The centrepiece of Ascot’s year, Royal Ascot is one of Europe`s most famous race
meetings, and dates back to 1711 when it was founded by Queen Anne. Every year Royal
Ascot is attended by HM Elizabeth II and various members of the British Royal Family
such as The Prince of Wales, arriving each day in a horse-drawn carriage with the
Royal procession taking place at the start of each race day and the raising of the
Queens royal Standard. It is a major event in the British social calendar, and press
coverage of the attendees and what they are wearing often exceeds coverage of the
actual racing. There are 3 enclosures attended by guests on Royal Ascot week
The Royal Enclosure - is the most prestigious of the 3 enclosures with recent visits
from the Queen and Royal Family members. Access to the royal enclosure is restricted
with High security on the day. First time applicants must apply to the Royal Enclosure
office and gain membership from someone who has attended the enclosure for at least
4 years. For existing badgeholders, an invitation is sent out by Her Majesty's Representative
to request badges. The badgeholders name is written onto the badge and can only be
used by that person; the colours of the badges vary each day for one day applicants.
Those in the Royal Enclosure have the options of fine dining and hospitality and
a selection of bars. The Dress is strictly enforced, for Ladies only a day dress
with a hat or fascinator is acceptable with rules applying to the length of the dress
and ladies must not show bare midriffs or shoulders. For gentlemen a black or grey
morning dress with top hat.
Over 300,000 people make the annual visit to Berkshire during Royal Ascot week, making
this Europe’s best-attended race meeting. This leads to a split among racing fans,
some of whom are glad to see racing in the spotlight, and getting more attention,
while others do not like the meeting despite the quality of racing.
There are 16 Group races on offer, with at least one Group One event on each of the
five days. The Ascot Gold Cup is on Ladies' Day on the Thursday. There is over £3,000,000
of prize money on offer.

1m1f. There are seven fences to a circuit and a very short run in
History of Newton Abbot Racing
The course was first established in 1866 when the 91-acre (370,000 m2) site was purchased.
The main grandstand was built in 1969 and opened by the Queen Mother, while the corporate
facilities were opened in 1990. Newton Abbot is a unique track in the UK as there
are clear views of the entire course
Corporate hospitality
The racecourse has a variety of corporate meeting, conference rooms, suites and private
boxes as well as cafeterias and bars, and two restaurants: ‘The Winning Post’ and
‘The Paddock’. Many of the rooms have views across the racecourse, whilst there is
parking in and around the venue for 5,000 cars.
Other events at the racecourse
The racecourse holds monthly car boot sales and regular antiques fairs. Ladies Day
is held in June and there are a series of evening races. In the 1970s and 80's there
was greyhound racing at the racecourse in the evenings, following the closure of
the track in Kingskerswell. No totalisator was operated, but there were a few trackside
bookmakers.
