The Hong Kong Jockey Club will simulcast four feature race days from Royal Ascot, one of the world’s great race meetings, commencing on Tuesday 19 June.

Racing at Ascot Racecourse in England has more than 300 years of history and its Royal meeting was long since established as one of the most famous events in sporting and social calendars. Over a five-day period, some of the most prestigious Group races and household-name handicaps in world racing will be run. Since the turn of the 21st century, international participation has increased, thereby making Royal Ascot a truly worldwide event.

The meeting commences on Tuesday 19 June, when the G1 King’s Stand Stakes will be one of three top-level contests; the G1 Prince of Wales’s Stakes will take centre stage on Wednesday; the meeting’s traditional feature, the Gold Cup, is the centerpiece on Thursday; and the fixture concludes on Saturday, 23 June when the Diamond Jubilee Stakes will be the Group 1 standout.
