Royal Ascot 2005 running order
Royal Ascot at York will run over five days, from Tuesday 14th to Saturday 18th June 2005, with the running order broadly
mirroring that at Ascot and with the six Group One races remaining in their usual slots. Ascot 2005 running order cont.
The meeting will be run along similar lines to the Breeders' Cup model in the United States in that Ascot will run the
event, working with York as host racecourse, to make this unique occasion a success. Ascot 2005 running order cont.
Tuesday 14th June
A superb programme on the opening day features two Group One contests, the Queen Anne Stakes, won in 2004 by Godolphin's
Refuse to Bend and the St James's Palace Stakes, where Azamour stamped his credentials as a potential champion. From
Brigadier Gerard to Rock of Gibraltar, some of the greatest three-year-old colts have won the St. James's Palace Stakes
and the race traditionally features winners of the early season Classics. Ascot 2005 running order cont.
Wednesday 15th June
The Prince of Wales' Stakes, over one and a quarter miles, forms the centrepiece on Wednesday and is often the scene
for a scintillating clash between the best older horses. This is a race that has produced some great winners in recent
times, including Dubai Millennium, World Champions Fantastic Light and Grandera, Nayef and Rakti in 2004. Ascot 2005 running order cont.
Thursday 16th June
First run in 1807, Thursday's highlight, The Gold Cup is the oldest and most prestigious race of the Royal Meeting
and over the last two centuries has provided the ultimate test for Europe's top stayers. Papineau won the 2004 renewal
in convincing style to become Godolphin's fourth winner of the Blue Ribband since 1996. Ascot 2005 running order cont.
Friday 17th June
Friday includes The Coronation Stakes for three-year-old fillies - often a target for winners of the English, Irish and
French 1,000 Guineas. The record-breaking dual Guineas heroine Attraction was the star of the show in 2004. Ascot 2005 running order cont.
Saturday 18th June
Royal Ascot Saturday provides a great climax to the week, with the sprinters taking centre stage. Fayr Jag won the final
Group One race of the meeting in 2004, the Golden Jubilee Stakes, beating a star-studded international field that
included the French-trained Crystal Castle and Cape of Good Hope from South Africa. Ascot 2005 running order cont.
Finally
Add some of the most competitive handicaps of the season, including the Royal Hunt Cup on Wednesday and the Wokingham
Stakes on Saturday, and you have five days of exhilarating action that is sure to make Royal Ascot 2005
at York another magnificent and memorable occasion.
