Moore the Merrier!:

The first day comes to a close with Ryan Moore leading the way with 3 wins, leaving Frankie Dettori disappointed. Moore seems to have secured the title of top jockey for the week, especially with his victory in the St James’s Palace Stakes with Paddington. This win also made Aidan O’Brien the most successful trainer in Royal Ascot history. And guess what? O’Brien and Moore have the favorite, Luxembourg, in tomorrow’s Prince Of Wales’s Stakes. Dettori also has a couple of strong contenders. Get ready for round two!

Ryan Moore celebrates his victory in the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Copper Horse Stakes (6.10pm) Preview:
Another thrilling race to end the day, with Vauban, a promising horse from the Willie Mullins stable, returning to the Flat after a successful run over hurdles. Despite the strong competition, Vauban looks well-weighted with a mark of 101. However, the shorter 14-furlong trip could pose a challenge. Another contender to consider is Charlie Appleby’s Ruling Dynasty, a four-year-old with a strong pedigree and an opening mark of 97.

Selection: Ruling Dynasty

Wolferton Stakes (5.35pm) Preview:
This year’s Wolferton Stakes features a strong field, with a mix of up-and-coming horses, established performers, and former Grade One winners. The race is also significant for Saga, the horse ridden by Frankie Dettori in the royal silks. Keep an eye out for Buckaroo, who narrowly missed out on a win in the Group One Prix D’Ispahan. Francesco Clemente, who suffered his first defeat at Goodwood, and Cadillac, a previous runner-up in this race, are also worth considering.

Selection: Cadillac
