Up to 300,000 spectators are set to pack into the iconic Berkshire course, with it being the first since King Charles became monarch. The new King has given his blessing to the renaming of Saturday’s feature race to being Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes in honour of his late mother.
His Majesty is set to attend alongside the Queen Consort as one of the highlights of the British sporting and social calendar takes place over the course of five days.
The weather is set to be stunning, with an extended schedule of 36 races as horses from around the world arrive to compete at the richest festival in racing.
The prize fund for the week is set to rise to £9.25 million, with each Group 1 race during the event now set to be worth at least £600,000.
Sadly, Mawj has been taken out of the Coronation Stakes, meaning there’s no rematch with Tahiyra (4:20pm) just yet. Now, the Irish 1,000 Guineas winner is the headline act. The day’s other Group 1 is all about speed in the Commonwealth Cup at 3:05pm. Little Big Bear won the Windsor Castle Stakes at this meeting last year and got back to winning ways at Haydock last month after disappointing in the 2,000 Guineas.
Aidan O’Brien’s speedy colt is up against Lezoo, who won a Group 3 over track and trip last July, and Shaquille, an impressive two-length winner at Newbury last time out.
So don't miss your chance to soak in the excitement of Royal Ascot with your Daily Record including packed 12 page racing pullouts and a FREE £2 shop bet with William Hill every day of the festival.
