Royal Ascot (Tuesday) Day 1

Most hard core fans are well aware of the Royal Ascot meet going on overseas. Its one of the best meets in the world and though it only lasts 5 days each card is packed with top class races. I've decided to post all graded races from the meet here for those who might not be inclined to hunt down the races or replays online otherwise. Hopefully a few more people will follow the races, which will take on added importance this year with the Breeders Cup being at Santa Anita on synthetics. Last year the Euro's dominated the first synthetic Cup, so if your wanting to get an idea for who is going to come over here at the end of the year and cause trouble for the yanks, the Royal Ascot meet is the place to start.

G1 Queen Anne Stakes
