Royal Ascot Betting 2010
The Royal Ascot 2010 meeting will get underway on Tuesday June 15 running through until Saturday June 19 with five days of action packed flat racing set to take place. The Royal Ascot Gold Cup will take centre stage on Thursday afternoon, with the Coronation Stakes and Golden Jubilee Stakes following on the Friday and Saturday offering plenty of top class Royal Ascot Betting 2010 prospects.
The five day festival is the centrepiece of Ascot’s year and is one of the world’s most famous meetings dating back to the early part of the 18th century. As ever, The Queen will be in attendance arriving in her horse-drawn carriage before the first race of each day and the meeting will be covered by the BBC.
A total of 16 Group races will be contested over the course of the five days with at least one Group 1 race per day and prize money in excess of £3,000,000 up for grabs. Not to mention the many millions that will be won and lost from Royal Ascot Betting 2010.
