How to host Royal Ascot from home in style
Marcus ArmytageStradivarius. Trained by the champion trainer John Gosden and ridden by the irrepressible Frankie Dettori, the chestnut six-year-old is king of the stayers having won the Ascot Gold Cup twice and all the other ‘cup’ – (two miles plus) races going.He was unbeaten in 10 races over two seasons but that run came to an end of heavy ground at Ascot last October when he was beaten by Kew Gardens.A cheeky-chappie type at home, his style of racing is to only do enough.
