Royal Ascot 2023 preview
One of the highlights of the British sporting summer calendar is upon us, as the world's best flat race horses descend on Berkshire this week for Royal Ascot.
From the meeting's opening Queen Anne Stakes to the day five Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, there are eight Group 1 races spread across the meeting's five days.
Synonymous with illustrious horse racing legends such as Frankie Dettori, Lester Pigott, Steve Cauthen, as ever, Thursday's Gold Cup remains Ascot's Blue Riband feature race.
Dettori, 52, who will retire later this year, rides at Royal Ascot for the final time. Look out for him on Chaldean in the St James's Palace Stakes on day one.
The historic two-and-a-half mile endurance test coincides with Ladies Day, the meeting's traditional display of high fashion and millinery masterpieces from racegoers.
This year's Gold Cup favourite is six-year-old Coltrane, with the Andrew Balding trained winner of last year's Ascot Stakes leading the betting ahead of last year’s St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov.
Willie Mullins will meanwhile be hoping to become the first ever trainer to win the Cheltenham and Royal Ascot Gold Cups in the same year, with his hopes of achieving the unprecedented feat resting on outside bet Echoes In Rain.
