What is the Britannia Stakes? 

The Britannia Stakes is a handicap race run over one mile on day three of Royal Ascot.

Currently run as the penultimate race on Thursday, the Britannia Stakes is one of the toughest betting heats of the entire week. First run in 1928, it has become one of the most exciting races of the entire week, as while it may lack the quality of some of the Group races during the week, it is a popular betting heat with bumper fields going to post.

What happened in the 2019 Britannia Stakes? 

A massive field of 28 went to post, but having won the first four races of the afternoon Frankie Dettori was bidding for a fifth win on board Turgenev, who was sent off favourite. A furlong from home, Dettori had pulled a couple of lengths clear of the field, but Ralph Beckett's Biometric was going in search of the leader and in the closing strides denied Dettori his fifth win, as Biometric took the spoils. Turgenev ran a huge race to finish second, while Fanaar (third) and (Awe) completed the placings.
