Ascot — Results from 25 July 2026
Ascot served up a high-quality card on 25 July 2026 on Good to Firm ground (watered). The big news came in the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes where Kalpana landed the Group 1 under Colin Keane for Andrew Balding, while Moonrise and Kon Tiki took the Group 3 prizes in the Princess Margaret Japan Cup and Longines Valiant Stakes respectively. Across the afternoon there were strong front-running displays — Never Enough made all in the Dentakay EBF Crocker Bulteel Maiden and All Ways Glamorous dictated terms to win the Whispering Angel Handicap.
The going read: GOOD TO FIRM (Watered; Straight – Stands’ side 8.5, Centre 8.3, Far side 8.2; Round 6.6). Two horses were withdrawn on veterinary grounds: Akkadian Thunder (Moet & Chandon International Handicap) and Desert Cop (Whispering Angel Handicap) both reported off with vet’s certificates.
Notable performances
- Kalpana (Andrew Balding / Colin Keane) produced a decisive late move to turn the King George to her advantage, edging clear inside the final furlong to win by 1½ lengths.
- Moonrise (Andrew Balding / Oisin Murphy) showed grit to lead approaching 2f out and cling on to deny Dee’s Funny Girl by a neck in the Group 3 Princess Margaret.
- Kon Tiki (Jane Chapple-Hyam / Ryan Moore) asserted over 1f out in the Longines Valiant to score comfortably in the fillies & mares Group 3.
- Never Enough (Ed Walker / William Buick) made all from the front in the confined maiden and ran on well to score on debut.
- Amazing Journey (Jamie Osborne / Saffie Osborne) took the Moet & Chandon Heritage Handicap with a strong late stride, beating Two Tribes close home.

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 four 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. There are two restaurants to choose from on normal Ascot racedays – ON 5 restaurant and the Parade Ring Restaurant. 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
- The Old Press Room
- Wyndham Club
- Windsor Forest
- Holyroodhouse
- Trackside
- Panoramic
Queen Anne Enclosure:
- On 5
- The Gallery
- The Furlong
- The Lawn Club
- Pavilion
- Old Paddock
Village Enclosure:
- Restaurant In The Village
- The Villiers Club
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 up to 15 people 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.
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.
