Flat and National Hunt
A right-handed course of about fourteen furlongs with a steady uphill rise from Swinley Bottom, Ascot is one of the finest courses in the country under both codes. The standard of racing here is invariably high, with the Royal Meeting in June dominating the calendar and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes in July and the Festival of British Racing in September, featuring the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, providing top class sport. The jumping course is inside the Flat track and was the scene of Arkle's last victory in the SGB Chase in December 1966. Ascot is also the venue for regular bloodstock sales which are at the bargain basement end of the market - but nonetheless mant aspiring racehorse owners have picked up real bargains here.
Major races: Flat- King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes, Gold Cup, St James's Palace Stakes, Coronation Stakes, Royal Hunt Cup, Wokingham Stakes, King's Stand Stakes, Queen Elizabeth II Stakes Fillies' Mile, Royal Lodge Stakes, Victoria Cup.
Jumps - Victor Chandler Chase, Long Walk Hurdle, Betterware Cup
Celebrations: The Inn at West End. Just a couple of miles from junction 3 of the M3 is a modern dining pub for racehorse owners who really enjoy their food and drink (Tel 01276 858652).
The Olde Red Lion at Oakley Green, a very popular pub at weekends, is 4 miles from junction 8 of the M4. Rooms are also available to overnight here (01753) 863892.
