Experience the grandeur of the Ascot Gold Cup, a prestigious horse race steeped in history since its inception in 1864. Witness the excitement as jockeys don their colors and mount their steeds, reminiscent of the engravings of The Ascot Plate and Foxhall, ridden by R.A. Jones on Persimmon in 1939. The roar of the crowd echoes through the air, as horses like Thormanby, ridden by Touchstone in 1861, and Bayardo, victorious in 1911, did before them. The track comes alive with the flares of the starting gate, as Cyllene and Bachelors Button, ridden by Winkfield and Milady respectively, vie for the coveted cup. The West Australian, a horse from the early 1850s, and the legendary Bayardo, both etched in history, add to the rich tapestry of this iconic event. Let the thrill of the race transport you back in time, as you witness the timeless beauty and excitement of the Ascot Gold Cup.
