Tuesday 15th June 2021
Royal Ascot kicks off on a Tuesday each year with
six races, three of which are Group 1 races, Queen
Anne Stakes, King's Stand Stakes and St James's
Palace Stakes. Five of the six races are run over
1m2f or less so it's a day for the sprinters and
always proves to be a day full of excitement.
Whether it’s the Queen Anne Stakes in which
Frankel turned in his most sensational
performance in 2012, the King’s Stand Stakes, one
of the world’s most pre-eminent sprint races, or the
St James’s Palace Stakes which attracts horses
that have run in the English, French and Irish 2,000
Guineas, Tuesday is without doubt overowing
with class for the true racing enthusiast.
On Tuesday, anticipation is high, the racecourse
immaculate and for the purist, this is the
unmissable day in the Royal Ascot calendar.
