About the Royal Hunt Cup
The Royal Hunt Cup is a handicap race run on day two of Royal Ascot and is one of the biggest betting heats of the entire five-day meeting.
First run in 1843, the Royal Hunt Cup is contested on the straight course at the Berkshire venue and with field in excess of 25 horses bidding for glory then it can produce some fascinating finishes with only the strongest coming out on top. Often you see groups splitting away from the main body of runners, where it's paramount to be on the pace, but all-in-all it serves up one of the finest spectacles of the entire week.
Ralph Beckett's Jimi Hendrix was a shock 22/1 winner of the Royal Hunt Cup as he got the better of stablemate Sonny Liston.
