Celebrate 50 Years of Jumps Racing at Ascot for Free This Valentine’S Day CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF JUMPS RACING AT ASCOT FOR FREE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY Event: Ascot Chase Raceday Date: Saturday 14th February Time: Gates open 10.45am. First race at 1.30pm. Venue: Ascot Racecourse, Berkshire, SL5 7JX Admission: Free Tickets: https://tickets.ascot.co.uk/ / 0844 346 3000 This year Ascot celebrates its half-century as a dual-purpose racecourse, the first races on the jump circuit being run as part of a mixed meeting on Friday 30 April 1965, with the ground-breaking Inaugural Hurdle won by the favourite Sir Giles, trained by Fulke Walwyn and ridden by Willie Robinson. Forty minutes later the Kennel Gate Handicap Chase christened the steeplechase fences, with 20-1 outsider Another Scot, trained by Chris Nesfield, upsetting a big field under Tim Norman. The turf upon which the jump course was constructed was not native to Ascot, having been transported the few miles from Hurst Park racecourse in south-west London. When that track closed in 1962, its fixtures and fittings were auctioned lock, stock and barrel and 20 acres of its turf were purchased by the Ascot Authority to landscape the new circuit. Two years later the grass pre-galloped over by generations of jumpers had knitted together and settled sufficiently in its new surroundings to allow racing to take place. Racing’s big names were swiftly in attendance. In October 1965 the great Mill House took on the fleet- footed Dunkirk in the Frogmore Chase over a two-mile trip that was well short of his best, and ran a gallant race to be runner-up. One horse who would prove ideally suited to Ascot’s unique tests was the flamboyantly brilliant grey Desert Orchid, who won three hurdle races and five times over fences at the course. His finest hour at Ascot came in the inaugural running of the Victor Chandler Chase (now run as the Clarence House Chase) in January 1989, a race that will live long in the memories of those who saw it. Ascot’s Flat course had the imperishable battle between Grundy and Bustino as a benchmark for breathless excitement, and in the duel between Desert Orchid and Panto Prince the jump course found its own yardstick. The grey horse was conceding 22lb to his near-black rival and seemed to have matters largely under control until a better jump at the final fence appeared to tilt the definitive initiative to Panto Prince, more so given the comparatively short run-in at Ascot. Yet Desert Orchid would never concede even the most hopeless cause, and hauled himself back to Panto Prince, inch by inch, before pushing his head in front on the line to win by the length of it. In those pre- redevelopment days the final furlong of the jump course was slightly obscured by the frame of the number- board, and those in the packed grandstands peered through the ironwork to better see this most thrilling of finishes. If the speed merchants take centre stage over fences at Ascot, it’s the stayers who hold sway over hurdles, with the Long Walk Hurdle at the December meeting the most prestigious race over the smaller obstacles. This three-mile-plus contest has developed significantly over the years from its earlier incarnation as a handicap, with the victory of the former Champion Hurdle winner Lanzarote in 1975 a watershed for its fortunes. Subsequent winners included the enigmatic Derring Rose, Crimson Embers and Floyd, but the Long Walk evolved into a race for champions only when the outstanding Baracouda put his mark on the honour roll. The French ace won the race three times at Ascot in the early years of the 20th century, his victories generally characterised by the employment of extravagantly patient tactics. He also twice won Ascot’s other big hurdle race, the prosaically monikered Ascot Hurdle at the November meeting that boasts no fewer than four Champion Hurdle winners among its alumni, with this season’s victor Faugheen currently favourite to make it five. Other multiple winners of the Long Walk include the great champion Big Buck’s (although two of his three wins were gained at Newbury, on Ascot’s abandonment) and Reve De Sivola, whose recent tussle with Zarkandar stood comparison with many of the great Ascot races of the past - although perhaps not the aforementioned Desert Orchid-Panto Prince affair. Jump racing is now so commonplace at Ascot as to barely warrant comment, although a dozen years ago its future came into question when the course executive briefly considered scrapping fixtures after a spate of small fields in some of its more prestigious races. It was no more than a fleeting concern and was soon forgotten, and now Ascot’s eight annual fixtures are an integral factor of the jump season and of the course’s annual offering. “Jumping at Ascot is often perceived to be the Flat’s little brother, and that’s understandable given the magnitude of the royal meeting and our Flat programme generally,” says Nick Smith, Ascot’s head of communications and international racing. “However, we don’t feel like that within the organisation and have built on the programme and prize-money consistently. I think it’ll surprise a few people, when they see the historical images on course and on television, just how many of the greats have run here, from Arkle and Mill House, through Desert Orchid and on to latter-day legends such as Big Buck’s.” There have been many memorable moments aside from those described here. Who can forget Andrew Thornton’s incredible feat of horsemanship to win on Kingscliff after the reins had snapped at the third fence of a three-mile chase, or Monet’s Garden’s heartwarming success at the age of 12 in the Ascot Chase, or Kauto Star’s imperious victory in the same race on his only appearance at the course, or Peter Scudamore bringing a long and illustrious career to an end with a winner in Sweet Duke. Ascot has substantially enriched the jumping scene over the last 50 years, has comfortably established itself as one of the top jump courses in Britain and Ireland, and on Saturday - Betfair Ascot Chase day - there will be celebrations surrounding the ‘golden jubilee’ with free admission to all Grandstand visitors. Tickets can be purchased in advance and children under 18 years of age gain free entry to this event as well as all other Ascot meetings. Free Grandstand tickets must be booked in advance. Maximum of two tickets per person.

  • Kauto Star, a Steeplechasing Legend1 Dr Katherine Dashper and Dr
    ‘Like a hawk among house sparrows’: Kauto Star, a steeplechasing legend1 Dr Katherine Dashper and Dr Thomas Fletcher, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK The concept of ‘icon’ has been applied to numerous athletes as a result of their sporting achievements, likeable public personas, and stories of triumph, resilience and courage. The cultural role of the horse as icon, hero, celebrity and national luminary, however, is lacking within the literature. In this article we extend this human concept to apply to the racehorse Kauto Star, who was heralded by many as the saviour of British racing in the early twenty‐first century. We argue that the narrative surrounding Kauto Star had all the essential ingredients for the construction of a heroic storyline around this equine superstar: his sporting talent; his flaws and ability to overcome adversity; his ‘rivalry’ with his stable mate; his ‘connections’ to high profile humans in the racing world; and, the adoration he received from the racing public. Media representations are key elements in the construction of sporting narratives, and the production of heroes and villains within sport. In this paper we construct a narrative of Kauto Star, as produced through media reports and published biographies, to explore how this equine star has been elevated beyond the status of ‘animal’, ‘racehorse’ or even ‘athlete’ to the exalted position of sporting icon. Key words: Animals, celebrity, equine sport, hero, icon, media representation, racing Introduction Sports lend themselves to the production and presentation of cultural icons. The status of a sporting icon is usually conferred on men and women for their performances on a field of play.2 However, is iconicity defined by performances alone? Over the last three/four decades there has been a proliferation of writings about the achievements of certain sports men and women.
