14:30 Royal Ascot
Race one of day four begins with seventeen two year old fillies hurtling down the Ascot straight for the Group 3 Albany Stakes run over 6F. The two at the head of the market both seem to have solid claims with the Charlie Appleby trained Mountain Breeze just the pick over the Aidan O’Brien trained Fairy Godmother who won in Group 3 company at Naas last time out. Mountain Breeze is unbeaten in two starts at Newmarket, looking a horse to follow. She impressed when scooting clear of her field last time and even though that form hasn’t worked out she can only beat what’s in front of her and she can take this step up in grade in her stride under William Buick. An outsider who can run well is the Ollie Sangster trained Simmering who went off favourite on her racecourse debut when finishing third at York in a race where the winner, fourth and seventh have all won since.

Albany Stakes Overview

The Albany Stakes is a Group 3 flat race that takes place every year at Royal Ascot. It was first introduced to the Royal Ascot schedule back in 2002. Fillies aged two years are eligible to enter this race. It is run over a short distance of 6 furlongs at Ascot Racecourse.

In the short space of time that the Albany Stakes has been included in the Ascot schedule, it has grown from a Listed race to a Group 3 level race to become a highly-anticipated attraction on the fourth day of action.

The original name of the race was the Henry Carnarvon Stakes, named in honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s racing manager, Henry Herbert, 7th Earl of Carnarvon, who sadly passed away in 2001. The name was changed to the Albany Stakes in 2003 when it changed from being a Listed status race to a Group 3 level.
