Royal Ascot Buckingham Palace Stakes Odds - Manassas Wins
The Buckingham stakes one of the newer Royal Ascot betting races and is for 3 year olds and over and is a fiercely competitive handicap over 7 furlongs. The Royal Ascot betting on the Buckingham Palace stakes is generally a 5/1 the field betting race and those who like top back one at a big price can get stuck into this race.
The big handicap races are always tough but one to consider has to be Docofthebay who rarely runs a bad race for David Nicholls and team. Another one likely to go close is the Kevin Ryan trained Our Jonathan who is another one who should contest the finish if he is near his best.

Buckingham Palace Stakes Racecard
These big-field handicaps are meat and drink to Docofthebay, who looks nailed on to take a hand in the finish, particularly if the near side is favoured. Decent Fella is expected by his trainer to go well and makes the shortlist along with KingOf Jazz and Swilly Ferry but it may pay to give another chance to KALK BAY, who ran better than the bare result when unhelpfully drawn in the Spring Mile at Doncaster.
