Ascot’s inaugural meeting of the 2024 Flat season is a top-class affair with important opportunities for horses to gain valuable experience at the track ahead of Royal Ascot.
The seven-race card includes four specific trials for the Royal Meeting, led by the Group 3 Longines Sagaro Stakes, won in recent years by both Coltrane and Estimate en route to Gold Cup glory.
Off the track, this is a leisurely day to socialise, have a flutter and sample the bars and restaurants on offer.
