Royal Ascot is one of the highlights of the flat racing season and punters can enjoy five exhilarating days of action at the Berkshire track.
The meeting gets underway on Tuesday 17th June 2025 and there are four Group One races across the card, with the Queen Anne Stakes kicking things off while National Hunt champion Willie Mullins will have leading claims in the two staying races.
Day 2 looks an absolute cracker, with horse racing betting odds looking competitive ahead of one of the races of the week – the Prince of Wales’s Stakes. Keep an eye out for the latest declarations and entry news on the William Hill blog.
Thursday is Ladies Day and the champagne will be flowing throughout the day. The Ascot Gold Cup takes centre stage and Aidan O’Brien has a strong hand in the race, even in the absence of two-time winner Kyprios.
We’ve got two Group Ones and three tasty handicaps on Friday at Royal Ascot and there is plenty of prize money up for grabs, with the £650,000 Commonwealth Cup attracting entries from around the world.
Last but not least, we have Day 5 and the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes is the joint-most lucrative race of the week, with a total prize pot of £1,000,000. The race is worthy of a Saturday feature slot and the supporting card isn’t bad either.
