Media Guide Welcome to Royal Ascot from Her Majesty’S Representative MEDIA GUIDE WELCOME TO ROYAL ASCOT FROM HER MAJESTY’S REPRESENTATIVE May I wish a warm welcome to the world’s media in this very special Diamond Jubilee year. Her Majesty The Queen has owned no fewer than 63 Ascot winners, 20 of them at the Royal Meeting, and it’s always a great thrill for everyone when the Royal colours are successful. It would be marvellous for that to happen this year. We recall the perfect timing in Silver Jubilee year when dual Classic-winning Dunfermline provided tremendous success for The Queen. As part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, we are staging a very special exhibition titled “60 years of Royal Ascot during the Reign of Her Majesty The Queen.” Situated beside the pre-parade ring, this is a photographic commemoration of the Royal Family at Ascot over the past 60 years. Central to the Royal Meeting is the fact that, on the track, we have the finest programme of races anywhere in the world. We have increased our prize money this year by £715,000 and now offer £4.5 million across the 30 races of the five-day meeting. None of the races are worth less than £55,000. Two of our races offer prize money of £500,000 each. We have renamed The Golden Jubilee Stakes. From this year it is The Diamond Jubilee Stakes and with prize money of £500,000 it is Britain’s most valuable sprint race. Royal Ascot’s two legs of the Global Sprint Challenge, The King’s Stand Stakes on Tuesday and The Diamond Jubilee Stakes on Saturday, will again feature a truly cosmopolitan field of runners. We are delighted that Royal Ascot is now so firmly on the itinerary of top-class horses from around the world. All seven of the Group One championship races run at Royal Ascot are part of the QIPCO British Champions Series, which is now in its second year and has provided a compelling new element to the British racing programme. The series culminates at Ascot with QIPCO British Champions Day on Saturday, October 20. But this week is all about celebrating Britain’s pinnacle of summer racing. I hope you have a wonderful time with us. Johnny Weatherby Her Majesty’s Representative Front Cover: The Royal Box in 1950 1 2012 PRIZE MONEY RAISED TO £4,500,000 The total Prize Fund for this year’s Royal Meeting will be £4,500,000, an increase of £715,000 on 2011 values. The Prince of Wales’s Stakes, being run this year as “The 150th Anniversary of The Prince Of Wales’s Stakes,” and The Diamond Jubilee Stakes, will both be run for £500,000, an increase of £100,000 in each instance. The Queen Anne Stakes, Gold Cup and King’s Stand Stakes will be worth £350,000 this year, representing increases of £100,000 for the first two named and £50,000 for the latter. The Hardwicke Stakes has doubled in value to £200,000 and there will be no penalties to be carried by Group One or Two winners this year. The King Edward VII Stakes will be run for £150,000 (£140,000 in 2011); The Ribblesdale Stakes will be run for £125,000 (£100,000 in 2011); The Wokingham and Royal Hunt Cup Handicaps will be run for £125,000 (£100,000 in 2011); The Buckingham Palace Handicap will be run for £75,000 (£50,000 in 2011) and The Duke of Edinburgh Handicap will be run for £70,000 (£50,000 in 2011). In addition, £5,000 has been added to the value of seven races previously run for £50,000, to increase the minimum prize money at the meeting to £55,000. Charles Barnett, Chief Executive at Ascot, said: “In an increasingly competitive international environment, it is crucial for Europe’s flagship race meeting to invest in prize money and we are delighted to have made a near 20 per cent increase to last year’s total Prize Fund in this respect. “At Group One level, we have increased the value of the races which historically attract interest from around the world and those that we feel have the most scope to do so in the future. “The Hardwicke is a race that we are very keen to build as it comfortably achieves Group One ratings on a regular basis. In order to attract Group One and Group Two winners further, the penalties have been removed and the race has doubled in value. “Ensuring that the whole Royal Ascot programme on a domestic level moves forward is as important as investing in the Pattern races, and we have increased the value of several handicaps, including the flagship Royal Hunt Cup and Wokingham.” TELEVISON COVERAGE The first five races from Tuesday to Friday and the first four on Saturday will be covered on BBC Television on the BBC HD channel and across BBC1 and BBC2 as detailed on the following page. All 36 races are also shown live on At The Races. Through BBC Worldwide and GBI Racing, pictures from Royal Ascot are distributed to approximately 200 countries. 2 ROYAL ASCOT ORDER OF RUNNING FIRST DAY – TUESDAY, JUNE 19 (ROYAL PROCESSION AT 2PM EACH DAY) BBC1 2.30 pm The Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) 4+ £350,000 One Mile BBC1 3.05 pm The King’s Stand Stakes (Group 1) 3+ £350,000 Five furlongs BBC 2 3.50 pm The St James’s Palace Stakes (Group 1) 3 colts £250,000 Old Mile BBC 2 4.25 pm The Coventry Stakes (Group 2) 2 £85,000 Six furlongs BBC 2 5.00 pm The Ascot Stakes (Handicap) 4+ £55,000 Two and a half miles BBCi 5.35 pm The Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed) 2 £55,000 Five furlongs SECOND DAY – WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20 BBC1 2.30 pm The Jersey Stakes (Group 3) 3 £70,000 Seven furlongs 4+ fillies BBC1 3.05 pm The Windsor Forest Stakes (Group 2) £100,000 One mile & mares The 150th Anniversary of the Prince of Wales’s Stakes BBC2 3.50 pm 4+ £500,000 One and a quarter miles (Group 1) BBC2 4.25 pm The Royal Hunt Cup (Heritage Handicap) 3+ £125,000 One mile BBC2 5.00 pm The Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2) 2 fillies £75,000 Five furlongs BBCi 5.35 pm The Sandringham Stakes (Listed) (Handicap) 3 fillies £55,000 One mile THIRD DAY – THURSDAY, JUNE 21 BBC1 2.30 pm The Norfolk Stakes (Group 2) 2 £75,000 Five furlongs BBC1 3.05 pm The Ribblesdale Stakes (Group 2) 3 fillies £125,000 One and a half miles BBC 2 3.50 pm The Gold Cup (Group 1) 4+ £350,000 Two and a half miles 3 colts & BBC 2 4.25 pm The Britannia Stakes (Heritage Handicap) £100,000 One mile geldings BBC2 5.00 pm The Tercentenary Stakes (Group 3) 3 £70,000 One and a quarter miles BBCi 5.35 pm The King George V Stakes (Handicap) 3 £55,000 One and a half miles FOURTH DAY – FRIDAY, JUNE 22 BBC1 2.30 pm The Albany Stakes (Group 3) 2 fillies £60,000 Six furlongs 3 colts & BBC 1 3.05 pm The King Edward VII Stakes (Group 2) £150,000 One and a half miles geldings BBC2 3.50 pm The Coronation Stakes (Group 1) 3 fillies £250,000 Old mile BBC2 4.25 pm The Wolferton Handicap Stakes (Listed) 4+ £55,000 One and a quarter miles BBC2 5.00 pm The Queen’s Vase (Group 3) 3 £60,000 Two miles BBCi 5.35 pm The Buckingham Palace Stakes (Handicap) 3+ £75,000 Seven furlongs FIFTH DAY – SATURDAY, JUNE 23 BBC 1 2.30 pm The Chesham Stakes (Listed) 2 £55,000 Seven furlongs BBC 1 3.05 pm The Hardwicke Stakes (Group 2 – NO PENALTIES) 4+ £200,000 One and a half miles BBC1 3.50 pm The Diamond Jubilee Stakes (Group 1) 3+ £500,000 Six furlongs BBC1 4.25 pm The Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap) 3+ £125,000 Six furlongs BBCi 5.00 pm The Duke of Edinburgh Stakes (Handicap) 3+ £70,000 One and a half miles BBCi 5.35 pm The Queen Alexandra Stakes (Conditions) 4+ £55,000 Two miles, six furlongs 3 ASCOT ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE AND THE GLOBAL SPRINT CHALLENGE Ascot is home to Europe’s premier race meeting, Royal Ascot; to Europe’s mid-summer middle distance championship, the £1-million King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (sponsored by Betfair, July); to the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup (August), a unique international jockeys’ team event; and to the culmination of the European season, the £3- million QIPCO British Champions Day (October). Considered the standard-bearer for international racing within Europe, Ascot actively seeks to strengthen its programme through the participation of horses from all around the world. The racecourse has welcomed runners from Australia, New Zealand, America, Hong Kong, Japan, South Africa and all over Europe in recent years, none higher profile and more ground- breaking than Choisir, who landed the King’s Stand Stakes/Golden Jubilee Stakes double for Australia in 2003, paving the way for wins for compatriots Takeover Target, Miss Andretti and Scenic Blast. In 2005, Ascot set up a sprinting series, the Global Sprint Challenge, with Racing Victoria and the Victoria Racing Club in Australia and the Japan Racing Association. The Hong Kong Jockey Club, Newmarket Racecourses, the Singapore Turf Club and the Dubai Racing Club have subsequently joined and the series now numbers 10 races from February to December.

While Impending=s participation was in doubt after he threw a shoe the day before the race and pricked his hoof, Beadman watched the race from home after having spent two days in hospital with fluid around his heart. It is likely that watching the Stradbroke got his heart racing. "The lounge chair copped a flogging when I watched the Stradbroke," Beadman told Racenet.com.au. "But [stable employee Brett Killion] deserves all the accolades. The horse shifted a plate yesterday and pricked himself and [Killion] worked overtime on him all last night.
