Royal
Ascot

No other event in Flat racing can match the history, pageantry and intensity of competition of Royal Ascot.

The first race meeting ever held at Ascot was in August, 1711, while the first four day meeting took place in 1768. The Royal Meeting as it is known today started to take shape with the introduction of the Gold Cup in 1807.

Permanently expanded to include 35 races in 2021, there are now eight Group 1 races across five days of racing and a total of 22 Pattern or Listed level events throughout the week.

Royal Ascot’s racing programme arguably features the highest concentration of equine talent seen at any meeting across the world.

In their first season in partnership in 2021, John and Thady Gosden were leading trainer at the Royal Meeting, an accolade that John Gosden had claimed twice before, in 2012 and 2020.

John and Thady have enjoyed many memorable days at Royal Ascot and Clarehaven has sent out the winner of the meeting’s feature event, the Gold Cup, four times, as well as winners of the Prince of Wales’s Stakes (x5), the St James’s Palace Stakes (x3) and the Coronation Stakes (x3).

On his own and in partnership with Thady, John Gosden has trained 64 winners at the Royal Meeting.
