Gold Cup

Royal Ascot Gold Cup Betting Odds - Fame And Glory Claiams Brilliant Win

Royal Ascot Gold CupThe Gold Cup is one of the main spectacles of the Royal Ascot Races as it is run over the extreme distance of 2 mile 4 furlongs and is a group 1 for 4 year olds and older. Last year we had a nice winner in Rite Of Passage for Dermot Weld but he will miss the race after a setback to leave Fame And Glory as the clear favourite.

The Royal Ascot betting on the Gold Cup is frenzied as there are only a handful of real stars running over this distance. All the best betting offers are available through this site and the Ascot Gold Cup which is one of the highlights of the entire week. One to watch out for in the betting is the John Gosden trained Duncan who is in good form this season having won the Yorkshire Cup recently and is sure to run his race on Ladies Day.
