Royal Ascot 2023: How to watch horse racing for FREE on TV in UK today

Royal Ascot concludes with a bumper final afternoon headlined by a poignant Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes.

The Chesham Stakes, Jersey Stakes, Hardwicke Stakes, Wokingham Stakes and Golden Gates Stakes are also on the agenda for Saturday, before the famous Berkshire meet closes with the Queen Alexandra Stakes.

Tahiyra claimed victory in Friday’s feature race, the Coronation Stakes, while there was yet more fairytale glory for the soon-to-be retired Frankie Dettori as he bids an amazing farewell to Ascot.

There are 35 races in total across the five days at Ascot, with a memorable week beginning with the traditional royal procession, King Charles' first since ascending to the throne.

Around 300,000 people are set to descend on the Berkshire racecourse across the meet. Here's how you can watch all the action.
