Royal Ascot
Scheduled: June 17, 2008
This is another top class British Horse racing Group 1 event which takes place, every year during June, at the Ascot Racecourse in Ascot, Berkshire, England.
The race first began in 1711 and its most important race is the Ascot Gold Cup which welcomes participants of four-years of age and above.
The race track distance covers 2 miles 4 furlongs or 4,023 meters and the winner purse is of £2,250,000.
In June 2005, while the Ascot Racecourse was closed for a structure redevelopment, the Royal Ascot was temporarily moved to York Racecourse.
The Ascot Gold Cup is part of the British Stayers’ Triple Crown, along with the Doncaster Cup and 2 miles Goodwood Cup.
During history the jockey who has achieved more wins at this race is Lester Piggot.
