Royal Ascot Coronation Stakes

The Royal Ascot Coronation Stakes race is the showpiece race of the fourth day at Royal Ascot. The race was first introduced to commemorate the birth of Queen Victoria’s reign as Queen of England way back in 1840.

The Royal Ascot Coronation Stakes is a serious race for individuals connected to flat racing because the prize purse is a standard £250,000 which means a nice little earner for the winning jockey and trainer.

This race is a difficult contest to predict in terms of Horse Racing Betting. The history and money available ensure a high quality field and with the race only being one mile long a lot of the contests are close. Three-year-old fillies weighing nine stones or more can enter this race.

Coronation Stakes Betting

Coronation Stakes betting is currently being dominated by Blue Bunting. Blue Bunting is a Grey Fily with three wins and a second place finish from four races. Blue Bunting does not have a great deal of experience which explains the longer price for this Royal Ascot Betting race.

Moonlight Cloud is another horse that is proving popular in Royal Ascot Betting 2011. This horse is only a point or two longer in Coronation Stakes betting which suggests there is very little difference in quality from Blue Bunting. Moonlight Cloud has performed consistently well over a distance of one mile.

White Moonstone could well end up as the heavily backed Coronation Stakes betting favourite by the time this race takes place. White Moonstone has a one hundred per cent win rate and is a famous horse in the Middle East, where its owner originates from.

Coronation Stakes Value Betting

Coronation Stakes value betting can be found through backing one of the horses just outside the main group of favourites. This is a popular Sports Betting tactic because if one of these horses places there is still good value and a good return to be had from an each way bet.

Theyskens' Theory is an example of Coronation Stakes value betting. This Bay Fily cannot touch the win record of a horse like White Moonstone but there is a classic performance in there. The owner of this horse has kept the animal in good condition and seems to have resisted the temptation to over run the three-year-old which gives Theyskens' Theory a solid chance of an upset.

Memory is a horse with a good chance of winning this race. This horse is an example of Coronation Stakes value betting because three wins have come from five races. All of these races have been over similar distances which prove consistency and hints at a great running style.

Coronation Stakes Outside Betting

Coronation Stakes outside betting is always a popular sports betting field for the punters each time Royal Ascot comes round. The Shrew is a horse that has struggled in big races in the past which has created a long price but a 33 per cent win rate suggests this horse should be in the running. The Shrew is one of many examples of good Coronation Stakes outside betting.
