King's Stand Stakes

One of the performances of the meeting as Aussie champion Scenic Blast powered down the centre of the track to land this first leg of the Global Sprint Challenge.

Coventry Stakes

One of the most impressive performances by a two-year-old for many years; Canford Cliffs earnt his place as the favourite for next year's 2000 Guineas with a stunning six-length triumph.

Queen Mary Stakes

American super-filly Jealous Again powered to an awesome five-length front running victory in an orgy of speed under John Velazquez.

Coronation Stakes

English 1000 Guineas heroine Ghanaati smashed the course record for Ascot's round mile, striding home under Richard Hills in really impressive fashion.

Battle of the Booth

Congratulations go to Sean Boyce who triumphed in a war of attrition for the Royal Ascot Battle of the Booth thanks to lumping on Caracciola in the very last race of the meeting.

Gordon Brown, ATR Presenter
Drill Sergeant (Duke of Edinburgh Stakes, 5.00 Saturday)
This horse was kept busy in Dubai during the winter and has been a model of consistency since. Apart from a good level of form in top handicap, Listed and Group company, my main reason for tipping him is that Mark Johnston told me to!
