Royal Ascot 2022

There's a discussion on ITV that the Queen will hopefully make it to Ascot on Thursday, for the Gold Cup.

His jockey, Irad Ortiz Jr, is the best in the US but this is his Ascot debut and he will have to adapt quickly. Nature Strip has lost at short odds on a few occasions and there is a feeling not only that it needs to fall right for him these days but that Covid caused him to miss the boat for this trip when he was at his imperious best two years ago. It would be the shock of the summer were he to lose his unbeaten tag. But the King’s Stand is no foregone conclusion; so often when a race is billed as a match, something else turns up to spoil the tea and scones for two. But for as many who have won, plenty of others have got to the furlong pole, taken a deep breath and started treading water. A spokesman for Ascot said: “We’re prepared, which is why it is included in the schedule of events. The Queen is hoping to have about 10 runners this week starting with Kings Lynn in the King’s Palace Stakes (3.40) today. Home-trained horses would appear to be there only to pick up the pieces should the two international guests go too fast and cut each other’s throats – a not-impossible scenario. If you want to know why then take a look at how the four-year-old, and top-rated horse in the world, won the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes last year. It has become a major part of the meeting’s pomp and pageantry. This year’s Royal Ascot begins with a bang as unbeaten four-year-old colt BAAEED bids to cement his claim as the best racehorse in the world and win his fourth consecutive Group 1 contest. It has, nevertheless, been included in the racecard’s time table of events for 2.00, as usual, every day.

The podium horses from the Lockinge once again enter the picture when it comes to the minor medals, but Order Of Australia is capable of running above his odds. Betfred spokesman Matt Hulmes said: “There has been brisk business on the first morning of Royal Ascot, with Juan De Montalban in the lucky last the best-backed horse of the day, halving in price from yesterday’s 8/1. “There are also the romantics amongst us who have latched onto King’s Lynn, wishing for a winner for Her Majesty The Queen this afternoon. I think we'd like to try it and it would be remiss of us not to. The Duchess of Gloucester 3.40pm The King’s Stand Stakes (Group 1) The Duchess of Cornwall 4.20pm The St James’s Palace Stakes (Group 1) I think we're all quite keen to give it a go and that would be at York. 3.05pm The Coventry Stakes (Group 2) 2.30pm The Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) Bookmakers SBK are offering £30 in free bets to new customers when they sign up.
