Sporting & Social Occasions: The easons Why Royal Ascot is the Best

January 26, 2012

Royal Ascot originated from a horse race which took place 300 years ago on the very same grounds that the event takes place on today. Not far from Windsor Castle, this prime real estate was suggested by Queen Anne in 1711 as the perfect location for a racecourse. The royal\’s vision and passion as a keen rider are honoured to this day in the Queen Anne Stakes held in memory of Ascot\’s founder.
