King Edward VII Enclosure racegoersare invited to enjoy facilities on Level4 of the Grandstand.
Few sporting venues can match the rich heritage and history of Ascot Racecourse. Over the past 300 years, Ascot has established itself as anational institution; with Royal Ascot becoming the centrepiece of the British social calendar and the ultimate stage for the best racehorses in the world.
It was Queen Anne in 1711 who first saw the potential for aracecourse at Ascot (in those days called East Cote). Whilst out riding near Windsor Castle she came upon an area of open heath that looked, in her words, “ideal for horses to gallop at full stretch”.
The first race meeting ever held at Ascot took place later that year, on Saturday 11th August. The inaugural event was Her Majesty’s Plate, worth 100 guineas and open to any horse, mare or gelding over six years of age. Each horse was required to carry a weight of 12 stone and the seven runners were all English hunters, rather different to the speedy thoroughbreds that race on the Flat today.
The nature of the contest also borelittle resemblance to modern day racing at Ascot. That race consisted of three separate heats, each four miles long –about the length of today’s Grand National course. The winning horse would have required tremendous stamina, but sadly there is no record of who claimed that first plate.
Queen Anne’s gift to racing, founding the Royal Racecourse, is marked by the tradition of opening Royal Ascot with the Queen Anne Stakes.
The racecourse was laid out by William Lowen, assisted by ateam including a carpenter, apainter, and aracing administrator. The first permanent building was erected around 1794 by alocal Windsor builder. Holding 1,650 people, it was used for almost fifty years.
In 1813, Parliament passed an Act of
Enclosure, which ensured that Ascot Heath would be kept and used as aracecourse for the public in the future. Racing at Ascot was now secure.
The precise origins of the RoyalMeeting are unclear,asthe event evolvedfromthe first four-daymeeting that took place in 1768
The meeting as it’sknown todayonlyreally started to takeshape with the introduction of the Gold Cup in 1807.Royal Ascotwas the onlyrace meeting held at Ascotuntil 1939.
The Gold Cup remains the featurerace of the thirdday of RoyalAscot, traditionally the busiestday of the week, when high fashion and exquisite millinery takecentre stagealongside Flat racing’s mostelite stayers.In2009,Yeats, ridden by Johnny Murtagh and trained by Aidan O’Brien, wonhis fourth consecutive Gold Cup –a magnificent achievement, and one that Stradivarius justfailed to emulate in 2021 and 2022 having wonthe race three times between 2018 and 2020.
Although founded by aQueen and located on Crown property, the administration of Ascot is handled on behalf of the Crown by a representative appointed by the Monarch. Up until 1901, the racecourse was managed on the Sovereign’s behalf by the Master of the Royal Buckhounds. In 1901, Lord Churchill was appointed as His Majesty’s Representative, responsible for running the course and determining entrance to the Royal Enclosure.
YeatsThe Ascot Authority was established in 1913 by an Act of Parliament, with His Majesty’s Representative becoming Senior Trustee. Today, as AscotAuthority (Holdings) Limited, Ascothas aformal boardchaired by Sir Francis BrookeBt., who also serves as His Majesty’s Representative at Ascot.
His Majesty The King is the thirteenth monarch that Ascothas operated under having succeeded Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. As an owner and breeder of racehorses, HerLate Majesty took akeen interestinthe races and had great success with her own horses over the years,including mostfamously winning the Gold Cup with Estimate in 2013.
The jockeys riding the Sovereign’shorses can be identified by the royalracing colours: purple body with gold braid, scarletsleeves, and black velvet cap with gold fringe– the same as those of King EdwardVII and GeorgeIVasPrince Regent.
During RoyalAscot, the Monarch traditionally presents the Gold Cup and the Platinum Jubilee Stakes.New versions of these trophies aremade each year and presented to the winners to keep.
Ascot Racecourse closed for a£200 million redevelopment in 2004, and was reopened by Queen Elizabeth II on 20th June 2006.
There have been several landmark occasions since Ascot Racecourse reopened in 2006 and none more memorable than two special Gold Cup days –when Yeats completed his four-timer of Gold Cup wins in 2009 and when Queen Elizabeth II won the stayers’ championship with Estimate in 2013.
In 2011, Ascot celebrated its tercentenary and staged the inaugural QIPCO British Champions Day, now the culmination of the European elite Flat racing season.
The great Frankel won the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champions Day in 2011, and the curtain came down on the career of officially the best horse of all time when he won the Champion Stakes ayear later. Sir Henry Cecil’spride and joywon five of his remarkable unbeaten run of 14 races at Ascot. 2012 also sawAscotatthe heart of the country’s celebrations to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, with the
Golden Jubilee Stakes renamed the Diamond Jubilee Stakes and wonbythe great Australian mare, Black Caviar.Re-named again in 2022 as the Platinum Jubilee Stakes, the race became one of twocontests at Royal Ascotworth £1 million in prize money and victory went to Godolphin’sNavalCrown Ascothas continued to cement its reputation as Europe’spremier destination for the best horses in the world. In recent years it is the Americans who have had mostsuccess,with Tepin’swin in the 2016 Queen Anne Stakes and Lady Aurelia’sKing’s Stand Stakes victory the following year being notable highlights. The latter fillywas trained by Wesley Ward, who has nowsaddled 12 winners at the Royal Meeting, including Campanelle who was successful twice in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, the world’sbestsprinter,NatureStrip,travelled over from Australia and produced abrilliant performance to win the King’s Stand Stakes
It is notjustinternational horses which Ascot is known for,ofcourse. Jockeys also come from all over the world to ride here– perhaps mostnotablyatthe Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup,aunique fixtureinthe global racing calendar which each year sees manyofworld’s top jockeys compete for points to lift racing’s ultimate team prize, with four teams battling it out across athrilling eight-race contest.
While the grandeur of the RoyalMeeting takes centrestageeach June, Ascotisalso renowned for hosting Europe’spremier midsummer middle-distance contestthe following month.
The King GeorgeVIand Queen Elizabeth QIPCO Stakes has been wonbymanyof racing’s mostdistinguished champions including Nijinsky,Mill Reef, Dancing Brave, Nashwan, Galileo and -morerecently-the remarkable mareEnable, who in July 2020 made history by becoming the firsthorse to win three renewals of this prestigious prize.

The BHA handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in asufficient number of races to enable the handicappers to make anumerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. Ahorse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring penalties and allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicapped races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change in rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.
For novice steeple chasers, their latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the handicappers allot aseparate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.
If there is anumber next to the name, this indicates that the jockey can claim that amount in weight (lbs) off the stated riding weight.

In recognition of Macmillan Cancer Support’sannual coffee morning, staff at AscotRacecourse took part in a“Mac-BakeOff” baking competition to raise funds for the charity
This year’s technical challengewas pasties while the other categories were showstopper,savoury bake, and cake. To makethis afamilyaffair, children of employees were also encouraged to enter the bestJunior Baker competition.
Entries were judged by our in-house Executive Chef, Gemma Amor and Master Pâtissier Eric Lanlard who regularly designs a not to be missed afternoon tea for Royal Ascot.
The event, which also comprised a charity raffle, raised £415 which will be fund matched by the Ascot Racecourse Supports programme to make a fundraising total of £830
This was an especially poignant charity for staff to support this year, as our Lawns & Horticulture Team Leader, Jon, was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer
In ashowofcamaraderie and support, in Augustmembers of his team “Bravedthe Shave” in support of Macmillan and raised awhopping £7,245.Weare pleased to report that all their hair is growing back, albeit slowly!
The safety and welfareofhorses and jockeys is paramount throughout the year at Ascot. In recent years we have invested significantly to improveour facilities on and off the track to ensureweprovide the very bestcareand attention for all participants.Nowhereis this better demonstrated than in the changes made to the racing surface itself during the redevelopment in 2006.
The keyelements of the project were to camber the home and old paddock bends and to remove the road crossings over the track, replacing them with underpasses. This created asafer surface for the horses, wherepreviouslysome less experienced runners had occasionallyshied at the differing surfaces.
Further improvements to equine welfareprovision were made as part of a £700,000 project to create an enhanced unsaddling area in 2016.Increased in size to accommodate largefield races more comfortably, the Unsaddling EnclosureLawn is positioned to benefit from maximum shade
from the crownofanadjacent maturetree as well as arepositioned tulip tree, which sits to the south of the oval. Equine misting fans were also installed to aid with post-race cooling of horses.
Four specificallyqualified equine vets areon duty every raceday, dedicated to the welfare of all the horses.During each race, vets follow the runners by car and can respond to and attend acasualty generallywithin aminute –asfastasthe paramedic teams responsible for human casualties.
Ascot’stwo permanent veterinary boxesare supplemented with an X-Raymachine for the major meetings to assistwith swift diagnosis beforeadministration of treatment on site or anymovement necessary to equine hospitals.

Thereare notmanyFlat racehorses whose career will span sevenseasons,and even fewerthat have been competing at the top levelfor six of those. From his first racecourse appearance in October 2016 to his final one at Goodwood earlier this year, Stradivarius will be remembered as one of the fineststayers the sport has ever seen.
His stamina on the track wasmatched only by his longevity off it, expertlyhandled by John and Thady Gosden and superbly campaigned by his owner-breeder Bjorn Nielsen, he captured the hearts of racing fans around the world.
Some of his finestmoments came at Ascot wherehewas successful six times along with four placed efforts from just12starts That included four RoyalAscotvictories, starting with The Queen’sVase in 2017 followedbythree consecutive Gold Cups from 2018 to 2020
The firstofthose wasarguablyhis toughesttask as he gotthe better of the fine French stayer Vazirabad and also had the 2016 winner Order Of St George back in fourth. Asuccess on QIPCO British Champions Dayfollowedaspart of aten-race unbeaten stretch which included his second Gold Cup when he was fullyincommand of Dee Ex Bee and the Melbourne Cup winner Cross Counter.
While those victories were hard-fought without being dominant, 2020 provided the evidence of his true superiority in the division. His ten-length victory in Royal Ascot’smostprestigious race wasatour de force that lit up the racecourse even without his adoring crowds,with the action taking place behind closed doors due to covid-19 protocols.
Victory in the 2021 Longines Sagaro Stakes setupa record-equalling bid to
land four Gold Cups.Sadly, it wasn’ttobe and although asecond attempttomatch Yeats also came to nothing this year, those defeats did nothing to diminish his reputation or legacy.
When connections called time on his fabulous career earlier this week, his owner Bjorn Nielsen said it bestofall, “He washugelyappreciated by the public. It wasjusta joyfromstart to finish.”
Indeed it was–thank youStradivarius from all at Ascot.

At all meetings there is ateam of specially qualified vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses.
During each race vets follow the horse by car and can attend acasualty in the same response time as the paramedic teams responsible for human casualties. It is standard practise for screens to be fixed around any horse receiving veterinary treatment. This does not reflect the severity of an injury, just allows the vet some privacy and the patient acalm environment in which to recover. Please do not always assume the worst if you see screens around afallen horse.
In the event of racing being abandoned, refunds on entrance money and car parks will only be made in the following circumstances:
a) Abandonment before the running of the first race –full refund.
b) Abandonment before the third or feature race, whichever is later –50% refund
In the event of an abandonment, please apply to the Customer Liaison Team in writing within three days for arefund.
