Royal Ascot Royal Hunt Cup Betting Odds - Julienas Takes the Win
Another of the Day 2 highlights is the Royal Hunt Cup which is a handicap for 3 year olds and older and is run over the mile course. It resembles a very colourful cavalry charge and is one of the most spectacular races of the meeting. It is suggested that the winner of this race is usually up to listed class. The Royal Ascot betting on The Royal Hunt Cup is always very open and a lot can depend on the draw and where the speed is up the straight.
One that looks like a major contender in the Royal Hunt Cup Betting is Start Right who we last saw at Epsom finishing third in the Investec Mile for Luca Cumani. The winner of that race at Epsom was Dance And Dance and he could also take his chance in a competitive looking Royal Hunt Cup on Wednesday.
