Summer has finally arrived – which means the most glamorous event in racing, Royal Ascot, is here. The eyes of the racing world will be firmly fixed on the pinnacle of British horse racing for one of the year’s biggest social events. Five days of non-stop action will see 35 races take place, with the iconic Gold Cup as the centrepiece.
Over 250,000 racegoers are expected to flock to the Berkshire track, which has been the venue for the prestigious event since 1711. A glittering array of celebrities is expected to grace the occasion, which offers unique glitz, glamour, and Royal patronage.
It remains uncertain whether King Charles III, who attended every day of last year’s meeting, and Queen Camilla, will be present to watch any of the horses they own. But The Express will answer all your Royal Ascot queries – including race times – with a record-breaking prize pool of £10million at stake.
