Ascot: Yesterday’s Results
Key points
On Good (Chase) / Good to Firm (Hurdle) ground at Ascot yesterday there were seven competitive races and a number of notable takeaways. Media Mogul (9/4) produced a strong late move to land the Grundon Novices’ Handicap Hurdle after Outmaster was declared a non-runner; Vanderpoel (4/1) confirmed his stamina and held on in the Sodexo Live! Handicap Chase despite drifting left in the closing stages; Viroflay (3/1) dug deep to prevail in the Premier Regal Encore handicap; and Saint Argente (2/1) finished best to win the Colts & Fillies’ Club NH Flat Race. Boothill was withdrawn on veterinary advice and Jour d’Evasion fell at the last in the 14:00, both incidents affecting the shape of their races. Overall the meeting produced tight finishes and a number of trainers and jockeys in good form.

Racecourse Guide
Founded in 1711 by Queen Anne, Ascot is Britain’s and arguably the world’s most famous racecourse. Although the Berkshire course plays host to a number of top-class National Hunt fixtures, it is on the Flat that it has earned its reputation worldwide with the Royal Meeting in June providing five days of the best racing anywhere on the planet. The combination of the quality of racing, stunning fashion and Royal Processions that take place on each of the five days, stands this meeting apart from any other. A galloping, right-handed track, Ascot provides a stiff test for horses, which can become exceptionally testing in soft ground, especially on the jumps course, which hosts such races as the Clarence House Chase and Ascot Chase.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
For a finer, premium experience there are plenty of hospitality options available. On normal Ascot racedays you can dine in ON 5, the Parade Ring Restaurant or The Vista. However, for Royal Ascot, there are multiple restaurants to choose, depending on which enclosure you are in:
Royal Enclosure:
- The Veranda
- The Sandringham
- Parade Ring
- Wyndham Club
- Windsor Forest
- Trackside
- Panoramic
Queen Anne Enclosure:
- On 5
- The Gallery
- The Furlong
- The Lawn Club
- Pavilion
Village Enclosure:
- Restaurant In The Village
If you’re part of a bigger group and are looking for a bit more privacy the racecourse also offers private boxes or loges for hire. The loges offer a private space for groups and offer exemplary views of the racing. There are three different options to choose from in the Private Boxes (Silver, Gold + Platinum), whilst there are also different options available for Royal Ascot.
Tickets
There are two different enclosures to choose from at Ascot, the Queen Anne Enclosure and the King Edward VII Enclosure. The former is the cheaper option, with the latter having access to premier bars and restaurants. Both enclosures offer excellent viewing angles for the racing. A Winning Post Enclosure also opens on selected big racedays, such as King George Day and British Champions Day.
During Royal Ascot, there are four different enclosure to choose from:
- Royal Enclosure
- Queen Anne Enclosure
- Village Enclosure
- Windsor Enclosure
The Royal Enclosure is the most prestigious, with the Queen Anne Enclosure also a formal option. The Village and Windsor enclosures have more of a relaxed atmosphere.

The Effect of the Draw
It used to be thought that low numbers were best on the straight course whatever the ground, but that’s no longer true. The draw doesn’t make a lot of difference on the round course, except in races with big fields, where high numbers are best. Increasingly in big field handicaps on the straight course, the winner will come from where the pace is in the race, over any defining draw biases.
