Ascot Racecourse
World Famous, Ascot back in the saddle for 2006 after completing extensive renovations to the Berkshire racecourse, which started in 2004.
Royal Ascot
One of the most prestigious and celebrated fixtures in the racing calendar is Royal Ascot. Dating back to the Gold Cup race of 1807 it is five days of history and tradition, fashion and style, pageantry and heritage and arguably the World's greatest horse racing. 2007 marked the 200th anniversary of the Gold Cup.
Ladies’ Day
Gold Cup day remains the feature race of the third day of Royal Ascot, known as "Ladies’ Day" where fashion and style are almost as important as the racing.
