The 2025 Royal Ascot opens under sunny conditions, promising a week of good weather for racegoers. This year’s event has evolved considerably, expanding from four days and 24 races to five days and 35 races while maintaining its deep-rooted traditions. Key races this afternoon include three major Group Ones, like the Queen Anne Stakes, with strong historical significance. Several horses will be absent today due to various ailments, including Bucanero Fuerte and No Half Measures. These adjustments highlight the blend of tradition and modern developments at one of horse racing's premier events.
The sun is out, the temperatures are climbing past 20C already and the best news of all is that the fine weather is looking set for the week.
Royal Ascot's immutability is one of the wonders of the modern age. Nothing really seems to faze it whatever the weather, however troubled the times.
