Royal Ascot 2025 runners and riders in full plus prize money for Day 1

Elite of the globe’s flat-racing talent set for five special days of action

Glittering Royal Ascot starts on Tuesday with a star-studded line-up to kick-off the five-day spectacular in Berkshire.

Described by Newmarket trainer George Scott as the FA Cup Final or Ryder Cup of racing, class acts from across the globe descend onto the meeting.

Day one is a cracker with the Queen Anne Stakes which opens the meeting the first of three Group 1s on the card alongside the St James’s Palace Stakes and King Charles III Stakes.

Irish maestro Aidan O’Brien will be expected to have another massive meeting having scooped all the major prizes at the recent Derby meeting at Epsom.

However, quality trainers, jockeys and horses litter the races with a stunning showpiece in prospect and Record Sport takes you through the full list of contenders for Tuesday.
