Royal Ascot, is big on my bucket list. As an avid thoroughbred aficionado, I would love to watch The Sport Of Kings, at Ascot Racecourse, in Berkshire, England. The Royal Meeting kicks off Tuesday. I can not attend this year but several American entries will race at Royal Ascot and we can all enjoy them, from wherever we may be.
Thirty five races are scheduled over the five day Ascot meet, from 6/20 through 6/24/23. FanDuel TV and NBC (NBC Sports/Peacock) will offer live and streaming coverage to catch them all. Seven races per day will begin every day at 9:30 AM ET ( 1:10 PM in England) and end at 2:30 PM ET ( 6:10 PM in England). Eight races are Group 1 and least ten United States regulars are hopeful to contend.
- Tuesday (6/20/23), the races begin with The G1 Queen Anne Stakes at 9:30 AM ET. Modern Games, having raced twice at at my home track, Keeneland, will look to win again. Then, at 10:40 AM ET, plan to watch the Group 1, King’s Stand Stakes. Twilight Gleaming, having raced four times at Keeneland, will go for international glory.
- Wednesday(6/21/23), will feature five thoroughbreds, that call the United States home. Cynane, Crimson Advocate and Bundchen all face off in the G2, Queen Mary Stakes at 9:30 AM ET. That same day, at 11:20 AM ET, Classic Causeway will post in the G1 Prince Of Wales Stakes. Then, at 1:10 PM ET, watch Fandom race in the Windsor Castle Stakes. Crimson Advocate, Bundchen, Fandom and Classic Causeway, have all raced at Keeneland.
- Thursday (6/21/23), enjoy the G2 Norfolk Stakes, at 9:30 AM ET, with both No Way Mets and American Rascal. American Rascal won his first and only career start at Keeneland.
- Saturday (10/24/23), do not miss Big Invasion, in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at 10:40 AM ET.
I would be chuffed to see the American raced horses perform well at Ascot. Is anyone going or already living Across The Pond a regular follower of Throughbred U? Thank you and all are welcome.
