Royal Ascot 2023 - 2025 - Thoroughbred Horse Racing and Breeding Forums

The Gp1 Ascot Gold Cup has been won by Courage Mon Ami (4g Frankel x Crimson Ribbon, by Lemon Drop Kid) who defeated Coltrane & Subjectivist.

Courage Mon Ami has now won all of his 4 starts.

Frankie Dettori seems to be luv winning all the long distance races. Has had a problem with the Melbourne Cup in the past though!

Aussie owned quinella in R5 at Royal Ascot. Pretty unusual.

Frankie Dettori won for the 80th time at the Royal meeting in the G3 2YOF Albany Stakes with Porta Fortuna (Caravaggio - Too Precious by Holy Roman Emperor).

Yes, an amazing performance and here's the video with the start with Shaquille sleeping at the start.

The Gp2 King Edward VII Stakes has been won by King Of Steel (3c Wootton Bassett x Eldacar, by Verglas) who defeated Continuous by more than 3 lengths with Artistic Star 3rd. King Of Steel is a huge horse & still quite green. You would think the best is yet to come!

The Gp1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes has been won by Khaadem (7g Dark Angel x White Daffodil, by Footstepsinthesand) who defeated Sacred & Highfield Princess. Artorius was 4th, The Astrologist 5th & Cannonball lost his jockey at the start.

I remember big things were expected of Khadeem when he won the Goodwood Stewards Cup back in 2019 but he has mainly been disappointing since. However, he won the Gp2 King George Stakes at Glorious Goodwood last July. These were his damline details at the time:-

Khadeem was ridden by Jamie Spencer who rode Artorius last year.

Yeah 80-1 shot (bigger odds on other betting markets) wins the G1 Jubilee Stakes (1207m WFA).

5 Days of top notch racing , weather , gardens and flowers , roses , drink , food , what more could you ask for ? LOL

what about getting rid of the archaic way they start that flag waving crap signaling the start ! Cry

2 years in a row now riderless horse charging down the straight in such a prestigious race , a lot of Money is invested by connections to take part ! not good enough British racing ! of course it doesn't bother the longer distance racing because they crawl , so getting left a length or 3 is immaterial , but 5 or 6 furlongs it's vital , his vision towards the furthest gates is skewed by the angle , take him further back , and get a experienced man behind the gates to give the " all clear " then hit the button , last years photo of Nature Strip winning was spoilt by one thing , another riderless horse ! .... of my soap box . Wink

Race 1 at Royal Ascot...the G2 3100m race....proper staying event run at a good clip...close finish too..if that doesn't people excited then I don't know what will..

Apparent overkill imo. Support the increase in distance but wonder about some of the other pre-conditions.
