing the boundaries in a more fashion forward direction. Greta and I really loved working on the project and can’t wait to see first-hand how racegoers will be dressing this year!” Felicity Barnard, Commercial Director, Ascot Racecourse, comments: “We are thrilled with the imagery of the 11th edition of the Royal Ascot Style Guide and are very much looking forward to seeing its interpretation as we welcome guests to the Royal Meeting in 2022. “The look book signals a step change and new creative direction for the racecourse and we hope captures imaginations and illustrates the essence of fashion at Royal Ascot and the broad array of individual style on show from our racegoers. From UK and international designers, through to high end, high street and pre-loved fashion, this year we celebrate fashion on a global scale as we welcome back customers from all over the world. “We look forward to celebrating the festivities with everyone in June, be they with us at the racecourse or watching all the action from home.”

THE HISTORY OF FASHION AT ROYAL ASCOT -

KEY DATES:

Late 1700s Beau Brummell, a close friend of the Prince Regent, who decreed that “men of elegance should wear waisted black coats and white cravats with pantaloons” and this set the tone for the dress code that is still adhered to by men in the Royal Enclosure.

1830s Queen Victoria’s visit to Royal Ascot saw her arrive in a pretty lace dress with a full bell skirt and shawl. She also started a craze for the porter bonnet, shielding the wearer from male eyes.

1890s

1920s

1980s

Hemlines were shorter and cuts were smaller in the 1920s reflecting a post-war generation’s rebellion against old traditions. Pearls and furs were the accessories of the day.

Sharp lines and bright colours took centre stage during this decade. With statement hats and pointed heels, there was little room for floaty florals in 1980s glamour.

1950s

2012

Christian Dior’s New Look, a small waist and full skirt, was proving popular however it was when the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth and her stylish sister Princess Margaret wore the style at Royal Ascot that it was cemented in history.

Royal Ascot officially launches its Style Guide to racegoers outlining dress code regulations for the Royal Enclosure and Queen Anne Enclosure (formally known as Grandstand).

2017

1960s Royal Ascot’s glamorous profile elevated when Italian actress Sophia Loren was photographed in the Royal Enclosure. In modern times some of the biggest names in Hollywood and fashion have attended. 1970s- Trouser suits became more popular following their introduction to the dress code in 1971. Gertrude Shilling, The Ascot Mascot, delighted the press with her extravagant outfits. One year, one of her son David’s millinery designs outgrew the Shilling’s long-wheel-based Rolls Royce, so the hat had to follow in a van behind.

The jumpsuit is formally accepted in the Royal Enclosure Dress Code and the Queen Anne Enclosure Dress Code is extended to the new Village Enclosure.

2018 Royal Ascot introduces Style Guides for the Village Enclosure and Windsor Enclosure.

2020 Royal Ascot runs behind closed doors for the first time in the event’s history during the global COVID-19 pandemic.

As the dawn of a new century arrived, fashion took on an almost celebratory tone. Skirts were less full, but silhouettes made a greater statement with angular hips and puffed sleeves. Hats were large and full of feathers and adornments.

2021 Navy morning suits were permitted in the Royal Enclosure.

1900s One of fashion’s most iconic images; that of Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady was inspired when costume designer Cecil Beaton saw images of Black Ascot, The 1910 Royal Ascot meeting was in full mourning over the death of King Edward.

ASCOT RACECOURSE AND FENWICK REVEAL THE SEVENTH ANNUAL

MILLINERY COLLECTIVE

Ascot Racecourse and Fenwick, Royal Ascot’s Official Millinery Sponsor, have joined forces with 12 of Britain’s milliners to present a collection of uniquely designed pieces consisting of both established British brands and new talent. The requirement for this year’s Royal Ascot Millinery Collective was that the chosen milliners should create a spectacular piece that invoked memories of dream-like couture pieces of a bygone era heralding a return to the British Summer season of occasions in what is Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year. Milliners involved in the 2022 Collective include: Philip Treacy OBE, Stephen Jones OBE, Edwina Ibbotson, Vivien Sheriff, John Boyd, Sarah Cant, Victoria Grant, Justine Bradley-Hill, William Chambers, Lisa Tan, Jessica Collins and Maggie Mowbray. Ascot worked with world-renowned photographer and fashion director Damian Foxe to capture the hats in a timeless and beautiful way. The Collective was showcased in the Rosewood London, where its palatial

staircases and corridors provided a timeless backdrop to the beautiful pieces, creating photographs that have a contemporary yet classically elegant feel. Racing stylist Sarah Kate Byrne styled the millinery perfectly from a curated selection of fashion from Fenwick, adding pre-loved pieces also available from their new in-store collection. From brands such as vintage Dolce & Gabbana and Emilia Wickstead, to Olivia Rubin and Pleats Please, there is plenty of texture and colour to inspire racegoers this year.

38


As well as styling classic occasion wear looks, Sarah Kate demonstrated how to have fun and showcase your individual style. From styling a dress back to front, for a chic buttoned-up-the-back look, to using a waist tie as a neck scarf to complete a look in an alternative way, these small touches show how one garment can be styled in multiple ways to offer a different look.

The 12 looks comprise classic Royal Enclosure styles alongside ideas for dressing for the Queen Anne Enclosure and Village Enclosure where the dress code varies, as well as inspiration for the Windsor Enclosure where, despite no official dress code, racegoers are still encouraged to dress for a formal occasion. Innovative millinery is the crowning accessory to the Royal Meeting each year and the Royal Ascot Millinery Collective, now in its seventh year, celebrates the truly spectacular ‘wearable art’. Felicity Barnard, Commercial Director, Ascot Racecourse, said: “The millinery and fashion found in this year’s Millinery Collective demonstrates the anticipation and excitement people have for getting dressed up again and aligns with our new creative direction that celebrates innovation and individual style. While we will always be a heritage British occasion, we also encourage people to find the joy in formalwear and what better self-expression than a truly magnificent piece of millinery that can be treasured for years to come. “Both our photographer Damian Foxe and stylist Sarah Kate Byrne have captured the very essence of the symbiotic relationship between millinery and the Royal Meeting, and we are delighted to launch our seventh Millinery Collective in partnership with Fenwick who continue as our Official Millinery Sponsor.”

ROYAL ASCOT

FASHION DESIGN COMPETITION 2022 Following the inaugural launch of this competition in 2021, Ascot Racecourse once again invited local secondary school students to submit their designs for an outfit that could be worn to the Queen Anne Enclosure during Royal Ascot.

Ascot has collaborated with Samsung, the racecourse’s TV provider, who has donated a Samsung Flip 2 digital flipchart to the winning school which encourages interactivity and nurtures design talent within a school environment.

The winning design was brought to life by Ellie Lines, a British luxury dress designer based in London while milliner Jess Collett beautifully handcrafted the hat from her Notting Hill studio.

Holly Harrand, 15, from The Marist School in Ascot was announced this year’s winner.

The Ascot Racecourse style podcast – PERSONAL THREADS – uncovers how moments and memories from our past can inform our present-day personal style, particularly when it comes to occasion dressing and what we decide to wear when we face the world at our most seen.

ASCOT JOINS THE NET ZERO RACE WITH

NEUTRO RESTAURANT

A

scot is in a race, a race with the goal of operating the whole racecourse at Net Zero by 2030. This will mean that over the coming weeks, months and years Ascot will work to reduce its impact on the environment and focus on mitigating carbon emissions created by its activities. Over half of our annual emissions are created during Royal Ascot and therefore this year we are launching a Net Zero Restaurant called Neutro. Neutro will be the result of numerous teams and individuals across Ascot Racecourse coming together to build and operate a restaurant whilst producing minimal carbon emissions. Any residual emissions will be offset through working in partnership with a certified scheme that draws carbon out of the atmosphere. The activity includes: • Sourcing food supplies locally and developing a plant-based menu focused around pizza and pasta dishes • Generating electricity on site, off grid, through using recycled cooking oil, and supplementing with solar power production via a ‘Smartflower’. This will supplement the power required by the restaurant via biofueled generators. The SmartFlower uses advanced robotics and automation to intelligently track the sun, making up to 40% more energy than traditional stationary solar panels. In addition, every day at sunset, Smartflower automatically folds up and cleans itself to maintain peak solar utilization. •

Measuring water consumption and minimising the volume used

• Dressing and fitting out the restaurant with used materials, such as refurnished pallets recycled with a view to reuse in future years •

Hiring upcycled reusable furniture and chairs, creating a shabby chic vibe

Offering local UK based beverages

Pouring drinks into reusable cups, they are then washed and reused

Using plates and cutlery with no disposable items, crockery is washed up and reused

• Minimising waste with effective segregation to allow recycling and anaerobic digestion to occur •

Ensuring all cleaning materials are eco-friendly

Ensuring the staff team are local people who travel to work in a sustainable way

42

Ascot will measure the emissions emitted by these various sources, documenting the impact the restaurant has on the environment. This will be the first of many such initiatives over the coming years, as Ascot Racecourse seeks to move all its operations in line with these principles. This initiative will be educational too, for the racecourse staff, the racegoers and the wider public. The findings of this project will be published to highlight the relationship between sporting events and the environment so that all of us in the sustainability race can gain a better understanding. Already it is noticeable how many different staff and skills are needed to reduce the carbon impact. Across the organisation many teams are involved from Estates, Maintenance, Cleaning, Operations, Food & Beverage, HR, Procurement to Waste Management. Their experience and expertise have helped to generate ideas and solutions to the climate change problem. Naturally the Neutro Restaurant must also provide a great customer experience. It’s not just about doing things in a different way, it’s also about a quality of service. We are investing in staff training, the sourcing of our food products, the vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant.


SMARTFLOWER TECHNOLOGY AT ROYAL ASCOT

A

s part of Ascot’s commitment to a sustainable future, for the first time this year we will have a Smartflower in operation throughout the week in the Village Enclosure.

Smartflower is a revolutionary solar energy system that follows the sun from sunrise to sunset. Every morning at sunrise, Smartflower automatically unfolds. The dual-axis system allows Smartflower’s solar panels to follow the sun across the sky throughout the day, always maintaining the optimal 90° angle. This makes Smartflower produce up to 40% more power than a conventional solar system, producing up to 6,400 kWh/year and providing up to 60% more usable energy than traditional installations. Every day at sunset, Smartflower will automatically fold up and clean itself to maintain peak solar utilization. Whilst the temporary structures don’t offer the best roof surface structure for solar panels, the Smartflower provides a more versatile alternative to allow for this type of renewable-energy generation.

SCULPTURES “HARES” AND “TURTLES” Hamish Mackie Oxfordshire based Hamish Mackie is probably our best-known wildlife sculptor, creating both monumental and tabletop works. Beloved of children’s stories and Aesop’s Fables, the Hare is a creature long celebrated in literature, art and folklore. It is a recurring theme in Hamish Mackie’s work, the Hare being one of his favourite animals. The monumental bronze “Hares” was also on display at the 2022 RHS Chelsea Flower Show. “Turtles” was originally commissioned by a client in Barbados, Hamish has created a sculpture of three life-size sea turtles cast into bronze. There is a fluid energy to this bronze turtle’s sculpture, a sense of movement and lightness that evokes these nimble creatures who are so at home in the ocean.

THE THREE RIDERS Marie Ackers Initially inspired by the old master and “French Animalier”, French artist Marie Ackers has gone beyond realism and tradition to capture a contemporary interpretation of animals. In her work, Marie deconstructs the movements, trip down to pure lines, simplify the shapes, and identify the dynamic and the rhythms of the lines to produce contemporary and distinctively elegant sculpture inextricably associated with but yet completely independent of reality. Her inspiration comes from various sources from the “French animalier” to the simplicity and purity of Brancusi’s work, the shapes and presence of Henry Moore sculptures, the sharp and clean lines of Calder metal sculptures as well as Pompom, Lynn Chadwick, architecture old and modern.

52


RENAISSANCE Maurice Blik PPRBS This is a sculpture in which the traditions of the past embrace the ambitions of the future to celebrate new direction and purpose. The combined strengths surge forward, aspiring to meet new challenges and opportunities. A survivor of the Holocaust, Maurice Bilk has overcome the traumas of his early life and focused his energy on creating sculptures that evoke movement, freedom and life. Born to Jewish parents in Amsterdam in 1939, during the Second World War, at the age of four, Blik’s father was sent to Auschwitz, while Blik, his sister pregnant mother and grandmother were sent to the notorious Bergen Belsen concentration camp. Blik experienced a lifetime of unimaginable tragedy and horrors until being liberated with his mother and oldest sister in 1945 by the Cossacks. Blik lost both his father infant

sister grandmother and numerous close relatives to the concentration camps. The resounding effect of such tragedy at a young age has not been lost on the sculptor. Yet it’s this pain and torment that has helped grow Blik’s innate need to recreate life in his materials.

SPARTAN HORSE Louisa Forbes Louisa blends themes of religion and mythology into her classical figurative sculpture and is inspired by the idea of a connection with people thousands of years ago. She uses clay gathered from her own land which strengthens the interrelation between her as an artist, her home and the people who were there before. The coarseness of the clay dictates the way she builds and works the surface of her pieces, giving them an exciting, contemporary, and individual finish married with a classical understanding and approach.

THE RAM David Williams Ellis

David Williams-Ellis’ sculptures are inspired by the romanticism of Rodin and Bourdelle, they are noted for their classical balance and poise and above all for a sense of movement and vitality captured within the form. It’s the powerful energy of David’s work that thrusts its way beyond the ornamental and gives it its definitive contemporary edge.

53


“ARCHING”, “STRETCHING”, “SMOKE, STANDING WHIPPET” AND “STANDING LURCHER” Stuart Anderson British sculptor Stuart Anderson works in both clay and wax, and casts his own bronzes using the lost wax process at his studio foundry. He was a recipient of the Henry Moore Foundation award, Voya Kondick Trust award and Angeloni Prize at the Royal College of Art. He has made extensive further sculptural research in India, Cambodia, Italy and Greece. In his work he aims to convey the vitality of hounds in strong sculptural forms. He is often drawn to the elegant shapes created by greyhounds, Lurchers and Whippets at play or rest. He models from life, bringing these fine animals into his studio.

“THOROUGHBRED FILLY” AND “MARENGO” Holly Hickmore

After studying at Hartpury College Holly trained at The Hungarian School of Art, here she was exposed to a classical education with a strong grounding in anatomy. Holly strives to find the essence of her subject, to create a felt response through a continual dialogue between form, material and subject.

54

“Thoroughbred Filly” was inspired after visiting a filly at Tweenhills stud who was by the late ROARING LION and out of a beautiful dam called COMMON KNOWLEDGE, both of which were stars of the Qatar Racing operation. “Marengo” is a piece created to celebrate the elegance and power of the horse.

OFFICIAL TIMEKEEPER

Based in Saint-Imier in Switzerland since 1832, the watchmaking company wields expertise steeped in tradition, elegance and performance. Known for the elegance of its timepieces, Longines is a member of Swatch Group Ltd, the world’s leading watch manufacturer. The Longines brand, with its winged hourglass emblem, is established in over 150 countries.

long and fruitful relationship with the discipline. Throughout the years, countless equestrian competitions enjoyed the qualities and reliability of the chronograph calibres and automated instruments that Longines had developed to time sports performances. As a result of its legitimacy and expertise, Longines’ involvement in equestrian sports today includes flat racing, show jumping, dressage and eventing disciplines.

Longines is proud to be an Official Partner as well as the Official Timekeeper and Watch of Ascot and Royal Ascot. The brand’s passion for the equestrian world dates back to 1869, when the brand created its first equestrian pocket watch found to date. Not long after, in 1878, Longines developed a famous chronograph movement, fitted in a case engraved with a jockey and his mount. Seen on the American racetracks since the late nineteenth century, this type of timepiece proved extremely popular among jockeys and horse-lovers, as it enabled its user to time performances to the second. Designed in the workshops of the factory in Saint-Imier, these first creations marked the beginning of Longines’ very early involvement in the equestrian world.

Today, Longines’ commitment with the equestrian world has been further enhanced by its dedicated support for major equestrian institutions such as the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) and the International Federation of Gentlemen and Lady Riders (FEGENTRI). With these partnerships, Longines permeates all levels of equestrianism by presenting important awards in flat racing and jumping competitions such as the Longines World’s Best Race Horse and Horse Race Awards and the Longines World’s Best Jockey Award. The brand’s presence at the pinnacle of the sport is often highlighted by its presence at the most demanding competitions of equestrianism, such as Royal Ascot, that require the highest level of precision and excellence.

The name of Longines thus very quickly became associated with sports timekeeping. While the brand was constantly pushing the boundaries of precision, its involvement in the equestrian world progressively intensified. In 1912, a further step was taken when Longines concluded its first official partnership with a show jumping event in Lisbon, Portugal, marking the beginning of a

That same year, “Moët” ran fourth in the Hunt Cup at Ascot and as a result, Alfred Simon referred to it as his “lucky” race. As the champagne of celebration, Moët & Chandon brings people together to toast the most iconic moments throughout the year, with Royal Ascot as one of the highlights of the British Summer season. Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage, Official Champagne of Royal Ascot, is made only in remarkable years and is available across the racecourse in a variety of formats.

IN MEMORY OF

LESTER PIGGOTT

I

n Ascot’s three-hundred-plus-year history no jockey has dominated the Royal Meeting like Lester Piggott.

His tally of 116 Royal Ascot winners stands alone in the modern era, a total that is unlikely to be surpassed and one that came at a time when the meeting was just four days long. Piggott’s first Royal Ascot victory came in 1952 on Malka’s Boy for trainer Walter Nightingall in the Wokingham Stakes. ‘The Long Fellow’ went on to be associated with some of the greatest horses to have graced Royal Ascot.

Stakes (formerly the Cork and Orrery Stakes). His seven winners in the King’s Stand Stakes included three for Vincent O’Brien in the 1970s as well as one of the leading post-War sprinters, Right Boy, in 1957 who he subsequently partnered to victory in the 1958 and 1959 Cork and Orrery Stakes. Of those 116 winners, he rode 18 apiece for trainers Noel Murless and Vincent O’Brien. Twice he rode eight winners at a single meeting, in 1965 and 1975.

He won the Gold Cup a record 11 times, including a then-record three-times on Sagaro in 1975, 1976 and 1977, one on board Le Moss and a brace with Ardross in 1981 and 1982.

Success at Royal Ascot wasn’t limited to the saddle either as when he briefly turned his hand to training in the mid1980s he sent out Cutting Blade to win the Coventry Stakes in 1986.

In modern history, he also remains the most successful jockey in the King’s Stand Stakes, Royal Hunt Cup, Norfolk Stakes, Coronation Stakes and Platinum Jubilee

After famously returning to the saddle, his final winner at the Royal Meeting was College Chapel in the 1993 Cork and Orrery Stakes, at the age of 57.

Piggott went on to enjoy success as a breeder being the joint ownerbreeder of Superstar Leo who won the Norfolk Stakes in 2000. He also part-owned Mont Etoile, trained by his son-in-law William Haggas, who won the Ribblesdale Stakes in 2006. He is therefore the only known person to have ridden, trained, owned and bred a winner at Royal Ascot. A statue of Lester Piggott sculptured by William Newton was unveiled at Ascot Racecourse in 2019 and stands on the Brigadier Gerard Lawn. Speaking during the unveiling, Piggott said, “I have enjoyed some great days at Royal Ascot. Everybody looked forward to this meeting. To win the Gold Cup once is special and I was very lucky to win the race on 11 occasions. “I rode some brilliant horses in the race including Sagaro, but probably the best was a filly called Gladness. It has been a very lucky course for me.”


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.” The first race meeting ever held at Ascot took place on Saturday, 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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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

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 twostorey 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 Sir Francis Brooke BT. (as Her Majesty’s Representative).

71


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. 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 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.

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.

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).

73

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.

Charles, 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.

The 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.

11 August 1711

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

In 2020 Royal Ascot was held behind closed doors without spectators for the first time ever, creating another unique chapter in the racecourse’s history. Last year, the colour of racing’s premier European Flat meeting returned and Ascot opened it’s gates to spectators for the first time in 15 months following the Covid-19 pandemic. It wasn’t quite like normal however, as only 12,000 racegoers were permitted to attend each day, in line with the government restrictions in place at the time.

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

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.”

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

The two World Wars Royal 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. IMAGES BY THOMAS HOULTON

Industrial Strife Throughout 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 & Mouth In 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.

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.

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!

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.

General Election Great 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.

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.

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.

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 doors When 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.

Royal Ascot 2021 and the Events Research Programme On 26th May 2021 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. The ERP was 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 during the summer. Working closely with local authorities and organisers, the science-led pilots were 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 included an England Test match at Edgbaston and games from the UEFA European Football Championship. Attendees were 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. As part of the conditions of the ERP, COVID-19 restrictions in place across the country, were disapplied around the perimeter of the racecourse. Some areas were however excluded from the ERP, such as the Racing Green Zone, to help best protect participants.

RACE HISTORIES & CONDITIONS

The Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1)

The Ascot Stakes (Handicap)

Founded 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 threeyear 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 week since 2008 it will once again get the Royal Meeting underway this year.

First 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.

One Mile, Four Year Olds & Upwards

Two miles, four furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards

The Wolferton Stakes (Listed)

One mile, two furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards

The Coventry Stakes (Group 2)

First 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.

Six furlongs, Two Year Olds

First 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 as a result attracts some of the very best precious young horses, forming part of the high-class opening day card. Many top quality 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 Copper Horse Stakes (Handicap) One mile, six furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards

Staged 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 and it now forms part of the permanently 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 King’s Stand Stakes (Group 1) Five furlongs, Three Year Olds & Upwards

A Stand Plate was first run on the round course in 1837, becoming the Royal Stand Plate in 1858. The race was renamed 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-yearolds 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 Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2) Five furlongs, Two Year Old Fillies

Named 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. American trainer Wesley Ward has an exceptional record in the race having saddled the winner four times since 2009, including most recently with Campanelle in 2020.

The St James’s Palace Stakes (Group 1) Old mile, Three Year Old Colts

Named 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. Frankel, Kingman and Circus Maximus are recent superstars to have won the race while the 2020 renewal was particularly memorable, producing the race of the week as Palace Pier defeated Pinatubo and Wichita in a thrilling finish.

The Queen’s Vase (Group 2)

One mile, six furlongs, Three Year Olds Promoted to Group Two in 2017, the race was named to honour Queen Victoria and first run in 1838. This race became the King’s

81


The Kensington Palace Stakes (Handicap)

Vase in 1903 and reverted to its original name of the Queen’s Vase on the succession of Queen Elizabeth II. Run over a-mileand-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.

Old mile, Four Year Olds & Upwards Fillies

A 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 inaugural winner last year was Lola Showgirl, a first Royal Ascot winner for trainer David Loughnane and jockey Laura Pearson.

The Prince of Wales’s Stakes (Group 1)

The Norfolk Stakes (Group 2)

One mile, two furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards

Five furlongs, Two Year Olds

The 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.

First 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-yearolds, it was promoted to Group 2 status in 2006.

The King George V Stakes (Handicap) One mile, four furlongs, Three Year Olds

The Duke of Cambridge Stakes (Group 2)

Like 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.

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 industrywide 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 Ribblesdale Stakes (Group 2) One mile, four furlongs, Three Year Old Fillies

This 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. John Gosden has won four of the last five renewals, including when training in partnership with his son Thady for the first time in 2021 with Loving Dream.

The Royal Hunt Cup (Heritage Handicap) One mile, Three Year Olds & Upwards

The 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 Gold Cup (Group 1)

Two miles, four furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards Founded 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 specialists’ event. Sagaro won three times in the 1970s and Stradivarius claimed his third straight success in 2020 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.

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-yearolds. 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.

82


The Britannia Stakes (Heritage Handicap)

The Duke of Edinburgh Stakes (Handicap)

First run in 1928 over the straight mile of the Royal Hunt Cup course and run under similar conditions today. Open to threeyear-old colts and geldings only, the Britannia is almost as popular these days as the Royal Hunt Cup.

Originally 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-yearolds and upward.

One mile, Three Year Old Colts & Geldings

One mile, four furlongs, Three Year Olds & Upwards

The Hampton Court Stakes (Group 3) One mile, two furlongs, Three Year Olds

The Coronation Stakes (Group 1)

This 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.

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 threeyear-old fillies and regularly attracts the winners of the British, Irish and French 1,000 Guineas. Recently it has also started to attract some of the top American fillies and so is a race that acts to crown the best of that year’s Classic generation over a mile. 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 Buckingham Palace Stakes (Handicap) Seven furlongs, Three Year Olds & Upwards

One 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. In 2020 it opened the Royal Meeting and is now retained permanently as part of the expanded programme and concludes the Thursday card.

The Sandringham Stakes (Handicap) One mile, Three Year Old Fillies

Originally 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 Albany Stakes (Group 3)

The King Edward VII Stakes (Group 2)

Six furlongs, Two Year Old Fillies

One mile, four furlongs, Three Year Old Colts & Geldings

This 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.

Formerly 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, that last three winners, Japan, Pyledriver and Alenquer, have all gone on to Group 1 success.

The Commonwealth Cup (Group 1) Six furlongs, Three Year Olds Colts and Fillies

The Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes (Handicap)

The Commonwealth Cup was a completely new race in 2015 and joined the King’s Stand Stakes and Platinum 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.

Five furlongs, Three Year Olds

The final race on Friday was among six prizes added to the Royal Ascot race programme in 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 in 2020, 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.

83


The Chesham Stakes (Listed)

The Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap)

Seven furlongs, Two Year Olds

Six furlongs, Three Year Olds & Upwards

Named 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 sire or dam won at ten furlongs or more. It was won in 2019 by the Champion two-year-old that year, Pinatubo, in a track record time.

The 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)

The Jersey Stakes (Group 3)

One mile, two furlongs, Three Year Olds

Seven furlongs, Three Year Olds

The 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, subsequently being placed at Group 2 level.

The 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 & Upwards

The Queen Alexandra Stakes (Conditions)

Named 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.

Two miles, six furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards

Run 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 the 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.

The Platinum Jubilee Stakes (Group 1) Six furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards

First run in 1868, this six-furlong contest was originally named after Lord Cork, another Master of the Buckhounds, and 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 and now it will be run as the Platinum Jubilee Stakes. In 2015, it became a race for four-year-olds and upwards, as the three-year-olds have the Commonwealth Cup option. It is routinely won by some of the best sprinters in the world, including Black Caviar, Undrafted and Blue Point in recent years.

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.

DID YOU KNOW...?

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.

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!”

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!”

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.

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!

THE QUEEN ANNE STAKES Background First 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 include Cape Cross (1999) – went on to become a top stallion, siring Derby winners Sea The Stars and Golden Horn, plus wonderful mare Ouija Board, who was 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 racehorse 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 St James’s Palace Stakes, the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes sponsored by QIPCO and the 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. Overseas-trained winners (since 1946) Ireland (7): Southbourne (1952), Upadee (1954), Imperial March (1975), Ad Valorem (2006), Haradasun (2008), Declaration Of War (2013), Circus Maximus (2020) France (6): Solina (1948), Argur (1953), Roi Soleil (1971), Valixir (2005), Goldikova (2010), Solow (2015) Italy (1): Brook (1974) USA (1): Tepin (2016) Oldest winner (since 1946) Eight-year-old Welsh Rake in 1963, trained by Jack Jarvis and ridden by Ron Hutchinson.

THE COVENTRY STAKES Background The 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 include The 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 the 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/2,000 Guineas double The 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) Overseas-trained winners (since 1977) Ireland (12): Solinus (1977), Verglas (1996), Harbour Master (1997), Fasliyev (1999), Landseer (2001), Statue of Liberty (2002), Henrythenavigator (2007), Power (2011), Dawn Approach (2012), War Command (2013), Caravaggio (2016), Arizona (2019) Betting (since 1977) Longest-priced winner: Nando Parrado 150/1 (2020) Shortest-priced winner: Primo Dominie 4/7 (1984) Market leaders: 21 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 45 runnings Most successful trainer (since 1977) 9 wins Aidan O’Brien – Harbour Master (1997), Fasliyev (1999), Landseer (2001), Statue of Liberty (2002), Henrythenavigator (2007), Power (2011), War Command (2013), Caravaggio (2016), Arizona (2019) Most successful jockey (since 1977) 3 wins Walter Swinburn – Always Fair (1987), Petardia (1992), Royal Applause (1995) Mick Kinane – Fasliyev (1999), Statue Of Liberty (2002), Henrythenavigator (2007) Richard Hughes – Three Valleys (2003), Canford Cliffs (2009), Strong Suit (2010) Ryan Moore – Power (2011), Caravaggio (2016), Arizona (2019) Most successful owner (since 1977) 9 wins Coolmore partnerships - Harbour Master (1997), Fasliyev (1999), Landseer (2001), Statue of Liberty (2002), Henrythenavigator (2007), Power (2011), War Command (2013), Caravaggio (2016), Arizona (2019)

THE KING’S STAND STAKES Background Bad weather played a crucial role in the origins of the King’s Stand Stakes. In 1860 heavy rain made it impossible for the twomile 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 and Breeders’ Cup ‘Win and You’re In’. Notable winners include Abernant (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.

Choisir (2003) – the first Australian-trained horse to win in Britain. He doubled up four days later in the six-furlong Platinum 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.

THE ST JAMES’S PALACE STAKES Background Named 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 include Tudor 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. Major 2,000 Guineas/St James’s Palace Stakes double (since 1946) English Guineas (15): Tudor Minstel (1947), Palestine (1950), Nearula (1953), Darius (1954), Right Tack (1969), Brigadier Gerard (1971), Bolkonski (1975), To-Agori-Mou (1981), Rock Of Gibraltar (2002), Henrythenavigator (2008), Frankel (2011), Dawn Approach (2013), Gleneagles (2015), Galileo Gold (2016), Poetic Flare (2021) French Guineas (3): Kingmambo (1993), Sendawar (1999), Shamardal (2005) Irish Guineas (12): Right Tack (1969), Jaazeiro (1978), Dara Monarch (1982), Shaadi (1989), Black Minaloushe (2001), Rock Of Gibraltar (2002), Araafa (2006), Henrythenavigator (2008), Mastercraftsman (2009), Canford Cliffs (2010), Kingman (2014), Gleneagles (2015) Overseas-trained winners (since 1946) Ireland (16): Chevastrid (1957), Thatch (1972), Jaazeiro (1978), Dara Monarch (1982), Brief Truce (1992), Giant’s Causeway (2000), Black Minnaloushe (2001), Rock Of Gibraltar (2002), Azamour (2004), Excellent Art (2007), Henrythenavigator (2008), Mastercraftsman (2009), Dawn Approach (2013), Gleneagles (2015), Circus Maximus (2019), Poetic Flare (2021) France (3): Venture VII (1960), Kingmambo (1993), Sendawar (1999) Betting (since 1946) Longest-priced winner: Brief Truce 25/1 (1992) Shortest-priced winner: Venture VII 1/33 (1960) Market leaders: 37 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 76 runnings Most successful trainer (since 1946) 8 wins: Aidan O’Brien – Giant’s Causeway (2000), Black Minnaloushe (2001), Rock of Gibraltar (2002), Excellent Art (2007), Henrythenavigator (2008), Mastercraftsman (2009), Gleneagles (2015), Circus Maximus (2019) Most successful jockey (since 1946) 6 wins: Mick Kinane - Dara Monarch (1982), Brief Truce (1992), Grand Lodge (1994), Giant’s Causeway (2000), Rock of Gibraltar (2002), Azamour (2004) Most successful owners (since 1946) 8 wins: Coolmore partnerships– Giant’s Causeway (2000), Black Minnaloushe (2001), Rock of Gibraltar (2002), Excellent Art (2007), Henrythenavigator (2008), Mastercraftsman (2009), Gleneagles (2015), Circus Maximus (2019)

THE ASCOT STAKES Background Founded 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 16 occasions, has gained four victories since 2012.

THE WOLFERTON STAKES

Background The 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 include Contributer (2014) – subsequently a dual G1 winner in Australia, capturing the Chipping Norton Stakes and Ranvet Stakes. Addeybb (2019) – continued his excellent record at Ascot with victory in the 2020 QIPCO Champion Stakes; three-time G1 winner in Australia. Overseas-trained winners Ireland (2) – In Time’s Eye (2003), Sir Isaac Newton (2016) Betting Longest-priced winner: Imperial Stride (2005), Championship Point (2007), Snoano (2017), all 25/1 Shortest-priced winner: Rainbow Peak 13/8 (2010) Market leaders: 3 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 20 runnings Most successful trainer 4 wins John Gosden - Beachfire (2011), Gatewood (2012), Mahsoob (2015), Monarchs Glen (2018) Most successful jockey 2 wins Ryan Moore - Perfect Stride (2009), Sir Isaac Newton (2016) William Buick - Beachfire (2011), Gatewood (2012) Most successful owner 2 wins Saeed Suhail – Imperial Stride (2005), Perfect Stride (2009)

THE COPPER HORSE HANDICAP Background Run over a mile and three-quarters, this handicap for four-year-olds and upwards was introduced as part of the enhanced order of running for Royal Ascot in 2020. It is named after The Copper Horse, a statue of King George III mounted on horseback marking the end of the Long Walk in Windsor Great Park, adjacent to the racecourse. The statue was sculpted by by Sir Richard Westmacott and erected in October 1831.

THE QUEEN MARY STAKES Background The 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 include Mumtaz 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 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 Cheveley Park Stakes; retired unbeaten. 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 dominant again when returning to Royal Ascot in 2017 to win the King’s Stand Stakes.

THE QUEEN’S VASE Background Queen 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. Notable winners include Le 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. 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 won three successive editions of the Gold Cup; also a four-time winner of the Goodwood Cup; crowned Europe’s champion stayer in 2018, 2019 & 2020. Kew Gardens (2018) – captured the Grand Prix de Paris next time out before winning the final British Classic, the St Leger, at Doncaster; ended Stradivarius’ 10-race winning streak when the pair clashed for the first time in the 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 going on to victory in the St Leger at Doncaster. Queen’s Vase/Irish Derby double Santiago (2020) continued the excellent record of recent winners when going on to take the Irish Derby eight days later.

THE PRINCE OF WALES’S STAKES Background The 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 a Breeders’ Cup ‘Win and You’re In’ contest. Notable winners include Brigadier 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 victory in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes. 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 winners There have been three dual winners – Connaught (1969 & 1970), Mtoto (1987 & 1988) and Muhtarram (1994 & 1995) Overseas-trained winners (since 1968) Ireland (7): Stanerra (1983), Azamour (2005), Duke Of Marmalade (2008), So You Think (2012), Free Eagle (2015), Highland Reel (2017), Love (2021) France (5): Gift Card (1973), Admetus (1974), Manduro (2007), Vision d’Etat (2009), Byword (2010) Betting (since 1968) Longest-priced winner: Bob Back 33/1 (1985) Shortest-priced winner: Royal Palace 1/4 (1968) Market leaders: 22 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 54 runnings Most successful trainer (since 1968) 5 wins: Sir Henry Cecil – Lucky Wednesday (1977), Gunner B (1978), Perpendicular (1992), Placerville (1993), Bosra Sham (1997) Most successful jockey (since 1968) 5 wins: Pat Eddery – Record Run (1975), English Spring (1986), Two Timing (1989), Batshoof (1990), Placerville (1993) Most successful owner (since 1968) 5 wins: Godolphin – Faithful Son (1998), Dubai Millennium (2000), Fantastic Light (2001), Grandera (2002), Rewilding (2011)

THE ROYAL HUNT CUP Background The 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 20th 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 include Master 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 runner-up to Paco Boy in 2009 Queen Anne Stakes. Real World (2021) – followed up his Ascot triumph with four straight wins in Stakes company, including G2 victories in the Prix Daniel Wildenstein at Longchamp and Zabeel Mile at Meydan.

THE RIBBLESDALE STAKES Background First run in 1919, the Ribblesdale Stakes was originally staged over a mile for three and four-year-olds. Named after the fourth Baron Ribblesdale, Master of the Buckhounds between 1892 and 1895, it is now run over a mile and a half and restricted to three-year-old fillies and mirrors the equivalent contest for colts and geldings, the King Edward VII Stakes. Notable winners include Park Top (1967) – won the Ribblesdale as a three-year-old but blossomed as a five-year-old, returning to Ascot to win both the Hardwicke Stakes and the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes as well as the Coronation Cup at Epsom Downs. Shoot A Line (1980) – went on to capture both the Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks later in the same season; finished runner-up to Ardross in the 1981 Gold Cup and was the grand-dam of US champion Thunder Gulch, winner of the Kentucky Derby in 1995. Hellenic (1990) – subsequently won the Yorkshire Oaks and was runner-up in the the St Leger; enjoyed great success as a broodmare, producing G1 winners Islington, Mountain High and Greek Dance. Star Catcher (2019) – notched up a G1 hat-trick following her Ascot triumph, landing the Irish Oaks, Prix Vermeille and QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes. Overseas-trained winners (since 1977) Ireland (10) – Nanticious (1977), Relfo (1978), Sahara Slew (2001), Irresistible Jewel (2002), Banimpire (2011), Princess Highway (2012), Bracelet (2014), Curvy (2015), Even Song (2016), Magic Wand (2018) France (1) – Tulipa (1996) Betting (since 1977) Longest-priced winner: 25/1 Mont Etoile (2006) Shortest-priced winner: 11/8 Frankly Darling (2020) Market leaders: 10 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 45 runnings Most successful trainer (since 1977) 5 wins John Dunlop – High Hawk (1983), Gull Nook (1986), Third Watch (1991), Thawakib (1993), Thakafaat (2005) Saeed bin Suroor – Bahr (1998), Fairy Queen (1999), Punctilious (2004), Flying Cloud (2009), Hibaayeb (2010) John Gosden – Michita (2008), Coronet (2017), Star Catcher (2019), Frankly Darling (2020), *Loving Dream (2021) *as part of a training partnership Most successful jockey (since 1977) 8 wins Frankie Dettori – Phantom Gold (1995), Bahr (1998), Fairy Queen (1999), Punctilious (2004), Flying Cloud (2009), Hibaayeb (2010), Star Catcher (2019), Frankly Darling (2020) Most successful owner (since 1977) 5 wins Khalid Abdullah – Ballinderry (1984), Bolas (1994), Yashmak (1997), Spanish Sun (2003), Riposte (2013) Godolphin – Bahr (1998), Fairy Queen (1999), Punctilious (2004), Flying Cloud (2009), Hibaayeb (2010)

THE GOLD CUP Background Founded 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 was runner-up in 1970, was the most recent Derby winner to line up until last year when Serpentine finished eighth. The Gold Cup is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series. Notable winners include Sagaro (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 also won the Coronation Cup, Irish St Leger, Prix Royal-Oak and 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) – big race haul also includes four Goodwood Cups, three Lonsdale Cups, three Yorkshire Cups, two Doncaster 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) Betting (since 1946) Longest-priced winner: 25/1 Indian Queen (1991) Shortest-priced winner: 1/5 Ardross (1981) Market leaders: 30 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 75 runnings Most successful trainer (since 1946) 7 wins: Aidan O’Brien – Yeats (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), Fame And Glory (2011), Leading Light (2014), Order Of St George (2016) Most successful jockey (since 1946) 11 wins: Lester Piggott – Zarathustra (1957), Gladness (1958), Pandofell (1961), Twilight Alley (1963), Fighting Charlie (1965), Sagaro (1975, 1976, 1977), Le Moss (1979), Ardross (1981, 1982) Most successful owner (since 1946) 7 wins: Coolmore Partners – Yeats (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), Fame And Glory (2011), Leading Light (2014), Order Of St George (2016)

THE BUCKINGHAM PALACE HANDICAP Background The 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 include Jedburgh (2005) – subsequently captured the Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh for his owner-breeder, The Earl Cadogan; also runner-up in Goodwod’s Celebration Mile. Regal Parade (2008) – went on to win the Ayr Gold Cup later in the season and proved even better as he got older, taking the 2009 Haydock Sprint Cup and the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville in 2010. Highfield Princess (2021) – having started out in handicaps with an official rating of 57, progressed to win this season's 1895 Duke Of York Stakes.

THE KING EDWARD VII STAKES Background Formerly 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.

THE COMMONWEALTH CUP Background The inaugural running of the Commonwealth Cup in 2015 marked the first G1 sprint contest in Europe confined to three-yearolds. 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. Notable winners include Muhaarar (2015) – 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. Quiet Reflection (2016) – proved more than a match for her elders later that season with a dominant victory in the Sprint Cup at Haydock Park. Caravaggio (2017) – 2016 Coventry Stakes winner doubled his tally at Royal Ascot 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 Platinum Jubilee Stakes. Overseas-trained winners Ireland (1): Caravaggio (2017) USA (1): Campanelle (2021) Fillies Two fillies have been successful – Quiet Reflection (2016) and Campanelle (2021) Betting Longest-priced winner: 12/1 Eqtidaar (2018) Shortest-priced winner: 5/6 Caravaggio (2017) Market leaders: two favourites have been successful in the seven runnings Most successful trainer No multiple winners Most successful jockey 2 wins Frankie Dettori – Advertise (2019), Campanelle (2021) Most successful owner 2 wins Hamdan Al Maktoum – Muhaarar (2015), Eqtidaar (2018)

THE CORONATION STAKES Background First 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 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 include Pretty 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 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; also won the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot during an unbeaten juvenile campaign. Alpha Centauri (2018) – won by six lengths in a 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 prizes in 2018.

THE CHESHAM STAKES Background First 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-yearolds 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 include Abernant (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. Be My Chief (1989) – unbeaten in six starts as a two-year-old, including the Vintage Stakes, Solario Stakes and Racing Post Trophy. Churchill (2016) – crowned Europe’s champion juvenile of 2016 following impressive displays in the Futurity Stakes, National Stakes and Dewhurst Stakes; victorious in the English and Irish 2,000 Guineas the following spring. Pinatubo (2019) – ended his unbeaten two-year-old season with an official rating of 128, the highest awarded to a juvenile since Celtic Swing in 1994; the pick of his six victories came in the Vincent O’Brien National Stakes, when he powered to a ninelength success. Overseas-trained winners (since 1977) Ireland (7) – Sookera (1977), Bach (1999), Maybe (2011), Churchill (2016), September (2017), Battleground (2020), Point Lonsdale (2021) France (1) – Suits You (2015) Betting (since 1977) Longest-priced winner: Jacamar 50/1 (1988) Shortest-priced winner: Main Reef 8/15 (1978) Market leaders: 20 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 45 runnings Most successful trainer (since 1977) 6 wins Aidan O’Brien – Bach (1999), Maybe (2011), Churchill (2016), September (2017), Battleground (2020), Point Lonsdale (2021) Most successful jockey (since 1977) 5 wins Ryan Moore – Maybe (2011), Churchill (2016), September (2017), Battleground (2020), Point Lonsdale (2021) Most successful owner (since 1977) 6 wins Coolmore partners – Bach (1999), Maybe (2011), Churchill (2016), September (2017), Battleground (2020), Point Lonsdale (2021)

THE HARDWICKE STAKES Background First 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 include Aureole (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.

THE PLATINUM JUBILEE STAKES Background Royal Ascot’s most valuable sprint has been renamed the Platinum Jubilee Stakes in recognition of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s ascension to throne in 1952. It was elevated to G1 status to celebrate the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002 and run as the Golden Jubilee Stakes from 2002-2011 and the Diamond Jubilee Stakes from 2012-2021. 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 Platinum Jubilee Stakes is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series. Notable winners include Right 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 Platinum 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 Platinum 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 Platinum Jubilee Stakes in the same week; also captured the King’s Stand Stakes in 2018.

THE WOKINGHAM HANDICAP Background The 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 include Fayr Jag (DH 2003) – dead-heated with Ratio before returning to Royal Ascot a year later to capture the Platinum 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 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.

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 include Brown 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. 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.

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 (since 2002). The best ever score by a jockey at Royal Ascot is 12, set by Fred Archer in 1878. Four female riders have enjoyed success at Royal Ascot, the first being Gay Kelleway on Sprowston Boy in the 1987 Queen Alexandra Stakes. Hayley Turner, Hollie Doyle and Laura Pearson have ridden winners in recent years (see records below). Joanna Morgan became the first female jockey to ride at Royal Ascot in the 1978 Queen’s Vase on Gallowshill Boy, who finished ninth.
