CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME Welcome to the final day of the May Racing Weekend.

It has been a thrilling start to the 2022 Flat season with Royal Ascot Trials Day and then the Guineas meeting setting up the season in perfect fashion. The 2,000 Guineas in particular looked to be a really high-class renewal and it will be fascinating to see how the likes of Coroebus, Native Trail and Luxembourg develop as the season progresses.

The feature on today’s card is the £100,000 Tote Victoria Cup, one of several valuable seven furlong handicaps run at Ascot during the season. Last year’s winner River Nymph is bidding to become the first ever dual winner of the race as he lines up again. It is also great to see former Royal Ascot winners Accidental Agent and Chiefofchiefs in the field as well.

Earlier on the card, the Carey Group Buckhounds Stakes is a Listed race over a mile-anda-half that has been known to offer form clues for the Hardwicke Stakes and even the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth QIPCO Stakes later in the summer. Today’s renewal includes the classy Al Aasy for William Haggas while Roger Varian runs Third Realm as he bids for a record fourth win in the race.

Our grateful thanks go to all of our sponsors today for their support including Carey Group, Tote, British European Breeders’ Fund and Dare to Dream Racing.

We are delighted to welcome the winners and runners up from this year’s Royal Ascot Local Schools Art Competition to the racecourse today. They will be presented with their prizes in the parade ring during the afternoon. The competition has been running since 2018 and the winning entries will once again be displayed in the Ascot Heath Tunnel, creating a colourful walkway for Royal Ascot visitors and local residents.

Students will also be invited to choose the best turned out horse in our opening race, the Royal Ascot Local Schools Art Competition Handicap Stakes.

Our next meeting will of course be Royal Ascot in June where we will welcome some of the best horses from across the world for five days of thrilling racing. We hope to see you there.

Yours sincerely,

Sir Francis Brooke Bt. Her Majesty’s Representative & Chairman

1st Race 1.45pm The Royal Ascot Local Schools Art Competition Handicap Stakes

4th Race 3.30pm The British EBF Fillies’ Handicap Stakes

This race is a one mile four furlong handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards. This handicap is for horses rated 76-95. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed.

A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb.

This race is a one mile handicap race for three-year-old fillies’ and mares. The majority of handicaps are designed for horses from with a specific ratings band but this particular race has no rating restrictions attached to it which allows horses with a higher rating to take part. Despite having no rating restrictions attached to it the higher rated horses must still concede weight to their lower rated rivals, which tend to make open handicaps very competitive races.

PAGES 36-38

PAGES 60-65

2nd Race 2.20pm The Carey Group Buckhounds Stakes (Class 1)(Listed Race)

5th Race 4.05pm The Tote Victoria Cup (Class 2 Heritage Handicap)

This one mile and four furlongs contest for three-year-olds and upwards is a Listed race; a race that can only be bettered by a Group 1, 2 or 3 race. Many of the runners in this race will have already shown themselves to be talented and this race provides a perfect medium for them to be tested against a better class of rival before making the jump into a Group race. Initially, the weights are set at 9st for colts and geldings and 8st 9lb for fillies before penalties are awarded to horses that have previously won above a certain level – 3lb for a Listed race victory or 5lb for a Group 3 success.

PAGES 44-46

3rd Race 2.55pm The Jemima Howden Novice Stakes

This five furlongs Novice Stakes is restricted to two-year-olds but in order to take part all of the runners must meet certain conditions. Unlike a maiden, which is restricted to horses yet to record a victory, winning horses which have run in a maximum of six races are eligible to run. Weights are set according to sex before previous winners are allocated penalties depending on the level at which they have been successful.

This race is a seven furlongs heritage handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards. The majority of handicaps are designed for horses from a specific ratings band but this particular race has no rating restrictions attached to it which allows horses with a higher rating to take part. Despite having no rating restrictions attached to it the higher rated horses must still concede weight to their lower rated rivals, which tend to make open handicaps very competitive races, as is always the case with the Victoria Cup. PAGES 68-69

6th Race 4.40pm The Dare To Dream Racing On Facebook Fillies’ Handicap Stakes

This is a six furlongs handicap race for fillies’ and mares aged three-years-old and upwards, which have been rated from 66 to 85. Like all handicaps on today’s card this means that should a horse rated 80 take part they would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 75.

PAGES 72-75

7th Race 5.15pm The Ascot Shop Handicap Stakes

This is a six furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds which have been rated from 61 to 80. Like all handicaps on today’s card this means that should a horse rated 80 take part they would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 75.

21. Weight (stones/pounds) 22. Official BHA Rating The BHA handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring penalties and allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicapped races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change in rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

For novice steeple chasers, their latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

23. Jockey’s name and photo If there is a number next to the name, this indicates that the jockey can claim that amount in weight (lbs) off the stated riding weight.

A SHORT HISTORY ASCOT’S BEGINNINGS Few sporting venues can match the rich heritage and history of Ascot Racecourse.

Over the past 300 years, Ascot has established itself as a national institution; with Royal Ascot becoming the centrepiece of the British social calendar and the ultimate stage for the best racehorses in the world.

THE FIRST RACECOURSE The racecourse was laid out by William Lowen, assisted by a team including a carpenter, a painter, and a racing administrator. The first permanent building was erected around 1794 by a local Windsor builder. Holding 1,650 people, it was used for almost fifty years.

It was Queen Anne in 1711 who first saw the potential for a racecourse at Ascot (in those days called East Cote). Whilst out riding near Windsor Castle she came upon an area of open heath that looked, in her words, “ideal for horses to gallop at full stretch”.

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

THE FIRST RACE MEETING The first race meeting ever held at Ascot took place later that year, on Saturday 11th August. The inaugural event was Her Majesty’s Plate, worth 100 guineas and open to any horse, mare or gelding over six years of age. Each horse was required to carry a weight of 12 stone and the seven runners were all English hunters, rather different to the speedy thoroughbreds that race on the Flat today.

The nature of the contest also bore little resemblance to modern day racing at Ascot.

That race consisted of three separate heats, each four miles long – about the length of today’s Grand National course. The winning horse would have required tremendous stamina, but sadly there is no record of who claimed that first plate.

Queen Anne’s gift to racing, founding the Royal Racecourse, is marked by the tradition of opening Royal Ascot with the Queen Anne Stakes.

A S H O RT H I STO RY

ROYAL ASCOT The precise origins of the Royal Meeting are unclear, as the event evolved from the first four-day meeting that took place in 1768.

The meeting as it’s known today only really started to take shape with the introduction of the Gold Cup in 1807. Royal Ascot was the only race meeting held at Ascot until 1939.

The Gold Cup remains the feature race of the third day of Royal Ascot, traditionally the busiest day of the week, when high fashion and exquisite millinery take centre stage alongside Flat racing’s most elite stayers.

In 2009, Yeats, ridden by Johnny Murtagh and trained by Aidan O’Brien, won his fourth consecutive Gold Cup – a magnificent achievement, and one that Stradivarius just failed to emulate in 2021 having won the previous three renewals.

MANAGING ASCOT Although founded by a Queen and located on Crown property, the administration of Ascot is handled on behalf of the Crown by a representative appointed by the Monarch. Up until 1901, the racecourse was managed on the Sovereign’s behalf by the Master of the Royal Buckhounds. In 1901, Lord Churchill was appointed as His Majesty’s Representative, responsible for running the course and determining entrance to the Royal Enclosure.

The Ascot Authority was established in 1913 by an Act of Parliament, with His Majesty’s Representative becoming Senior Trustee.

Today, as Ascot Authority (Holdings) Limited, Ascot has a formal board chaired by Sir Francis Brooke Bt., who also serves as Her Majesty’s Representative at Ascot.

As an owner and breeder of racehorses, Her Majesty The Queen takes a keen interest in the races, and has had great success with her own horses over the years. The jockeys riding Her Majesty’s horses can be identified by The Queen’s racing colours: purple body with gold braid, scarlet sleeves, and black velvet cap with gold fringe – the same as those of King Edward VII and George IV as Prince Regent.

During Royal Ascot, The Queen traditionally presents the Gold Cup and the Diamond Jubilee Stakes. New versions of these trophies are made each year and presented to the winners to keep.

Ascot Racecourse closed for a £200 million redevelopment in 2004, and was reopened by Her Majesty The Queen on 20th June 2006.

HIGHLIGHTS AT ASCOT SINCE 2006 There have been several landmark occasions since Ascot Racecourse reopened in 2006 and none more memorable than two special Gold Cup days – when Yeats completed his four-timer of Gold Cup wins in 2009 and when The Queen herself won the stayers’ championship with Estimate in 2013.

In 2011, Ascot celebrated its tercentenary and staged the inaugural QIPCO British Champions Day, now the culmination of the European elite Flat racing season.

The great Frankel won the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champions Day in 2011, and the curtain came down on the career of officially the best horse of all time when he won the Champion Stakes a year later. Sir Henry Cecil’s pride and joy won five of his remarkable unbeaten run of 14 races at Ascot.

2012 also saw Ascot at the heart of the country’s celebrations to mark The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, with the Golden Jubilee Stakes renamed the Diamond Jubilee Stakes and won by the great Australian mare, Black Caviar.

Ascot has continued to cement its reputation as Europe’s premier destination for the best horses in the world. In recent years it is the Americans who have had most success, with Tepin’s win in the 2016 Queen Anne Stakes and Lady Aurelia’s King’s Stand Stakes victory the following year being notable highlights.

The latter filly was trained by Wesley Ward, who has now saddled 12 winners at the Royal Meeting.

It is not just international horses which Ascot is known for, of course. Jockeys also come from all over the world to ride here – perhaps most notably at the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup, a unique fixture in the global racing calendar which each year sees many of world’s top jockeys compete for points to lift racing’s ultimate team prize, with four teams battling it out across a thrilling six-race contest.

While the grandeur of the Royal Meeting takes centre stage each June, Ascot is also renowned for hosting Europe’s premier midsummer middle-distance contest the following month.

The King George VI and Queen Elizabeth QIPCO Stakes has been won by many of racing’s most distinguished champions including Nijinsky, Mill Reef, Dancing Brave, Nashwan, Galileo and - more recently - the remarkable mare Enable, who in July 2020 made history by becoming the first horse to win three renewals of this prestigious prize.

ROYAL ASCOT LOCAL SCHOOLS ART COMPETITION We are pleased to announce the winners of our Royal Ascot Local Schools Art Competition which saw pupils aged 4-14 years from 11 local schools send in their entries which this year focused on a Platinum Jubilee theme.

Winning students won cash prizes of £1,000 for their school, as well as Amazon vouchers to spend on themselves. On the second day of the May Racing Weekend we will be presenting prizes to the winners and runners up plus the schools on the podium.

Since 2018, this community project has provided children and schools in the local area with an opportunity to have their artwork displayed in the Ascot Heath Tunnel, creating a colourful walkway for both Royal Ascot visitors and local residents.

We also asked Ryan Moore, leading flat jockey, to pick his favourite which was Sian Bell’s (age 12 yrs from Charters School) fantastic image of Her Majesty the Queen.

The students will have the honour of choosing the best turned out horse and presenting trophies to winning connections. We are also taking a photograph of all the winners, runners up and teachers from the respective schools on the podium to commemorate this year’s competition which will also join the artwork in the Heath Tunnel.

Draw

HH Trainer excels with older horses and this 5yo, who is lightly raced for his age, may still have more to offer; could build on last month’s reappearance fifth at Kempton (1m3f, AW) and he’s shown promise on grass, but his very best efforts have come on AW so there’s a question to answer today.

HHHH Admirably consistent 7yo who has won twice on the AW this year (both 1m4f) and was also on the scoresheet when back on turf at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; that six-runner race fell apart somewhat but he did it in good style and a 4lb rise isn’t harsh; could be in the mix.

Draw

HHH Something to prove having been below his best on his last three starts, but soft ground may not have suited on his final two runs last season, and he may have needed last month’s reappearance at Musselburgh; well treated judged on several pieces of 2021 form and he’s not discounted.

HHHH Modest 1-16 strike-rate on the Flat but plenty of solid handicap form and, after a stint over hurdles, he went very close at Epsom (1m4f, good) last month on his stable debut; Joe Tizzard has since taken over the licence from father Colin and the yard’s jumpers are in excellent form; could go well.

HHH Made it two wins from her six starts when narrowly making all in a handicap at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; comes out top on RPRs in this field and there’s every chance this Ribblesdale entry will stay this far, but some of the others probably have greater potential.

Draw

HHH 3-13 on AW but officially rated 7lb lower on turf (1-10); conditions shouldn’t be an issue as he gained his sole success on grass over 6f on good to firm ground and he has won after six months off before, but whether he can defy a 537-day absence is another matter; Adam Kirby an interesting booking; worth monitoring in the market.

Draw

HHHH Gradually improving and has won three of his last eight races, over 5f and 6f, the most recent success coming at Yarmouth (good to firm) last month; a 4lb higher mark demands more but he’s still relatively low mileage and not dismissed lightly.

Official BHA Rating 75

Nicola Currie

HH Very dangerous on the pick of his form from last spring which included a 6f win off 10lb higher, but he was out of sorts when last seen in December and needs to have been revived by a break; trainer runs three.

Draw

HHHH Both of last season’s wins came over 5f but he’s just as good at 6f and he arrives after a creditable third over that trip at Windsor (good) last month; usually gives his running and he’s more persuasive than many.

Richard Kingscote

Horse Age: 4 Weight: 9 3 Colours: DARK BLUE and WHITE stripes, PURPLE sleeves, PURPLE and WHITE striped cap.

Form: 413-

HHHH Has a different profile from most of these in that she’s a thrice-raced filly, open to plenty of improvement; won over 7f at Chelmsford in October and she was far from disgraced when third over the same trip at Kempton next time; bred primarily for speed and today’s stiff 6f could be ideal; interesting contender on handicap/turf debut after a break.

Sean Levey

HHH 2-13 for David O’Meara, both wins gained on the AW but probably just as effective on turf; campaigned solely over 7f-1m but has joined a stable (for 20,000gns) that does particularly well with sprinters; worth noting in the market after seven months off.

Draw

HHHHH Not straightforward (can hang left) but he responded well to cheekpieces on his final two starts in 2021, winning over 7f at Chelmsford (AW); just as good on turf and at 6f; the headgear was left off on his reappearance but it’s back on today and Rhys Clutterbuck claims a handy 3lb; possibilities.

HORSE WELFARE At all meetings there is a team of specially qualified vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses.

During each race vets follow the horse by car and can attend a casualty in the same response time as the paramedic teams responsible for human casualties. It is standard practise for screens to be fixed around any horse receiving veterinary treatment. This does not reflect the severity of an injury, just allows the vet some privacy and the patient a calm environment in which to recover. Please do not always assume the worst if you see screens around a fallen horse.

ABANDONMENT POLICY In the event of racing being abandoned, refunds on entrance money and car parks will only be made in the following circumstances: a) Abandonment before the running of the first race – full refund. b) Abandonment before the third or feature race, whichever is later – 50% refund In the event of an abandonment, please apply to the sales manager in writing within three days for a refund.
