Ascot Stakes Overview
The Ascot Stakes is a flat handicap race that takes place annually at Royal Ascot. It is contested over a distance of 2 miles, 3 furlongs, and 210 yards at Ascot Racecourse. The race is open to horses that are aged four years and older.
The race is considered one of the toughest in betting due to flat and National Hunt trainers competing against each other. It is one of the longest races in the calendar so it’s a favourite for stayers.
One of the most fascinating aspects of this race is that horses often go on to compete in races at the Cheltenham Festival after running in this race. There have also been Ascot Gold Cup winners who first cut their teeth in this race earlier in their careers.
