Day three of Royal Ascot is here, and all eyes are on the Gold Cup race happening in East Berkshire. This exciting event will be broadcasted live on Sky Sports Racing. The main stars of the show are the top stayers Kyprios and Gregory who are set to battle it out in the Gold Cup.
Kyprios, a six-year-old trained by Aidan O’Brien, is no stranger to success. Having won the race in 2022, he is aiming to reclaim his title. With two wins under his belt this season, Kyprios is in great form and is expected to be a strong contender with jockey Ryan Moore in the saddle.
On the other hand, Gregory, trained by John and Thady Gosden, is also a formidable competitor. Having won the Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot last year, Gregory will be looking to prove himself as he steps up in distance with jockey James Doyle.
Another horse to watch out for is Coltrane, last year’s runner-up, who recently won the Sagaro Stakes at the same track. Trained by Andrew Balding and ridden by OisÃn Murphy, Coltrane could offer good value for each-way bets.
Moving on to the Ribblesdale race, all eyes are on Diamond Rain, trained by Charlie Appleby. This unbeaten filly has impressed in her previous races and is expected to shine as she steps up in distance to tackle 12 furlongs for the first time. Kalpana, trained by Andrew Balding, and You Got To Me are also strong contenders in this race.
In the Norfolk Stakes, Whistlejacket, trained by Aidan O’Brien, is the favorite to win. After a strong performance in the First Flier Stakes, Whistlejacket is expected to deliver under jockey Ryan Moore. Shareholder from Wathnan Racing and Aesterius from Archie Watson’s stable are also worth keeping an eye on in this race.
As the day progresses, there are several other exciting races to look forward to at Royal Ascot, including the King George V Stakes, the Britannia Stakes, the Hampton Court Stakes, and more. With a lineup of talented horses and skilled jockeys, the competition promises to be fierce.
