UK Horse Racing Tips

Royal Ascot is the centrepiece of what is a racing festival considered by many to be the most glamorous and stylish race meetings in the world. Perfectly timed after the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee we get to continue the celebrations with five days of world class racing action. The Ascot course has close links with the royal family, and as such it’s likely the punters and royals alike will be looking forward to the 6 furlong Group One Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot on June 23.

Royal Ascot is a rare opportunity to enjoy the spectacle of top class racing. Many are looking forward to watching the Peter Moody trained, undefeated Black Caviar run in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes (Saturday). She’s the fastest racehorse in the world and is likely to be priced in Usain Bolt territory.  Others will be excited to see Ortensia race. Let’s also get forget that Royal Ascot is about the fashion dos and occasional don’t. There’s something for everyone at this must attend, or at least must watch event.

Ones to watch: Black Caviar, Ortensia and last but not least Frankel in the Queen Anne Stakes (Tuesday). Why not check out odds for other big events such as the 2013 Cheltenham Festival too.
