Horse Racing: Royal Ascot Begins Today


Sol FH. - June 20, 2017

The biggest races in the world and a £6.58 million prize purse kicks off today at 10:00 GMT with six races to open the event.

The Royal Ascot is the biggest horse racing feature in the world and it has branded itself as "Like Nowhere Else." For the next five days and 30 races altogether, it surely will feel like the only place in the world, as the top racehorses, the famed hats, and even members of the Royal Family will descend upon Ascot Racecourse to watch the event that goes hundreds of years.

This year will feature 6 races each of the five race days with eight races rated Group 1, the toughest designation in horse racing. These big stakes on the line will definitely bring out the best of the best with aspirations to leave with the respect, and of course with the big money. One of the aspects of this historic race that makes it so special is the impeccably bourgeoisie dress code. Some online sportsbooks even offer odds on what color the Queen's hat will be. Each race enclosure has its own set of rules and the Royal Enclosure, the hardest to get into, and the one with the most prestigious races is the swankiest.
