Kyprios fought back to claim Ascot Gold Cup glory on Thursday, the heavy favourite beating Trawlerman in an epic battle in the meet’s signature event.
A stunning first day of racing opened the festival on Tuesday, kicking off with the Queen Anne Stakes after the Royal processions raised the curtain on the biggest flat meeting in the world. More than 250,000 racegoers are expected across the week.
The sun has even come out after a dramatic change in weather forecast, adding extra shine to a meeting which boasts prize money beyond £10million for the first time.
King Charles and the Queen are expected to attend all five days of the flat racing meet. The King, who earned his first Ascot winner last year with Desert Hero, has five horses running this year.
