RACING AT ROYAL ASCOT

IN THIS UNPRECEDENTED YEAR, THERE ARE SEVERAL ALTERATIONS TO THE PROGRAMME, INCLUDING SIX EXTRA RACES BEING ADDED TO THE FIXTURE There will be seven races staged on the first four days, with eight on the final card.

The Buckingham Palace Handicap, lost from the card when the Commonwealth Cup was introduced in 2015, will open the meeting.

A Silver Royal Hunt Cup (1m) and a Silver Wokingham Handicap (6f) are included for those who miss the cut for the main events.

Also staged this year only will be the Copper Horse Handicap (14f, 4yo+), the Golden Gates Handicap (10f, 3yo) and the Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap (5f, 3yo).

Her Majesty The Queen has graciously consented to these temporary new names. The Copper Horse is 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 Golden Gates are the ceremonial entrance point for the Royal Procession at the end of the straight mile; The Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of the Monarchy in Scotland.

Amongst the changes to the regular programme are the movement of the St James’s Palace Stakes and Coronation Stakes to the final day, to maximise the time between them and the Guineas at Newmarket (6th and 7th June).

In order to provide two-year-olds with as much time as possible before the key races at Royal Ascot, the two year old programme has been moved back with four of the six races to be staged on Friday and Saturday.

The King Edward VII Stakes and Ribblesdale Stakes, now key Derby and

Oaks Trials, will be on the opening day in order to maximise the gap to Derby and Oaks Day (4th July). The Hampton Court, also an eligible Epsom trial this year, will be run on day two.

“We are most grateful to the BHA’s race planning team for their assistance in framing the additional races for this exceptional renewal of Royal Ascot,” said Nick Smith, Director of Racing and Public Affairs at Ascot Racecourse.

“We hope these extra opportunities will be welcomed by horsemen, broadcasters and the public at home.

“Under Ruth Quinn, a lot of work has gone into scheduling an appropriate Pattern trials programme, beginning on 3rd June, alongside an enhanced twoyear-old programme.”

Prize money for Royal Ascot was announced earlier this year as £3,680,000.

All eight Group One races will be run for £250,000 with no race at the newly formatted 36 race meeting (30 in regular years) run for less than £35,000.

With no early closing races operating this year, all races will close at the six-day stage and entry fees will be as normal, beginning at 1.25% for Group One races.

Guy Henderson, Chief Executive at Ascot Racecourse, said: “2020 was set to be a landmark year for Royal Ascot prize money. However, these unprecedented times have intervened. We have sought to respond by producing an enhanced programme of racing this year to maximise opportunities to participate and which in its own way will deliver an exciting and memorable Royal Meeting.

We have sought to respond by producing an enhanced programme of racing this year to maximise opportunities to participate and which in its own way will deliver an exciting and memorable Royal Meeting “Some 70% of our annual income comes from public admissions, including hospitality, and producing in excess of three and a half million pounds in prize money in the current circumstances would not have been possible without the support and commitment of our wonderful Official Partners QIPCO and Longines, for which we are all deeply grateful and express our sincere thanks on behalf of everyone involved.”

Awards for leading jockey, trainer and owner will once again be distributed at this year’s Royal Ascot.

Due to the protective measures in place this week, there will be no transferable armband for the leading jockey throughout the meeting.

The Royal Ascot Leading Owner Award was introduced in 2017 and has been dominated by Coolmore partners Sue Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith, who have topped the standings in each of the first three years. Once again, any partnerships between the trio will be counted as a single entity.

All three awards will be decided on the number of winners over the five days, with countbacks to places in the event of a tie.

The National Anthem will be played 15 minutes before the first race each day.

BROADCASTERS AT ROYAL ASCOT NBC Sports is back for a fourth year at Royal Ascot, presenting five consecutive days of live coverage to U.S. horse racing fans. NBCSN will televise 3.5 hours of live coverage each day from June 16-19, followed on Saturday, June 20 by a live three-hour show on the NBC broadcast network. Live coverage will also be streamed on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app – NBC Sports Group’s live streaming product for mobile devices, tablets, and connected TVs. Nick Luck returns to host Saturday’s coverage on NBC, providing American audiences with the storylines and intricacies of this historic event. Additionally, NBC Sports’ horse racing host Mike Tirico, Hall of Fame jockey Jerry Bailey, analyst Randy Moss, reporter Britney Eurton, and handicapper Eddie Olczyk will join Saturday’s broadcast remotely from multiple locations in the U.S., including NBC Sports’ Group’s International Broadcast Center, and Belmont Park – the site of the 2020 Belmont Stakes later that day.

Commentator John Hunt will be on-site all five days. There will be extensive coverage, commentary and news on 5 Live throughout the week.

ITV Racing will bring all the excitement of five days of top class racing to everyone watching Royal Ascot at home in 2020. The show, fronted by Ed Chamberlin and Francesca Cumani will broadcast six races a day on air from 1.30-5pm from Tuesday to Friday and seven races on Saturday, on air from 12.50-5pm.

Sky Sports Racing’s coverage will be spearheaded by Alex Hammond from their presentation position by the Parade Ring.

The Opening Show will be on ITV4 every day 9.30-10.30am.

Although Royal Ascot will look rather different in 2020, through remote technology, the Bafta-winning team will be encouraging owners and people watching at home to join in the unique thrill and exhilaration that only this meeting can produce.

All 36 races on the card over the week will be covered live and analysed by their team of experts. Hayley Moore will also be on hand to interview the winning connections across all five days.

ROYAL ASCOT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS REACHES OVER 120 TERRITORIES Royal Ascot may be taking place behind closed doors for the first time in its history, but the world’s greatest flat race meeting will still attract huge global TV audiences with over 120 countries due to tune in.

The traditional 30 races of the Royal Meeting have been supplemented by a further six top quality races to generate even more interest in one of the first major global sporting events to take place in the summer of 2020.

Led by extensive domestic coverage on ITV1 in the UK, coverage will span the globe with pictures also available in the USA, Australia, the Middle East, India, the Caribbean and Europe.

ITV’s coverage will feature 30 races from the Queen Anne Stakes on Tuesday 16th June to the closing Queen Alexandra Stakes on Saturday 20th June, live on their main channel.

Paul McNamara, Senior Director and Executive Producer, Major Events, ITV Sport said: “ITV again has the honour of broadcasting Royal Ascot. This year’s event, as ever, has top class racing but will be broadcast without the traditional thousands in attendance. This provides a unique challenge for us. We will aim to provide all the extra atmosphere via social media including reactions from owners and trainers, an insight into how the public is viewing at home, celebrity guests in the social stable and a virtual bandstand closer each day. It will be top class racing with a unique social media celebration.”

“We are again delighted to bring Sky Sports Racing viewers and attheraces. com users comprehensive coverage of the Royal Meeting. We will broadcast every race live with at least one race each day this year exclusive to Sky Sports Racing. Despite some very important restrictions in place we will be on air, live from Ascot at 9am each day and will have Alex Hammond, Jim McGrath, Hayley Moore and Josh Apiafi all presenting live on course from 12.30pm, Tuesday to Friday and from 12pm on Saturday.

Attheraces.com’s dedicated Royal Ascot site is already live with Oisin Murphy and William Buick interviews plus an exclusive Aidan O’Brien stable tour. The site will be constantly updated with latest news, previews, tips and analysis to guide users through the week.”

Coverage of Royal Ascot also continues on NBC, including Saturday which will be shown on the main NBC Channel (with days one to four on NBC Sports Network). NBC’s coverage will reach almost 80 million homes across the US. “While there may not be spectators in attendance, the terrific horse racing at Royal Ascot continues, and we are excited to once again present five days of live coverage to viewers in the United States,” said Jon Miller, President of Programming for NBC Sports and NBCSN.

Sky Sports Racing will broadcast every race live to around 14m homes in the UK and Ireland. Additionally, pictures will be streamed to more than 20 online bookmakers in the UK and Ireland.

Around 42 million homes in 17 countries in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region will be served by live coverage from Dubai Racing Channel and Yas TV (Abu Dhabi TV).

James Singer, Director, Domestic and International Media Rights at Sky Sports Racing / At The Races, said:

Globally, coverage of Royal Ascot will have a reach over 124 territories, enhanced through a new distribution partnership

11

with international horseracing media rights agency, HBA Media.

In Europe, major regional broadcasters including RAI (Italy), Match TV (Russia), Movistar (Spain) and Polsat (Poland) will air the event to millions of viewers alongside, S Sport (Turkey), Silknet (Georgia) and Sport Klub (Balkans).

Viewers in Israel will again be able to watch the entire Royal Meeting on Charlton.

Australia’s strong affinity with Ascot will continue with Racing.com, the country’s free-to-air horseracing network, broadcasting the full action-packed race schedule.

ESPN will showcase Royal Ascot to its established audience across Latin America.

Meanwhile, 48 countries in Africa will be served by leading broadcaster SuperSport while Caribbean fans will have access via SportsMax. Asia is covered by Shanghai TV, Beijing TV (China) and Eleven Sports (Taiwan) and others.

Global media powerhouse – Discovery – through its recently launched Eurosport India channel will take the Royal Meeting into 45 million homes in India.

Juliet Slot, Commercial Director at Ascot Racecourse, said: “We are delighted that the strength of Royal Ascot is once again demonstrated by the breadth of international broadcasters taking our pictures despite the meeting being held behind closed doors. It will be a unique event, as it always is but one that can be enjoyed by an ever-increasing global audience.

We would like to thank all of our global and UK broadcast partners for helping us bring our event to millions of homes around the world.”

Henry Birtles, Chief Executive of HBA Media, added: “We are delighted with the distribution secured during these unusual times, with Royal Ascot taking place behind closed doors, and we look forward to building upon this going forward”

ROYAL ASCOT BREAKS NEW GROUND WITH REAL-TIME WEATHER DATA Ascot is to become the first racecourse in the UK to publish live weather data via an innovative new App developed by Cambridgeshire-based Technology company, TurfTrax.

For the first time information including rainfall, wind speed and direction, soil moisture, and daily evapotranspiration (moisture loss) will be available to view in real-time alongside GoingStick readings, going maps, rails positions and irrigation in the build-up to and during Royal Ascot.

OVER 20 NATIONS SET TO JOIN 2020 WORLDPOOL Following the successful launch of World Pool at Royal Ascot last year, 20+ nations are set to bet into this year’s venture. In the absence of a Bet With Ascot on course venture, this year’s Worldpool is being promoted by the Tote off course as “Superpools.”

It won’t be quite in the style so many racing fans have come to enjoy as an integral feature of the British summer, but the quality of the racing action looks set to enthral and entertain us all, as it does every year.

“We are very excited to once again be working with our partners at the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Ascot Racecourse to create a Tote Superpool for customers of the Tote to bet into throughout Royal Ascot. I would like to thank everyone involved for their continued efforts to deepen the integration between us to the mutual benefit of both racing nations. Last year proved that pool betting operators can successfully work together to increase the appeal of betting on British racing. This year promises to once again bring huge liquidity into the pools, which combined with Tote Guarantee ensures the Tote really is the best place to bet for Royal Ascot. We look forward to introducing more Tote Superpools for other leading British race meetings in future.”

The Tote will once again be offering pools which are combined with those from Hong Kong and other leading racing nations including Australia, Singapore, South Africa, the UK and the USA. This will ensure there is far greater liquidity as racing fans from around the world bet into a single pool on British racing’s most prestigious race meeting.

Last year’s Worldpool, a joint venture between Ascot, the Hong Kong Jockey Club and the Tote, saw pools grow by over 400% from £17.9 million in 2018 to £92.2 million, with the Diamond Jubilee producing the first Win pool in excess of a million pounds on the final day of the Royal Meeting.

In addition, racing fans betting into the Tote’s pools received bigger winning odds in 16 races, with Tote returns betting SP by 32% over the course of the week.

Alastair Warwick, Chief Operating Officer at Ascot Racecourse, said: “The inaugural World Pool at Royal Ascot last year was ground-breaking and created a bit of history when the Diamond Jubilee Stakes became the first £1 million pool. We are grateful to our partners at the Hong Kong Jockey Club and the Tote for their continued commitment to the concept.”

Richard Cheung, Executive Director, Customer and International Business Development at the Hong Kong Jockey Club, said: “Royal Ascot is the most prestigious race meeting in the British racing calendar and much enjoyed by racing fans in Hong Kong. We are very proud of our partnership with the UK Tote and Ascot Racecourse again this year. We look forward to continuing to work together with our partners to expand pool betting opportunities on other global racing events.”

There will be a Tote Placepot running on each day of the Royal Meeting. It will run over the first 6 races on the card and pay to three places in every race in order to align with international operators betting into World Pool. These place terms apply to Place, Quadpot and Scoop 6 for Royal Ascot only.

Alex Frost, Chief Executive of the UK Tote Group, said: “Royal Ascot once again looks set to be a spectacular week of racing.

OWNERS AT HOME SET FOR VIRTUAL ROYAL EXPERIENCE Ascot Racecourse is delighted to announce a raft of arrangements and benefits for Owners ahead of next week’s Royal Meeting.

An online Racing Hub has been set up which will house the Turftrax live feed to real time weather data and going stick readings plus, during racedays, access to a live 360 degree Parade Ring camera feed which will pick up every horse as it walks around the Parade Ring.

Ascot’s official photographer will take pictures of every horse in the Parade Ring for owners to access post-event. Trainers and jockeys are very welcome to film / Facetime pre and post race debriefs with owners on their smartphones.

Also available on the Racing Hub will be the full sectionals from every race, courtesy of Ascot’s Official Timekeeper, Longines. Both ITV and Sky Sports Racing will show sectional times on screen.

On Sunday, Sky Sports Racing will be filming a behind the scenes piece with Clerk of the Course, Chris Stickels, in the Weighing Room and Parade Ring area. A link to this will be sent to owners, and indeed horsemen generally, via the ROA and respective industry bodies in advance of racing.

Owners will receive a pair of traditional, printed Royal Ascot racecards in advance of racedays, personalised with the name of their horse. In addition, as many

horses are in multiple ownerships, the full racecards will be digitally produced on the Racing Hub. Included with the posted racecards will be souvenir “Royal Ascot At Home” Owners Badges.

Whilst there won’t be formal trophy presentations this year, for obvious reasons, the historical Royal Ascot trophies will be sent to winning Owners after the event along with mementoes for winning trainers and jockeys.

Winning Owners will receive a video card of the race and photograph montage, as normal. In addition, in conjunction with Ascot’s Official Champagne, Moet & Chandon and sponsor, Fortnum & Mason, the owners of the first four home in all 36 races, and the winning Breeders, will receive a gift to celebrate with.

The Racing Hub can be accessed via: https://www.ascot.co.uk/royal-ascot2020-racing Nick Smith, Director of Racing and Public Affairs at Ascot, said: “Whilst the ultimate experience of being at Royal Ascot sadly isn’t possible this year, we hope that what we are planning will make ownership at home as special as possible. We are particularly pleased 16

to be able to provide Owners with a feed to the Parade Ring, and to be housing all the data that all horsemen need from real time weather and going reports to post race sectionals in one, convenient place.

“We are very conscious of the loyalty and commitment to the sport that Owners have shown over the past months and when permitted, of course they will be the first constituents welcomed back to Ascot.”

Charlie Liverton, Chief Executive of the Racehorse Owners’ Association, added: “I am thrilled that Royal Ascot and the ROA have been able to put together some fantastic initiatives that help to bring the magic of Royal Ascot home.

“They have gone to extraordinary lengths to bring Owners virtually in to the paddock, to speak with their trainers and jockeys and receive special behind the scenes access, along with personalised racecards for all those with a horse running. As ever, it will never replicate being able to attend in person, but rest assured we are working hard with the BHA and racecourses to get Owners back on course as a priority.”

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

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

The key elements of the project were to camber the home and old paddock bends and, crucially, to remove the road crossings over the track, replacing them with underpasses.

This has created a safer racecourse for the horses, where previously some less experienced runners had occasionally shied at the differing surfaces.

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.

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

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

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

The jockeys’ facilities at Ascot include a medical treatment room, rest rooms and a dedicated room for physiotherapy.

During Royal Ascot, there are six doctors on site, led by Senior Racecourse Medical Officer, Dr Peter Johnson, specifically to deal with any jockey injuries.

17

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

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

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

ASCOT RACECOURSE MAKES £100,000 CHARITY DONATION TO KICK START #STYLEDWITHTHANKS CAMPAIGN Earlier this month, Ascot launched its #StyledWithThanks charity appeal with a £100,000 donation to be split between four frontline charities: The National Emergencies Trust Relief Fund, NHS Charities Together, The Care Workers Charity and the Berkshire Community Foundation Coronavirus Fund.

Photos posted using the campaign hashtags will be turned into a giant rainbow mosaic image tribute which will become a permanent installation at Ascot Racecourse.

Guy Henderson, Chief Executive at Ascot Racecourse, commented: “In this unique year, our thoughts are with those that have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and of course the NHS and key workers who are playing such a heroic role.

Royal Ascot 2020 (Tuesday 16th to Saturday 20th June) will take place behind closed doors for the first time in the event’s history. However, racegoers will still be able to enjoy the racing action live on ITV and Sky Sports Racing and participate in what is traditionally recognised as the fashion event of the season.

“We are marking this year’s Royal Meeting with our #StyledWithThanks initiative so that people can combine the enjoyment of participating in the event from their homes with their own thanks and contribution to the fundraising campaign.”

Ascot is inviting fans across the globe to dress up as part of the racecourse’s wider ‘Royal Ascot At Home’ campaign, and wear a hat – whether it is a ladies’ hat or a men’s top hat, panama, trilby or other racing hat – before sharing a photo on social media using the campaign hashtags #StyledWithThanks and #RoyalAscot.

Plans have been unveiled to ensure Royal Ascot will once again be a vibrant, celebratory event this summer. A live schedule of coverage and entertainment will follow that of any other year, commencing when the gates would open and continuing with singing around the Bandstand after the last race. Some scheduled activities can now be viewed on a dedicated ‘Royal Ascot At Home’ activity hub at www. ascot.co.uk/royal-ascot-at-home, whilst others remain secret to surprise and delight audiences during the week itself. All money raised will be donated to The National Emergencies Trust Relief Fund, NHS Charities Together, The Care Workers Charity and the Berkshire Community Foundation.

Participants are being encouraged to donate £5 to the campaign fundraising page, share their outfit photo and tell their friends to do the same, helping to spread the #StyledWithThanks message in recognition of those working on the frontline of the global Covid-19 crisis.

Prizes will be given for the most Elegant, Original and Uplifting outfits across the week with a panel of fashion industry judges selecting the winners. Prizes include Royal Ascot 2021 tickets alongside a lunch for two at Jason Atherton’s Pollen Street Social with a bottle of Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage, an Afternoon Tea and Tiara Experience for two at the House of Garrard’s flagship boutique in London, and a Longines timepiece.

Upon entering the racecourse 300,000 crowd members who typically visit Royal Ascot would ordinarily be greeted by 3 miles of Union Jack bunting. This year, sets will be made available to download and print so fans can set the scene at home hanging bunting and creating their own flags to wave.

19

Activity packs for children will include design-your-own jockey silks and racing scenes to colour in, word searches and tips on how to make a hat at home. Designed to bring the essence of the Royal Meeting to home, these activities complement Ascot’s large-scale at-home fashion challenge #StyledWithThanks that encourages people to dress up for the occasion, share a photo, donate to the fundraising page and tell their friends to take part too.

A ‘Royal Ascot At Home Afternoon Tea’ package, offering indulgent treats sourced from award-winning British artisan producers, is also available to purchase from £45 plus postage with £5 from each sale being added to the fundraising efforts. Royal Ascot At Home Afternoon Tea available to order here.

A brand-new virtual Royal Ascot flower wall filter and dedicated Royal Ascot At Home GIFs are available to use on Instagram, making your outfit photos as realistic as possible when joining in the fun at home.

Competitive enthusiasts can test their knowledge by taking part in a Royal Ascot quiz and various competitions and prizes will be up for grabs throughout the week including Porsche driving experiences at Silverstone, a helicopter ride and Royal Ascot 2021 tickets and packages.

Live social media coverage will begin with the historic Royal Ascot Greencoats opening the racecourse gates at 10.30am, as is custom, and a new digital racecard will be available each day to give racing fans all the details of the enhanced 36-race order of running for 2020. Tipsters will take to Ascot’s social media channels to share insights and advice for betters and live television coverage will be aired each day on ITV and Sky Sports Racing.

Fans will be able to nominate friends and family on the Ascot website to receive a phone call from a racing legend or personality at some point during the week, including Frankie Dettori, Ed Chamberlin and Hollie Doyle, bringing a taste of the Royal Meeting directly to those who may be isolating alone or would benefit from a friendly call from a familiar racing face.

Each day, jockey fitness sessions will be streamed before racing commences, run by the Injured Jockey Fund, to get the adrenalin pumping and provide an eye-opening insight into the sorts of fitness regimes professional jockeys maintain.

Archive footage will be released daily marking the moment when the Royal Procession commences and image galleries showcasing fashion and sport photography captured over previous years will be updated every day featuring work by some of Britain’s most famous sports and society photographers.

With ten Michelin Stars collectively, Raymond Blanc OBE,

Ollie Dabbous, Brett Graham, Skye Gyngell, Eric Lanlard, Simon Rogan and James Tanner will whet appetites ahead of their return to the racecourse in 2021. Some of the chefs will also share recipes and participate in the ‘Coronation Chicken Stakes’ competing against each other to see whose interpretation of the famous dish secures the winning number of votes from the public.

Synonymous with the event, no Royal Meeting week would be complete without afternoon tea. In 2019 240,000 handcrafted afternoon tea cakes were served along with 220,000 finger sandwiches, 120,000 buttermilk scones, 80,000 cups of tea and 1,200kg of clotted cream. For Royal Ascot At Home the racecourse will for the first time share its secret recipes, to enable enthusiasts to create their own VIP tea. Executive Chef Gemma Amor and Head Chef Ben Dutson have prepared a downloadable shopping lists along with step-by-step recipes demonstrating how to recreate ‘quintessentially Royal Ascot’ treats, from classic cucumber sandwiches to victoria sponge and buttermilk scones. Enthusiasts can also find step-by-step guides for savoury favourites including confit of salmon with cucumber, cauliflower & horseradish sauce from legendary Royal Ascot ‘Chef In Residence’ Raymond Blanc OBE. In celebration of Royal Ascot At Home, a new online wine shop, the Ascot Wine Club, in partnership with Official Wine Supplier, Hallgarten & Novum Wines, and Official Champagne, Moët & Chandon, has launched. Available to racegoers at home, there will be the option of three cases of wine, each named after former Gold Cup Champions – The Yeats Case, The Sagaro Case and The Fame and Glory Case – featuring wines from across Hallgarten Wines’ awardwinning portfolio and Moët & Chandon’s flagship cuvées.

Supporting the #StyledWithThanks campaign, 10% of all wine sales through the website will be donated to Ascot’s chosen charities.

Additionally, each day there will be different Ascot Signature Serve cocktail with recipes cards available to download in advance including the Royal Ascot Blush and Monkey Went To Ascot.

Finally, inspired by the singing around the Bandstand that has happened at the end of every day of Royal Ascot since the 1970s, there will be footage of previous year’s festivities with downloadable songbooks available on the Ascot website.

Juliet Slot, Chief Commercial Officer, Ascot Racecourse, commented: “We’re excited to launch ‘Royal Ascot At Home’ for 2020.

During these unprecedented times when we aren’t able to welcome our usual 300,000 guests to the Royal Meeting, we want as many people as possible to enjoy the magic of the Royal Meeting from home. It will be a unique experience, like no other, for us all.

“We hope everyone will embrace the many wonderful activities and interactive challenges we have lined up on the Ascot website, in the lead up to and during the event, as well as tuning into all the live racing action on television.

A Royal Ascot At Home activity hub (www.ascot.co.uk/royalascot-at-home) filled with scheduled activities many of which embrace a fundraising element:

“With what has been happening in recent months, we wanted fundraising and frontline support to be at the heart of ‘Royal Ascot At Home’. Alongside the fantastic racing and entertainment in store, we’re also encouraging people to dress up at home and celebrate with us while raising money for our chosen charities and saying ‘thank you’ to the NHS and frontline workers who are playing such an important role. Our #StyledWithThanks campaign has already launched and we have had a fantastic response.”

Royal Ascot and the British Hat Guild, spearheaded by the legendary Stephen Jones OBE, have invited leading British milliners to create a bespoke hat or headpiece featuring a rainbow theme, in-line with the nation’s use of rainbows to thank the NHS and frontline workers. The final collection includes designs by industry greats such as Stephen Jones OBE, Jane Taylor, Lock & Co. Hatters, Rachel Trevor Morgan, Lisa Tan, William Chambers and Awon Golding. Their hats will be auctioned online throughout the week of ‘Royal Ascot At Home’ with all money raised being added to the charity fund.

Ascot has been working alongside The British Fashion Council to support British designers, with a series of fashion illustrations. Inviting a selection of key British-based fashion designers to create sketches and illustrations of their dream Royal Ascot outfit, designers have also followed a rainbow theme in keeping with the nation’s use of rainbows to thank the NHS and frontline workers.

Designers including RIXO, Suzannah, Amanda Wakeley, Galvan and The Deck have created inspiring and uplifting sketches which will be featured by Ascot and the British Fashion Council during this year’s event.

ASCOT RACECOURSE COVID -19 RESPONSE During the COVID-19 crisis, Ascot Racecourse has been supporting its local community, charities and importantly the NHS - all of whom are facing unprecedented challenges during these difficult times.

NHS Volunteer Drivers

environment. They created the concept of the lounges which are now present in 30 hospitals nationally and are all staffed by furloughed airline staff.

For nine weeks, a team of 23 volunteer drivers comprising employees and colleagues from CSP, our car parking contractors, have been driving medical professionals and supplies to and from various Surrey and Berkshire hospital sites. The team have now amassed over 1700 volunteer hours.

Each aims to offer a “first class” type of experience; a comfortable space, premium tea/coffees snacks and an opportunity for staff to relax, download and have a different conversation.

As part of this initiative, Ascot Racecourse has also been delivering an “afternoon tea experience” to the Frimley lounge each week for staff to enjoy.

NHS Testing Site The racecourse became a drive through testing site for NHS workers and their dependents from April-June.

Tom Barnes said of the inaugural delivery: “Today was a resounding success. The staff at Frimley were over the moon - we made this a surprise. The quality of the food you provided was sublime - seriously impressed. The frontline staff who needed it received their afternoon treat in abundance; we’d estimate around 50 clinicians and staff benefitted from your donation.”

Fifteen full-time and eight casual staff members were redeployed to assist at NHS testing centres located at Gatwick, Portsmouth and North London.

Ascot also supplied packed lunches to all staff volunteering at the Newbury and Reading NHS test sites.

On Thursday, 8th May 2020, Ascot CEO, Guy Henderson, was delighted to present a hamper from sponsors Fortnum & Mason, to “Project Wingman” at Frimley Hospital.

“On behalf of all at Frimley, Clinicians, Staff, Wingman Volunteers - thank you.”

“Project Wingman” is the brain child of two furloughed BA flight captains who recognised the synergies between doctors/nurses needing to talk through stressful situations post-shift (much like airline crew post flight), in a relaxing 24

Charities In partnership with Berkshire Community Foundation, we have allocated monies from our annual community fund to local charities: Slough Foodbank - £6,000 allocated to enable them to immediately purchase food via Ascot’s supply chain First Days Charity - £2,000 allocated to provide emergency supply packs for families in financial difficulty Dingley’s Promise - £1,000 allocated to continue to provide support to less abled children and their families ME2 Club - £500 allocated to help support vulnerable families during the crisis and to be able to restart their face to face activities.

Thames Hospice - £1,000 allocated to help with their emergency appeal to buy medical supplies Foundation 500 - £500 allocated to support the launch of “The Foundation 500” – an initiative devised by the organisers of the Property Race Day charity event which was due to be held at Ascot. To mitigate the subsequent funding loss, the initiative is appealing to individuals and businesses to make a single contribution of £500 to ensure that those charities can keep up their wonderful work. They are also donating 25% of the funds raised to the NHS to help the coronavirus effort.

NHS Charities Together - staff donated £520 to participate in the Virtual Grand National, which was fund-matched by the Ascot Racecourse Directors to provide a total of £1,020, with all funds donated to the NHS Charities Together.

Raising the Spirits of Staff & Troops On Wednesday, 29th April, Ascot Racecourse donated 1,000 bottles of beer to ABF The Soldiers Charity to distribute to deserving colleagues supporting the coronavirus effort.

Kingston NHS hospital also picked up 400 bottles to distribute to NHS staff.

We hope that they all enjoy a glass on us cheers!

HISTORY

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

These are unprecedented times, certainly in our lifetimes. Royal Ascot Behind Closed Doors marks another chapter in the racecourse’s history. Whilst it is desperately sad that the most colourful event in the racing calendar will be open to only a few, one day it’ll be the stuff of legend, very much like…

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

40

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

The new round course is used to this day.

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

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

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.

The precise origin of the Royal Meeting is unclear. It was an event that evolved, perhaps, rather than was introduced at a specific time, but the first four-day meeting took place in 1768.

Arguably, the meeting as we know it today started to take shape with the introduction of the Gold Cup in 1807.

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

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.

42

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

Although a Royal Stand dates back to the 1790s, the Royal Enclosure that current regulars are used to at Ascot was conceived in 1822 when King George IV commissioned a two-storey stand to be built with a surrounding lawn.

Access was by invitation of the King. In 1825, the Royal Procession as an annual tradition began. The King, leading four other coaches with members of the Royal party, drove up the centre of the racecourse in front of the crowds and this has continued to the present day.

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

43

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.

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

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

Ascot’s first major redevelopment came to fruition in 1954, with the relocation of the straight mile north to allow more space behind the stands. This was the second such move and even this time around, they didn’t go quite far enough as

44

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

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

2002 saw plenty of change to the established pattern at Royal Ascot as the meeting expanded to five days to mark The Queen’s Golden Jubilee. In addition, one race name

in 1999 to eight, with the addition of the Commonwealth Cup in 2015).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

45

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.

This year, for the first time in it’s history Royal Ascot will be run behind closed doors, due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.

ASCOT RACECOURSE

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

Summer, 1711 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 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.”

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

June, 1711 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.

1807 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-yearolds do not run in the race.

11 August 1711 The first race meeting ever held at Ascot took place. Her Majesty’s Plate, worth 100 guineas and open to any horse, mare or gelding over the age of six, was the inaugural event.

Each horse was required to carry a weight of 12st and seven runners took part.

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

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 Master of the Buckhounds continued to manage the races and the racecourse – just as it was more than 100 years before.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1768 The first four-day meeting took place.

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

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

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

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

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

1838 Horses were numbered in the racecard.

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

1902 A third stand was built at a cost of £27,636. This stand included lifts, the first to be installed on a British racecourse.

In order to have the work completed by May, 1902, some 500 men were employed on the task, working day and night shifts.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1896 The Grandstand had a clock tower erected.

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

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

RACE HISTORIES & CONDITIONS The Buckingham Palace Stakes (Handicap)

The King’s Stand Stakes (Group 1)

Seven furlongs, Three Year Olds & Upwards One of six races added to Royal Ascot for 2020, the seven furlong Buckingham Palace Handicap is 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. This year it will open the Royal Meeting.

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 Anne Stakes (Group 1) One Mile, Four Year Olds & Upwards 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 three-year average rating of any Group 2 race in Britain from 1999 to 2002 according to the then International Classifications and was elevated to Group 1 status accordingly in 2003. Traditionally the opening race of the meeting, this year it will be second on an amended day one programme.

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

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. Traditionally run on the Thursday, this year the race is in an earlier slot and will act as a key trial for the Oaks, allowing fillies the maximum amount of time before the rearranged Epsom Classic which has been pushed back a month.

The Ascot Stakes (Handicap) Two miles, four furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards 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. The race normally attracts horses that will go on to run in the major staying handicaps throughout the season including the Northumberland Plate and the Ebor.

The King Edward VII Stakes (Group 2)

The Silver Royal Hunt Cup (Handicap)

One mile, four furlongs, Three Year Old Colts & Geldings 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, it has this year been moved to the opening day from its normal Friday slot. That will allow it to act as a key trial for the Derby, maximising the time between the two races with the middle-distance Classic having been delayed a month by the suspension of British racing.

One mile, Three Year Olds & Upwards Run over Ascot’s famous Straight Mile and open to threeyear-olds and upwards, the opening race of the Wednesday card is one of six races added to the race programme for 2020. A consolation race for The Royal Hunt Cup, it allows those horses who missed the cut for the prestigious Heritage Handicap the chance to bid for Royal Ascot glory.

49

The Hampton Court Stakes (Group 3)

The Copper Horse Stakes (Handicap)

One mile, two furlongs, Three Year Olds The Tercentenary Stakes became the new name for the Hampton Court Stakes in 2011, when the racecourse celebrated 300 years since its inauguration. It was also promoted from Listed to Group 3 in tandem. The race 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. This 10-furlong event, restricted to three-year-olds, reverted back to being the Hampton Court Stakes in 2017 and this year will be run a day earlier than normal on the Wednesday, providing another eligible Epsom trial for Derby and Oaks hopefuls.

One mile, six furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards Staged over a mile and three quarters, the Copper Horse Stakes is 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 has graciously consented to the race’s temporary name to be included this year only. 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 race could act as an important stepping stone to the major staying handicaps later in the year, including the Ebor and possibly even the Melbourne Cup.

The Golden Gates Stakes (Handicap)

The King George V Stakes (Handicap) One mile, four furlongs, Three Year Olds Like the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes, this is a Handicap for middle distance performers, staged over one and a half miles.

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. It is for three-year-olds only and moves a day earlier to Wednesday for 2020 as part of wider changes to the race programme.

One mile, two furlongs, Three Year Olds The opening contest on Thursday is among the six prizes added to the Royal Ascot race programme in 2020 and one of three newly named contests to be staged exclusively this year. 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 has graciously consented to this temporary title for the race which will be run over a mile and a quarter for three-year-olds only.

The Prince of Wales’s Stakes (Group 1)

The Wolferton Stakes (Listed)

One mile, two furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards 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.

One mile, two furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards 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.

The Jersey Stakes (Group 3) Seven furlongs, Three Year Olds 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 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 realigned as part of the previous redevelopment.

The Chesham Stakes (Listed) Seven furlongs, Two Year Olds 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 twoyear-olds. Now a Listed contest, the race takes place over the longer distance of seven furlongs and is restricted to youngsters whose sires won at ten furlongs or more.

The Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed) Five furlongs, Two Year Olds First run in 1839 over the straight mile course, this race was originally designed to attract three-year-old colts and fillies that had competed in the early season Classics. It is now run over the minimum distance of five furlongs and restricted to two-year-olds.

50

The Gold Cup (Group 1)

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. Normally run a day earlier, this is one of several juvenile races moved to later in the week in order to provide participants with as much of a break as possible following their debut run on the resumption of British racing earlier this month.

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 dual Gold Cup wins, enhancing the race’s reputation as a specialists’ event. Sagaro won three times in the 1970s but Yeats did better still, becoming a four-time winner in 2009.

The Queen’s Estimate won the 2013 Gold Cup, providing her with her 22nd Royal Ascot winner. The 2019 renewal, won for the second year running by Stradivarius, was the top rated stayers’ race in the world.

The Hardwicke Stakes (Group 2) One mile, four furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards 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.

The Britannia Stakes (Heritage Handicap) Old 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-yearold fillies only.

The Commonwealth Cup (Group 1) Six furlongs, Three Year Olds Colts and Fillies The Commonwealth Cup was a completely new race in 2015 and joined the King’s Stand Stakes and Diamond Jubilee Stakes to become the third Group 1 sprint at Royal Ascot. The race, run over six furlongs, is restricted to three-year-old colts and fillies and was put in place as a Europe-wide measure to create a better Pattern for young sprinters and improve the quality of sprint races across the continent. Several races in the run up to the Commonwealth Cup were promoted in tandem, including the Commonwealth Cup Trial at Ascot, in April to Group 3. The 2019 renewal of the Commonwealth Cup, won by Advertise, was the joint highest rated three-yearold race in the world.

The Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes (Handicap) Five furlongs, Three Year Olds The opening race on Friday is among six prizes added to the Royal Ascot race programme for 2020. A five-furlong sprint for three-year-olds, Her Majesty The Queen has graciously consented to this temporary 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. It was dropped in place of the Windsor Forest Stakes and the final running was won by Roger Charlton and Richard Hughes with Deportivo.

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 Vase in 1903 and reverted to its original name of the Queen’s Vase on the succession of Queen Elizabeth II. Run over a-mile-and-three-quarters, this contest provides a test of stamina for three-year-olds and winners of the race often go on to compete in the Gold Cup in future years. Her Majesty The Queen’s Estimate and current stay stayer Stradivarius are the most recent Queen’s Vase winners (2012 and 2017 respectively) to win the historic Gold Cup in subsequent seasons.

The Albany Stakes (Group 3) Six furlongs, Two Year Old Fillies 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.

The Duke of Edinburgh Stakes (Handicap) One mile, four furlongs, Three Year Olds & Upwards 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 twoyear-olds, it has now evolved into a middle distance handicap for three-year-olds and upward.

The Norfolk Stakes (Group 2) Five furlongs, Two Year Olds First run in 1843, this race was formerly known as the New Stakes and staged over a distance of just under four furlongs.

51

The Silver Wokingham Stakes (Handicap)

The Diamond Jubilee Stakes (Group 1)

Six furlongs, Three Year Olds & Upwards The final of six races to be added to the programme for 2020, the opening race of the final day is a consolation race for the Wokingham Stakes. It will present those who missed the cut for the big handicap later in the card with an opportunity to compete on one if racing’s greatest stages.

Six furlongs, Four Year Olds & Upwards Formerly known as the Cork and Orrery Stakes, Royal Ascot’s most prestigious sprint was given a new name – the Golden Jubilee Stakes - and elevated to Group 1 status to celebrate The Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002. Ten years later, it assumed the mantle of the Diamond Jubilee Stakes.

First run in 1868, this six-furlong contest was originally named after Lord Cork, another Master of the Buckhounds. In 2015, it became a race for four-year-olds and upwards, as the three-year-olds now have the Commonwealth Cup option.

The 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. In light of the fact British racing was only able to resume earlier this month, the race has been moved from its usual Wednesday slot to Saturday, maximising the time between participants’ debut runs and Royal Ascot.

The Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap) Six furlongs, Three Year Olds & Upwards The inaugural running of the Wokingham 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 Coventry Stakes (Group 2)

The Queen Alexandra Stakes (Conditions)

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 part of the opening day card but will be run on the Saturday this year to allow two-year-olds additional time between their debuts and Royal Ascot. Many top class horses win this race before going on to achieve greatness and, in 2004, the race was promoted to Group 2 status.

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 this race on six consecutive occasions between 1929 and 1934.

The Queen Alexandra Stakes always closes the meeting and although, or 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 Coronation Stakes (Group 1) Old mile, Three Year Old Fillies First run in 1840 to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria two years previously, the Coronation Stakes is for three-year-old fillies and regularly attracts horses that have run in the British, Irish and French 1,000 Guineas. The race is usually run a day earlier but owing to the fact the Newmarket Classic was only run on 7th June due to the suspension of racing, it has been moved to the final day of Royal Ascot this year to give participating fillies a little more time between the two.

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. Although such international representation will be difficult this year, the race has been moved to the final day of Royal Ascot to allow maximum between the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket.

I

n 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!”

I

t 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...?

S M

ince Queen Anne founded Ascot Racecourse back in 1711, a further 11 monarchs have acceded to the British throne.

I

n 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.

rs 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!”

T

he 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.

B

ack 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!”

V

iscount 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.

K

ing 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.

M

any 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.

ue 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.

MEDIA & RACING CONTACTS

ir 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.

uring 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!

n 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!

n 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 RACES

THE BUCKINGHAM PALACE HANDICAP Background The Buckingham Palace Handicap makes a one-off reappearance in 2020 as part of the extended race programme following the COVID-19 epidemic.

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) – went to take the G3 Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh for his owner-breeder, The Earl Cadogan; also runnerup in Goodwod’s G2 Celebration Mile.

Regal Parade (2008) - trained by the late David Nicholls, Regal Parade is undoubtedly the best horse to win the Buckingham Palace Handicap. Following his success in 2008, he went on to win the Ayr Gold Cup later in the season and proved even better as he got older, taking the 2009 G1 Haydock Sprint Cup and the G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville in 2010. The remarkable performer ran over 100 times in his career, winning on 13 occasions before finally retiring aged 12 in 2016.

Overseas-trained winners None Oldest winner Uhoomagoo was eight when scoring in 2006.

Betting Longest-priced winner: Binanti (2007) & Louis The Pious (2014), both 33/1 Shortest-priced winner: Unscrupulous (2004) & Jedburgh (2005), both 8/1 Market leaders: No market leaders were successful in the previous 13 runnings.

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, being for four-year-olds and above. 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, successful in seven G1 races including the 2006 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot.

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

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

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

Overseas-trained winners (since 1946) Ireland (6): Southbourne (1952), Upadee (1954), Imperial March (1975), Ad Valorem (2006), Haradasun (2008), Declaration Of War (2013) 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 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 G1 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.

Riposte (2013) – there were emotional scenes in the winner’s enclosure when Riposte gave Lady Cecil, widow of Sir Henry Cecil who died nine days previously, her first Royal Ascot training success.

Star Catcher (2019) – notched up a G1 hat-trick following her Ribblesdale success, landing the Irish Oaks, Prix Vermeille and QIPCO British Champion 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: 13/8F Bahr (1998) Market leaders: 9 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 43 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) Most successful jockey (since 1977) 7 wins Frankie Dettori – Phantom Gold (1995), Bahr (1998), Fairy Queen (1999), Punctilious (2004), Flying Cloud (2009), Hibaayeb (2010), Star Catcher (2019) 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 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 (1m 3f 211y).

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

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

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

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

THE 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 (which started as the Stand Plate in 1837 before becoming the Royal Stand Plate in 1858) 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.

The race’s inclusion in the Global Sprint Challenge, founded in 2005, helped to attract challengers from all over the world.

There have been 11 overseas-trained winners since the turn of the century. The King’s Stand Stakes is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series.

Notable winners 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.

Dayjur (1990) – followed up Ascot success by setting a course record at York in the Nunthorpe Stakes before victories in the Haydock Sprint Cup and the Prix de l’Abbaye; described by jockey Willie Carson as “possibly the best thoroughbred I ever rode.”

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

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

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

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

Oldest winner (since 1946) Three horses aged seven have succeeded – The Tatling (2004), Takeover Target (2006) and Sole Power (2014) Overseas-trained successes (since 1946) Ireland (8): Sound Track (1950), Cassarate (1952), Abergwaun (1973), Godswalk (1977), Solinus (1978), Bluebird (1987), Sole Power (2013 & 2014) France (7): Palariva (1956), Amber Rama (1970), Flirting Around (1975), Last Tycoon (1986), Don’t Worry Me (1997), Nuclear Debate (2000), Chineur (2005) Australia (4): Choisir (2003), Takeover Target (2006), Miss Andretti (2007), Scenic Blast (2009) Hong Kong (1): Little Bridge (2012) Spain (1): Equiano (2008) USA (1): Lady Aurelia (2017) Betting (since 1946) Longest-priced winners: Squander Bug (1948) & Don’t Worry Me (1997), both 33/1 Shortest-priced winner: Lochsong 3/10 (1994) Market leaders: 19 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 73 runnings Most successful trainer (since 1946) 5 wins: Vincent O’Brien IRE - Cassarate (1952), Abergwaun (1973), Godswalk (1977), Solinus (1978), Bluebird (1987) Most successful jockey (since 1946) 7 wins: Lester Piggott - Right Boy (1957), Majority Rule (1963), Swing Easy (1971), Abergwaun (1973), Godswalk (1977), Solinus (1978), Never So Bold (1985) 63

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

THE SILVER ROYAL HUNT CUP Background Staged for 2020 only, this mile handicap is a consolation race for horses who miss the cut for the Royal Hunt Cup later on Wednesday’s card.

THE HAMPTON COURT STAKES Background Initially run as the New Stakes as part of the Saturday Heath Day card after the four days of Royal Ascot, the Hampton Court Stakes became a Royal Ascot contest in 2002 when the Royal Meeting was extended to five days.

The 10-furlong (1m 1f 212y) contest for three-year-olds was named the Tercentenary Stakes between 2011 and 2016 as the racecourse celebrated 300 years since its inauguration, but reverted to the Hampton Court Stakes in 2017.

Notable winners include Collection (2008) – went on to become one of Hong Kong’s top middle-distance performers, winning both the Hong Kong Derby in 2009 and the Hong Kong Gold Cup in 2010.

Cannock Chase (2014) – graduated to G1 honours when taking the Canadian International Stakes at Woodbine in 2015.

Hawkbill (2016) – followed up his Royal Ascot success with victory in the G1 Eclipse on his next start, his sixth consecutive triumph. He added a further G1 to his CV at Meydan, when taking the Dubai Sheema Classic in March, 2018.

Benbatl (2017) – Godolphin flagbearer who has since landed G1 prizes in Australia, Germany and Dubai.

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 after the war, 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 (1m 1f 212y).

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

Notable winners 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 G1 1,000 Guineas and G1 Champion Stakes, both at Newmarket, the season before.

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

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

So You Think (2012) – won back-to-back Cox Plates, Australia’s most prestigious race, for legendary trainer Bart Cummings; continued 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.

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 18th century. Prior to the 1900 running, Royal Flush had shown form only in minor races and appeared to be out of his depth.

But his trainer, Enoch Wishard, had perfected the technique of doping and was able to induce the necessary improvement.

Royal Flush won and netted a fortune for his unscrupulous American owners.

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

The race 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, while he also finished runner-up to Paco Boy in 2009 Queen Anne Stakes.

THE COPPER HORSE HANDICAP

Background Run over a mile and three-quarters, this handicap for four-year-olds and upwards is being staged 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 GOLDEN GATES HANDICAP

Background A 10-furlong handicap for three-year-olds only, which is being run as part of Royal Ascot’s enhanced progamme in 2020. The Golden Gates are the ceremonial entrance point for the Royal Procession at the end of Ascot’s straight mile.

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 inaugurated in 2002 with the extension of Royal Ascot to a five-day meeting.

The mile and a quarter contest (1m 1f 212y) 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 for Godolphin, capturing the Chipping Norton Stakes and Ranvet Stakes.

THE JERSEY STAKES Background Named after the 4th Earl of Jersey, the Jersey Stakes was established in 1919 and replaced the second leg of the Triennial Stakes, a three-year cycle of races which was discontinued after the First World War. The 4th Earl of Jersey was Master of the Buckhounds in 1782 and 1783.

The seven-furlong contest over the straight course is restricted to three-year-olds who have yet to win a Group 1 or Group 2 race, although it regularly features horses who have competed at that level.

Notable winners include Indian Ridge (1988) – returned to Ascot in 1989 to win the five-furlong King’s Stand Stakes; successful stallion and broodmare sire.

Zilzal (1989) – awarded the highest Timeform rating (137) of the year, ahead of Nashwan and Old Vic, following dominant displays in Goodwood’s G1 Sussex Stakes and the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes back at Ascot.

Diktat (1998) – proved himself a top-class sprinter in 1999 with G1 victories in the Prix Maurice de Gheest and Haydock Sprint Cup; sire of 2011 European champion sprinter Dream Ahead.

Mozart (2001) – dropped back in trip to win the six-furlong G1 July Cup at Newmarket and five-furlong G1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York.

Ribchester (2016) – progressed to win the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville later that year as well as the G1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury and G1 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2017.

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 mile and a quarter or further.

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; also victorious in the English and Irish 2,000 Guineas in May, 2017.

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 G1 Vincent O’Brien National Stakes, when he powered to a ninelength success.

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 (2m 3f 210y), 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. The most recent winner of the Derby to take part was Blakeney, who finished runner-up in 1970.

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 took the Coronation Cup at Epsom Downs as a four-year-old; also won the Irish St Leger, the Prix Royal-Oak and the Goodwood Cup; became the oldest winner (8yo) of the Gold Cup since Merman in 1900 when gaining his fourth success in 2009 and is commemorated with a statue in Ascot’s parade ring.

Rite Of Passage (2010) – set a track record of 4m 16.92s for the Gold Cup and no other winner has come close to it.

Estimate (2013) – The Queen’s stayer created history when 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) – has dominated the staying division in recent seasons with his big race haul also including three G1 Goodwood Cups, two G2 Lonsdale Cups, as well as further success at Ascot in the G2 Queen’s Vase and the G2 QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup. 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: 1/5F Ardross (1981) Market leaders: 29 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 73 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) 82

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 (1m 3s 211y) 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 the next month, 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; went on to capture the Japan Cup later the same 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). He won the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes by a record 11 lengths, a performance judged to be the best in the world that year by the World Thoroughbred Rankings, before a leg injury forced retirement.

Crystal Ocean (2018) – provided his trainer Sir Michael Stoute with a remarkable 11th Hardwicke Stakes victory and returned to the Royal Meeting the following year to win the G1 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes.

Overseas-trained winners (since 1977) Ireland (6) – Meneval (1977), Stanerra (1983), Oscar Schindler (1996), Macarthur (2008), Await The Dawn (2011), Idaho (2017) France (2) – Montcontour (1978), Scorpio (1980) Oldest winners (since 1977) The oldest winners have been six-year-olds Jupiter Island (1985), Posidonas (1998), Zindabab (2002), Bandari (2005) and Maraahel (2007) Betting (since 1977) Longest-priced winner: 50/1 Assatis (1990) Shortest-priced winner: 4/11 Assatis (1989) Market leaders: 15 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 43 runnings Most successful trainer (since 1977) 11 wins: Sir Michael Stoute – Dihistan (1986), Rock Hopper (1991, 1992), Maraahel (2006, 2007), Harbinger (2010), Sea Moon (2012), Telescope (2014), Snow Sky (2015), Dartmouth (2016), Crystal Ocean (2018) Most successful jockey (since 1977) 6 wins*: Pat Eddery – Orange Bay (1976), Dihistan (1986), Assatis (1989), Rock Hopper (1991, 1992), Posidonas (1998) *Eddery also won on Charlie Bubbles in 1975 Most successful owner (since 1977) 4 wins: Hamdan Al Maktoum – Almaarad (1988), Bandari (2005), Maraahel (2006 & 2007)

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

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

All 18 runners had already secured black type, while 13 were Group or Listed winners. Muhaarar, an Oasis Dream colt owned

by Hamdan Al Maktoum and trained by Charlie Hills, was the most impressive winner, coming home clear of future G1 victor Limato.

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

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

Caravaggio (2017) – doubled his tally at Royal Ascot, after a brilliant victory in the 2016 Coventry Stakes, in an oustanding renewal of the race; chased home by Harry Angel, who ended the year as Europe’s champion sprinter, and Blue Point, who in 2019 emulated Choisir by winning the G1 King’s Stand Stakes and G1 Diamond Jubilee 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 (1m 6f 34y), having previously been run at two miles, and was upgraded to G2 status for the first time, with the prize money boosted to £225,000. This was part of reforms brought in to strenghen the race programme for stayers in Britain.

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

Notable winners 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.

Mamool (2002) – went on to win the 2003 G2 Yorkshire Cup before dropping back in trip and gaining two G1s in Germany, notably the Grosser Preis von Baden.

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

Stradivarius (2017) – prolific stayer who has won the last two editions of the Gold Cup; also a three-time winner of the G1 Goodwood Cup and dual winner of the G2 Lonsdale Cup at York; crowned Europe’s champion stayer in 2018 & 2019.

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

Queen’s Vase/St Leger double The Queen’s Vase has become a classier race in recent years. This is emphasised by Leading Light (2013) and Kew Gardens (2018), both trained by Aidan O’Brien, going on to victory in the G1 St Leger at Doncaster.

Overseas-trained winners (since 1977) Ireland (8): Ore (1981), Gordi (1996), Mahler (2007), Mikhail Glinka (2010), Leading Light (2013), Aloft (2015), Sword Fighter (2016), Kew Gardens (2018) France (1): Infrasonic (1993) Betting (since 1977) Longest-priced winner: Stavordale (1986) & Sword Fighter (2016), both 33/1 Shortest-priced winner: Leading Light 5/4 (2013) Market leaders: 15 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 43 runnings Most successful trainer (since 1977) 7 wins Mark Johnston – And Beyond (2001), Shanty Star (2003), Melrose Avenue (2005), Soapy Danger (2006), Holberg (2009), Namibian (2011), Hartnell (2014) The late Sir Henry Cecil won the race eight times between 1972 and 1999 Most successful jockey (since 1977) 4 wins Kevin Darley – And Beyond (2001), Shanty Star (2003), Melrose Avenue (2005), Soapy Danger (2006).

THE SILVER WOKINGHAM HANDICAP Background A consolation race for horses who miss the cut for the Wokingham Handicap later on Saturday’s card, this six-furlong handicap is part of Royal Ascot’s enhanced order of running in 2020.

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 G1 Nunthorpe Stakes (5f) at York in August.

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

Lady Aurelia (2016) – became the the third American-trained winner of the Queen Mary Stakes – all from Wesley Ward’s stables – following on from Jealous Again in 2009 and Acapulco in 2015; made all to win by seven lengths and was impressive again when returning to Royal Ascot in 2017 to win the G1 King’s Stand Stakes.

Queen Mary Stakes/1,000 Guineas double Two fillies have done the double since the Second World War – Waterloo (1971) and Attraction (2003) Overseas-trained winners (since 1977) Ireland (4): Gloriella (1988), Damson (2004), Elletelle (2007), Anthem Alexander (2014) USA (3): Jealous Again (2009), Acapulco (2015), Lady Aurelia (2016) Betting (since 1977) Longest-priced winner: Night Of Wind 50/1 (1983) Shortest-priced winner: Amaranda 4/6 (1977) Market leaders: 15 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 43 runnings Most successful trainer (since 1977) 5 wins Richard Hannon snr – Fly Baby (1981), Lyric Fantasy (1992), Risky (1993), Gilded (2006), Best Terms (2011) Most successful jockey (since 1977) 3 wins Walter Swinburn – Widaad (1982), Risky (1993), Gay Gallanta (1994) Frankie Dettori – Bint Allayl (1998), Lady Aurelia (2016), Raffle Prize (2019) Most successful owner (since 1977) 2 wins Coolmore Partners – Damson (2004), Acapulco (2015) Jaber Abdullah – Queen’s Logic (2001), Flashy Wings (2003) Hamdan Al Maktoum – Nadwah (1997), Maqaasid (2010)

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 Group Two (G2) status in 2004, having been a G3 since 1984. It is the first Group race for twoyear-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 at Royal Ascot, before injury forced retirement; champion sire in 1919 and left lasting impression on breed through daughter and influential broodmare Mumtaz Mahal.

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

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

Canford Cliffs (2009) – achieved rare feat of winning at Royal Ascot three years in row; romped home by six lengths in the Coventry Stakes, won the 2010 St James’s Palace Stakes during a sparkling three-year-old campaign and defeated outstanding French mare Goldikova in 2011 Queen Anne Stakes. He won five G1 races.

Coventry Stakes/2000 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 winners: Chief Singer (1983), Landseer (2001), War Command (2013), all 20/1 Shortest-priced winners: Primo Dominie 4/7 (1984) Market leaders: 21 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 43 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 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 creditably in the the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket in early May. The first filly to complete the 1,000 Guineas/Coronation Stakes double was the Jos Dawson-trained Lady Augusta in 1863.

Twelve fillies have done the double in the post-war period – Belle Of All (1951), Zabara (1952), Happy Laughter (1953), Festoon (1954), Fleet (1967), Humble Duty (1970), One In A Million (1979), Russian Rhythm (2003), Attraction (2004), Ghanaati (2009), Sky Lantern (2013) and Winter (2017).

The Coronation Stakes, run over the round mile (7r 213y), 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 de Longchamp in France and the Breeders’ Cup Mile in addition to her Royal Ascot success.

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

Alpha Centauri (2018) – won by six lengths in a new track record time of 1m 35.89s, over a second inside the previous best set

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 (7f 213y).

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

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

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

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

Notable winners 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 Diamond Jubilee Stakes in the same year – the first horse to complete the Royal Ascot sprint double since Diadem in 1920.

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

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

THE WOKINGHAM 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 G1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes.

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

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

Overseas-trained winners (since 1960) Ireland (3) – Boone’s Cabin (1975), Time Machine (1985), Dandy Boy (2012) France (1) – Ratio (DH 2003) Oldest winner (since 1960) Out Do, trained by David O’Meara, became the oldest winner at eight in 2017 Betting (since 1960) Longest-priced winner: 33/1 Red Rosen (1992), Emerging Market (1996), Dandy Boy (2012), Bacchus (2018) Shortest-priced winner: 9/4F Iffraaj (2005) Market leaders: 11 favourites or joint favourites have been successful in the 59 runnings Most successful trainer (since 1960) 3 wins Paul Cole – Calibina (1977), Queen’s Pride (1980), Bel Byou (1987) Most successful jockey (since 1960) 3 wins Willie Carson – Plummet (1973), Great Eastern (1981), Time Machine (1985) Johnny Murtagh – Nice One Clare (2001), Laddies Poker Two (2010), Deacon Blues (2011) Most successful owner (since 1960) 3 wins Benny Schmidt-Bodner – Spaniard’s Mount (1967), Virginia Boy (1970), Whistling Fool (1971)

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

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

Notable winners 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 Handicap. One of the most popular horses of the 20th century, he is commemorated at Ascot by the Brown Jack Handicap, a two-mile handicap run in July.

Sprowston Boy (1987) – Gay Kelleway made headlines when partnering Sprowston Boy to glory, becoming the first female jockey to succeed at Royal Ascot.

Simenon (2012) - talented dual-code performer who completed the Ascot Stakes/Queen Alexandra double; went down by a neck to Estimate in the 2013 Gold Cup and also finished fourth in the same race in both 2014 and 2015.

Pallasator (2018) – gave top Irish trainer Gordon Elliott, who concentrates on Jump racing, his second Queen Alexandra Stakes victory – the first was Commissioned in 2016. Nine-year-old Pallasator established a track record of 4m 45.24s.

Cecil achieved the feat in 1987 when the Royal Meeting consisted of four days and 24 races, while O’Brien’s seven came in 2016 over five days and 30 races.

The late Sir Henry Cecil achieved 75 Royal Ascot winners and held the record before Sir Michael Stoute equalled that total in 2016 and then passed it in 2018.

Among current trainers, Aidan O’Brien has topped the table on 10 occasions, with Sir Michael Stoute achieving six annual accolades, Saeed bin Suroor four, and Mark Johnston two.

NB: In some years, the winner was decided on the number of placed horses.

The previous best total of eight since 1945 was achieved by Lester Piggott in 1965 and 1975 and Pat Eddery in 1989 when Royal Ascot took place over four rather than the current five days. Royal Ascot expanded to five days in 2002. The best ever score by a jockey at Royal Ascot is 12, set by Fred Archer in 1878.

Among current jockeys, two are dominant – Ryan Moore has topped the table eight times in the last 10 years, while Frankie Dettori, as ever happy at his favourite racecourse, has been the Royal Ascot champion six times.

Two female riders have been successful at Royal Ascot – Gay Kelleway in 1987 on Sprowston Boy in the Queen Alexandra Stakes and Hayley Turner in 2019 on Thanks Be in the Sandringham Handicap. Joanna Morgan became the first female jockey to ride at Royal Ascot in the 1978 Queen’s Vase on Gallowshill Boy, who finished ninth.
