Royal Ascot is a British institution and a focal point of the British social and racing calendar. This year will be even more special as the race meeting celebrates it 300th year offering 5 days of fantastic racing, beginning this year on June 14th 2011.
With over £3,500,000 in prize money, we can expect the quality of racing to be outstanding, encompassing 18 group races over the 4 day race meeting. Each day will follow the same format, whit the first race of the day kicking off at 2.30 and the last race at 5.35. The Royal Procession takes place every afternoon at 2.00.
Many of the big races will be broadcast live in the UK on terrestrial TV channels, BBC and Channel 4. If you are at work or out of the country and would like to watch all the racing action on your iPhone or iPad, you can now do so thanks to some free live horse racing streams.
