GBI Team Europe Team Rest of the World Team The Girls Team The six races are limited to 10 runners with either two or three horses racing for each team (this balances itself out over the course of the afternoon). Points are awarded on a 15, 10, 7, 5, 3 basis to the first five horses home (non-runners score 4 points). Subject to full fields, each jockey has five rides. This is to ensure that in the event of an injury, there is a spare jockey on each team who can assume mounts. The team with the highest total after the sixth race lifts the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup. The jockey amassing the most individual points will take home an additional £3,000 plus the Alistair Haggis “Silver Saddle” trophy. All six races are handicaps and all will be run with identical prize money - £45,000 per race. There are two reserves per race, who can be utilised up to 45 minutes before each contest is run. Owners have a fantastic opportunity on Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Day - there are no entry fees for the races, there is prize money down to last place (with reserves that miss out on a run paid £500 appearance money). There is also complimentary hospitality for owners throughout the day. Dubai Duty Free has been associated with the Shergar Cup since its inception, initially as team sponsor of the Rest of the World team and as a race sponsor. In 2006, the company became title sponsor for the first time and, since 2014, has sponsored the entire event. The Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup is being run for the 18th time at Ascot. The Shergar Cup first took place at Ascot in 2000 as a jockeys’ competition. It has gone from strength to strength ever since, attracting bumper crowds year after year. The event did not take place in 2005 because the racecourse was being redeveloped. The jockeys competing in the four-team Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup will again wear full team colours at this year’s renewal. Please see the jockeys’ biographies section (pages 10-17) for further information about this year’s team colours. Female and male cheerleaders will welcome the winning rider back after each race and be part of the opening and closing ceremonies. Each team will have an anthem for the day, played whenever they have a winner - GB&I: The Boys Are Back in Town; ROW: Rockin All Over The World; GIRLS: Sisters Are Doing It for Themselves; EUR: Ca Plane Pour Moi. Bet With Ascot is offering an overall team bet and a Silver Saddle/Top Jockey bet. 3 All six races will be broadcast live on ITV4 and by Racing UK. The competition remembers Shergar, who won the 1981 Derby at Epsom Downs by the record margin of 10 lengths. Away from the track, the racing will be followed by the ever-popular Party In The Paddock. Rita Ora headlines this year's concert and she will be joined by Example + DJ Wire plus Soul II Soul. Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills will also perform between sets and into the evening to keep racegoers entertained.

In 2009, Rita signed to Jay-Z's label Roc Nation and gained a breakthrough first number one in 2012 with her debut solo single, R.I.P., while her first album Ora also went straight to the top of the UK album charts later the same year. Having collaborated with Iggy Azalea, Snoop Lion, Charli XCX and Chris Brown in the USA, Rita released her first solo song in almost two years, Your Song in 2017, the first release from her eagerly anticipated second album. In February, 2018, she notched her 12th top-10 song with For You, equalling the record for most 10-ten songs by a British female solo artist. A talented actress and presenter, Rita has appeared in the film adaptation of the hit novel Fifty Shades of Grey and also been a judge on both The X Factor and The Voice. EXAMPLE + DJ WIRE With a UK number one album, two UK number one singles, a festival headliner and a BRIT Award nomination among his many achievements to date, Example has become a household name across Britain, Europe and the US. The Londoner has sold-out tours around the world and is known as one of the best live acts in the business. DJ Wire is credited with playing an instrumental part in the formation of the UK grime scene with the release of his seminal track Believe Me in 2003. He went on to make the crossover into the world of drum & bass in 2006 by securing a residency at east London’s institution Herbal before teaming up with Chase & Status to set up and run MTA Records. It was through Chase & Status that he met Example, producing several tracks on the artist’s Won’ Go Quietly album. The duo have gone on to perform at festivals and club all over the world. SOUL II SOUL Having started out with little more than a sound system and a supermarket trolley, Soul II Soul have grown to become one of the UK’s most successful and innovative groups of modern times, with album sales of more than 10 million worldwide. Founded in 1988 by Jazzie B, Soul II Soul are best known for their 1989 UK number one Back To Life and Keep On Moving, which reached number five in the charts the same year. The group, recipients of two Grammy Awards in 1990, have performed in over 20 countries and played at some of the most famous venues in the world including Wembley and New York's Universal Ample Theatre. Founding member Jazzie B, who continues to be the driving force of Soul II Soul, was awarded an OBE in 2007 for his services to music. SCOTT MILLS Scott Mills will be hosting the after-racing concert and DJ’ing before and between acts. Scott's BBC Radio 1 show has created some of the most popular radio features ever, from Flirt Divert, Playground Insults and the world famous Innuendo Bingo.

  • CATALOGUE WELCOME to NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS and NAXOS NOSTALGIA, Twin Compendiums Presenting the Best in Vintage Popular Music
    NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS/NOSTALGIA CATALOGUE WELCOME TO NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS AND NAXOS NOSTALGIA, twin compendiums presenting the best in vintage popular music. Following in the footsteps of Naxos Historical, with its wealth of classical recordings from the golden age of the gramophone, these two upbeat labels put the stars of yesteryear back into the spotlight through glorious new restorations that capture their true essence as never before. NAXOS JAZZ LEGENDS documents the most vibrant period in the history of jazz, from the swinging ’20s to the innovative ’40s. Boasting a formidable roster of artists who forever changed the face of jazz, Naxos Jazz Legends focuses on the true giants of jazz, from the fathers of the early styles, to the queens of jazz vocalists and the great innovators of the 1940s and 1950s. NAXOS NOSTALGIA presents a similarly stunning line-up of all-time greats from the golden age of popular entertainment. Featuring the biggest stars of stage and screen performing some of the best- loved hits from the first half of the 20th century, this is a real treasure trove for fans to explore. RESTORING THE STARS OF THE PAST TO THEIR FORMER GLORY, by transforming old 78 rpm recordings into bright-sounding CDs, is an intricate task performed for Naxos by leading specialist producer-engineers using state-of-the-art-equipment. With vast personal collections at their disposal, as well as access to private and institutional libraries, they ensure that only the best available resources are used. The records are first cleaned using special equipment, carefully centred on a heavy-duty turntable, checked for the correct playing speed (often not 78 rpm), then played with the appropriate size of precision stylus.

  • Top Jockey, Trainers and Owner Awards up for Grabs at Royal Ascot
    TOP JOCKEY, TRAINER AND OWNER AWARDS UP FOR GRABS AT ROYAL ASCOT 15th June 2020 Awards for leading jockey, trainer and owner will once again be distributed at this year’s Royal Ascot. Frankie Dettori claimed the QIPCO Leading Jockey Award at the Royal Meeting in 2019 with seven victories, thanks largely to a superb four-timer on day three. The 49-year-old looks set to have another excellent book of rides this year as he aims for a seventh title at the meeting. With Jamie Spencer sidelined through injury, Ryan Moore is the only other jockey riding this week to be previously crowned top jockey at Royal Ascot, having claimed the most recent of eight meeting titles in 2018. Due to the protective measures in place this week, there will be no transferable armband for the leading jockey throughout the meeting. Aidan O’Brien received the QIPCO Royal Ascot Leading Trainer Award for a 10th time in 2019 and looks to have his string in top form once again. Other previous winners who will be hoping to have a good week include Sir Michael Stoute, John Gosden, Mark Johnston and Saeed bin Suroor. Paul Cole, who was leading trainer at Royal Ascot in 1994, will aim to create history by becoming the first British-based trainer with a joint-licence to win at the meeting, having gone into partnership with his son Oliver at the start of the season. Simon and Ed Crisford, another father and son combination, will also be looking to saddle the ground-breaking first.

    SATURDAY, 26 JUNE 2021 DEFINING MOMENT EFTBA AT THE FOREFRONT OF EASING MARE MOVEMENTS By Emma Berry The 2021 breeding season was hit by the perfect storm of ongoing Covid travel restrictions and the end of the transition period that meant Britain's exit from the European Union is now complete. Brexit has been a thorn in the industry's side for five years. For those in Britain who were opposed to it, it has long been considered a gratuitous act of economic self-harm for the country, but the damage done is not restricted to that island. Brexit has affected modes of operation for untold businesses within neighbouring European countries, and it has destroyed what has for more than 40 years helped to maintain a largely disease-free European Thoroughbred breeding herd: the Tripartite Agreement (TPA). Increased red tape surrounding equine transportation between the UK and the EU post-Brexit, not to mention the High Definition (Ire) | racingfotos.com uncertainty of potential delays at the borders, has led to a decrease in the movement of breeding stock of more than 60% How High Definition (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) would have fared at this year among the former TPA countries. Cont. p4 Epsom will forever be the stuff of conjecture, but Saturday sees Ballydoyle=s TDN Rising Star return to his safe hunting ground of The Curragh to prove his worth in the G1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby. Renowned for his trademark late flourish at two, he swooped from rear to collar Wordsworth (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) on debut over a mile here in August before repeating the trick in the G2 Beresford S.
