ROYAL ASCOT RACE CARD AND
BETTING TIPS

The concluding day of Royal Ascot looks set to provide another thrilling day of action with the feature Platinum Jubilee Stakes, the premier Group 1 sprint of the meeting over six furlongs. 

It is one of the most prestigious sprint races in Europe and attracts competitors from around the world and is worth a whopping £1 million to the winner. It is the sixth leg of the Global Sprint Challenge, a ten-race international series which was inaugurated in 2005. This race is famously hard to predict and this year looks set to be another wide open betting heat. 

Top-class Australian sprinter Nature Strip warmed up for an ambitious tilt at the Platinum Jubilee Stakes with a stunning three-length success to pick up a third win in the TJ Smith Stakes. The seven-year-old veteran has won eight top-level successes in his career and will be looking to emulate fellow Aussie stars such as Black Caviar and Choisir with a win at the Royal meeting.

A further international contender is Campanelle. The American star has already won twice at the Royal meeting, landing the Queen Mary in 2020 and last year’s Commonwealth Cup.

Another member of Wesley Ward’s team coming over the pond from the US is Golden Pal. The four-year-old has won already this season, taking the Grade 2 Shakertown Stakes at Keeneland by an impressive five lengths in April.

The races are sprawled over five days of fantastic action. You can get all the latest news and race results here on our website and use the live betting platform for greater excitement. Make the most out of your Royal Ascot 2022 with our expert betting guide.

Day 1:

Royal Ascot begins with a bang on Tuesday, as day one kickstarts Flat racing’s marquee summer meeting. If you’re struggling to work out who to bet on. Spearheaded by the Queen Anne Stakes, a race that has produced some epic performances in recent years, the stage is set for five days of world-class racing.

Day 2:

With one Group One race on the card, day two of Royal Ascot tends to get underway at a more relaxed pace. The headline race is the Prince of Wales’s Stakes, a top-level contest worth £1million, making it one of the most valuable races at Royal Ascot 2022. It’s run over one mile and two furlongs and attracts some of the best middle-distance performers in horse racing.

Day 3:

Day three features Ascot’s oldest surviving race and most famous race, the Gold Cup. The historic race has produced some of Royal Ascot’s most memorable moments down the years, including Yeats’ record fourth victory in 2009 and last year saw Subjectivist shock the three-time champion Stradivarius. Can the popular Stradivarius return to the Ascot Gold Cup winners circle this year in Subjectivist’s absence?

Day 4:

The penultimate day of Royal Ascot is guaranteed to feature a star-studded line-up, with six top-level races on the card, it makes for a day of entertaining racing. The race card features the Coronation Stakes, which attracts Irish, British and European 1,000 Guineas winners, and looks set up to be another classic this year.

Day 5:

The final day of Royal Ascot takes place on Saturday, and like the first four days, there will be seven quality races on the card to bring proceedings to a spectacular finale. The Diamond Jubilee Stakes is the standout race of the day. It is a 6 furlong dash to the line and is one of the great global sprints in the racing calendar. It was elevated to Group One status in 2002, and is the meeting’s most prestigious sprint race. Royal Ascot Saturday also features flat racing’s longest race, The Queen Alexandra Stakes, which is run over two miles and six furlongs.

Royal Ascot Betting Guide

If you’re new to horse racing betting then Royal Ascot is one of the best festivals to cut your teeth with Unibet. As a Flat meeting without any jumps for the horses to go over, there is one less element to contend with for a horse to win as there is less likelihood of horses falling or upending their jockeys.

Betting on horse racing is all about judgement calls. It can be tricky when you run down the list of runners to pick a horse you think will win or place. But there are some straightforward tips to choosing the right bet. Here are some basic measures you can take to boost your hopes of success:

Take your time

There is little benefit to rushing your racing bets and it is unlikely to end well in the long run. Instead, take your time and assess which races you actually want to bet on, which horses have a chance and how much you’re willing to stake.

Make the most of all information available

Placing your bet based simply on the name of the horse or the colour of the silks the jockey is wearing is highly unlikely to be a long-term winning strategy. Horse form, conditions, field size and even factors like jockey and trainer can be utilised in order to make the best decision possible

Watch racing live

Ways To Bet At Royal Ascot

There are two main types of horse racing bets that newcomers to the sport will gravitate towards. These are the Win and Each Way (EW) bets. Both focus on the success of a horse and are great bet types for fans just getting into the rhythm of betting.

Winner bets are as simple as they sound. You select the horse you think will win outright. To do this, click on the odds of your chosen horse, enter your stake in the bet slip and click ‘Place Bet’ to complete the process. If you win, you’ll get your winnings plus your stake back.

EW bets are a way of spreading the risk, should your horse not win. Here, you place one bet on your horse to win and another on it to place in the top 3 or 4 spots (usually) in the race. Occasionally you will also get Royal Ascot promotions, which offer even more places in which your horse can finish for a winning bet. If your horse places, the EW part of your bet will pay out at a fraction of the ‘win’ odds (either ¼ or 1/5) and could cover your overall stake, or even earn you a profit. Should the horse win, your win bet will pay out PLUS your EW bet.
