Fix this textROYAL ASCOT, SOCIAL EVENT OF THE SPORTING CALENDAR
Fix this textRACECOURSES in England, unlike those in most other lands, are spread
Fix this textover the whole country so that wherever the racing enthusiast may be,
Fix this textfrom the apple orchards of Devonshire in the west to the hop gardens of
Fix this textKent in the east, from the English Channel in the south to the Scottish
Fix this textBorderland, he will be no more than an hour's journey from a racecourse.
Fix this textEvery year the flat-racing season opens on the last Monday of March
Fix this textwith a meeting at Lincoln, and continues every week-day throughout the
Fix this textfollowing eight months—ending with the November Handicap at Manchester.
Fix this textThe highlights of the flat-racing season are five classic races for three-
Fix this textyear-olds; the “Two Thousand Guineas” and the “One Thousand Guineas,”
Fix this textrun at Newmarket during the First Spring Meeting; the Derby and the Oaks,
Fix this textrun at Epsom at the end of May or beginning of June; and the St. Leger,
Fix this textrun at Doncaster in September.
Fix this textAscot, the richest and the most fashionable race meeting of the year, has.
Fix this texthowever, no classic race. It is like no other race meeting of the year and
Fix this textit attracts the finest horses in the world ; it is one of the Smartest social
Fix this textoccasions of the season and it is an opportunity for the ladies to show what
Fix this texttheir dressmakers have been able to create. A Newmarket Meeting is a
Fix this textbusiness meeting; Ascot, on the other hand, is first of all a social occasion
Fix this textand it produces more pictures in the newspapers of ladies hats and trocKs
Fix this textthan does any other sporting event in the English calendar.
Fix this textAscot was first established in 1711 by Queen Anne, who decided that the
Fix this textlong miles of green heath which lay within the Royal manor of Windsor
Fix this textshould be a racecourse. To-day the ancient turf is as smooth as velvet and
Fix this textthe racecourse is one of the best equipped and still the most fashionable m
Fix this textEngland.
Fix this textThe Ascot Meeting takes place during the third week of June and seven
Fix this textraces are run on each of the four days. Two of the most important are
Fix this textthe Royal Hunt Cup and the Ascot, Gold Cup ; the latter is run over a
Fix this textdistance of 24 miles on terms of weight-for-age. Ascot is always attended
Fix this textby the Royal Family, who, during that week, are in residence at nearby
Fix this textWindsor Castle and on selected days drive up the course to the Royal
Fix this textEnclosure in open carriages drawn by Windsor Greys, ridden by postilions
Fix this textwearing jackets of scarlet and gold. The Royal Procession is an unforgettable
Fix this textsight and in Coronation Year, 1953, H.M. the Queen and the Duke of
Fix this textEdinburgh received a tremendous welcome from the huge crowds assembled
Fix this textalong the course.
