First held in 1807 the Ascot Gold cup is one of the longest on the UK flat racing calendar, run over 2.5 miles, and is one of the top prizes for the world’s best stayers. That first race, in 1807, was won by Master Jackey, a three year old who had already won a race at Ascot twenty-four hours earlier. It is set as a Group 1 race, the highest possible in the thoroughbred racing world.
