Royal Ascot is a five-day horse racing meeting held each June at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, England. Founded in 1711 by Queen Anne, it is one of the best-known events in the British Flat racing calendar and combines elite competition with a long-standing royal tradition. Rather than teams, the field is made up of thoroughbred horses, each partnered by a jockey and prepared by a trainer; owners and racing stables also play important roles. The racecourse features a straight mile and a round course, hosting races over different distances for horses of varying ages and abilities. The meeting’s highlight is the Gold Cup, a prestigious long-distance race traditionally run on Ladies’ Day, now officially known as Gold Cup Day. Other major contests include the Queen Anne Stakes, King Charles III Stakes and St James’s Palace Stakes. Members of the Royal Family customarily attend, and the event is noted for its formal dress code and large crowds. For fans following horse racing results, runners, jockeys and race schedules, Royal Ascot offers a concentrated showcase of top-level British racing.
