The Ascot Gold Cup is the highlight of Ladies Day (Day 3) and considered by many to be the feature race of the five day long Royal Ascot meeting. Run over a distance of 2 miles 4 furlongs, the Ascot Gold Cup is one of the longest races of the flat season and is a real test of stamina for all the runners.
In recent years, the race has been dominated by the Aidan O'Brien runner, Yeats, who has won the race a record four consecutive times between 2006 and 2009 and then again in 2011.
