AS HO RT HISTORY

ASCOT’S BEGINNINGS

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

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 FIRST RACECOURSE

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.

ROYAL ASCOT

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.

Yeats

MANAGING ASCOT

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.

The 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.

HIGHLIGHTS AT ASCOT SINCE 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.

BHA

BHA handicappers allot ratings

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.

EQUINE AND HUMAN WELFARE

AT ASCOT RACECOURSE

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.

Nowhereisthis better demonstrated than in the changes made to the racing surface itself during the redevelopment in 2006.The key elements 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,aspreviously, some less experienced runners had occasionallyshied at the differing surfaces

Further improvements to equine welfare provision were made as part of a£700,000 project to create an enhanced unsaddling area in 2016.Increased in size to accommodate largefield races morecomfortably, the Unsaddling EnclosureLawnalso has equine misting fans to aid with post-race cooling of horses

ForJump racing, we introduced the one-fit padded hurdles for the start of the 2018 season, becoming the firstGrade 1track to do so.Vetsgenerallyfind fewersuperficial

injuries with horses running over padded hurdles compared to the traditional birch hurdle.

At the start of the 2022/23season, we switched from orangetowhite markings on our wood and vinyl padding of take-off boards, guardrails and top boards.Research from Exeter University showedwhite provides increased contrastand visibility for horses, leading to improved jumping performance. 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 as fastasthe 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 twoequine ambulances on course at all times and three ambulances for any incidents involving injuries to jockeys.The jockeys’ facilities at Ascotinclude amedical treatment room, rest rooms and adedicated room for physiotherapy

HER LATE MAJESTY THE QUEEN’S LOVE OF RACEHORSES INSPIRES THE NEXT GENERATION

As the horseracing world mourns the loss of HerMajesty Queen Elizabeth II, at Racing to School we reflect on the wonderful legacyshe has left on the sport, and howher love of racehorses will inspireyoung people for generations to come.

Thoroughbreds and the sport of horseracing held aspecial place in the heart of Her Late Majesty The Queen from avery earlyage.During this Platinum Jubilee year in July,itwas Racing to School’saim to inspireaconnection with horses in the next generation through an unforgettable dayoflearning at The RoyalStuds.

By RoyalAppointment

When Year 5and 6pupils of Weasenham CofEPrimary Academytook the short trip across to the Sandringham Estate in their minibus on asummer’s dayinJuly, they did so with little clue of what to expect at aworking Stud. Despite their rural location, for some of the pupils their Education Programme Daywith Racing to School at Fakenham Racecourse in Maywas the firsttime they had even seen ahorse. It maynot sink in for the pupils for along time that they areamong onlyasmall number of people invited each year to look behind the scenes at the Stud. Learning about the thoroughbred breeding season and the dailyroutines that provide the best possible carefor each horse were keyobjectivesofthe day.

Weasenham Primary Academy’spupils in front of statue of AscotGold Cup winner Estimate

Rich history, bright future

The group metthe Stud’sveterinarian and farrier,who both talked passionatelyabout their jobs and howtheir hardworkhad led them to careers they love.The highlight of the daywas always likelytobethe chance to meetsome of the Queen’shorses.The RoyalStuds were founded in the 16th century but retain all the components required to house HerMajesty’s stallions,mares and foals

Wesenham Primary Academy’sSarah Arthurton said: “Wefelt privilegedtobeable to come to the Stud, and David (Somers) wasfantastic. The children especiallyenjoyed feeding the horses,eventelling their class teacher once back in school that horses eat carrotsand polo mints! Once again, thank yousomuch for giving us the opportunity. The children lovedtheir visit.”

Weasenham pupils were made awareofthe patience required by those working with horses to learn their traits,tounderstand what environment suits them best, and to then preparethem to become as successful as possible on the racecourse.

An enduring passion

HerLate Majesty’s passion and knowledgewerekey themes of the day. Meeting success and setbacks with apragmatic and positive approach wasthe hallmark of the Monarch’sapproach to breeding racehorses –avaluable lesson for young minds to learn in their ownlives.

Thehistoric royalcolours of purple, gold braid and scarlethavebeen carried by a select group of jockeys over the years and featured throughout racing’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.AtSandringham, twolucky youngsters also had the chance to wear the special silks as the group walked through Sandringham Estate’sgrounds and on up to the statue of Gold Cup-winning heroine, Estimate. The great names of Eclipse and Persimmon –also captured in statue form at Sandringham –might not have meant too much to these young people beforenow,but we hope their legacywill. The charity would liketothank the Queen’sRacing Manager,John Warren and also David Somers and his team at Sandringham Stud for arranging the visit and for being such generous hosts of an unforgettable dayoflearning.

HORSE WELFARE

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.
