Like the horses that run in the races, Royal Ascot has flown by us yet again.  2017 was an incredible year with some astonishing victories on the track.  Here is the full rundown of the results in case you missed it.

Day 1

After weeks of waiting and anticipating, it is finally time for Royal Ascot Horse Racing Festival 2017!  Ready to get betting?  Here is a rundown of the latest news on horses and jockeys that will be running in this year’s Royal Meeting.

If you wanted to get tickets to Royal Ascot horse racing festival 2017 but are bummed because you have realised you will not be able to make it, you may be feeling a bit sore right now.  But cheer up, because you can bet on Royal Ascot online.  And actually, there are some benefits to doing so!  Let’s check them out.

Frankie Dettori is on top of his game these days.  With 56 winners at the Royal Meeting over the years, he is currently the most successful jockey in Royal Ascot.  Unfortunately, he was thrown off his horse in the parade ring Tuesday at Yarmouth, just a week before the start of Royal Ascot, which kicks off on June 20^th 2017.

The Queen was scheduled to deliver the Queen’s Speech to Parliament on June 19^th.  But because of the result of the UK snap election that led to a hung parliament, it is entirely possible that the speech will be delayed.  Basically, the speech may interfere with her scheduled appearance at Royal Ascot.  Because of this, she may end up postponing it until after the Royal Meeting.

If you are learning how to handicap horse races, one of the most important factors you will learn to look at is Form.  Form refers to the physical condition of a horse.  If a horse is in good condition, that horse is said to be “In Form.”  A horse that is in poor condition is “Off Form,” and not a strong contender.  Horses may also round in and out of Form, transitioning up or down (this also tends to result in a transition in Class).
