Last Ran: 18th June 2008
The Royal Hunt Cup is part of the Royal Ascot meeting in June, it is a Class 2 Heritage Handicap race with a race distance of one mile.
Usually a massive field of three year old horses and above it may not be the most popular race of the meeting but it certainly delivers in the specticle it provides, as these horses go at top speed over the Ascot course. Because of the large field and the difficulty it proves to pick the winner, many punters opt for the each way market in a race such as this.
