Royal Ascot 2025 Day 3 - Results and Photos
2:30pm Norfolk Stakes Result
| Position | Name | SP |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Charles Darwin | 8/13f |
| 2nd | Wise Approach | 10/1 |
| 3rd | Sandals Song | 9/1 |
CHARLES DARWIN proves himself the natural selection, as the odds-on favourite delivers in the opener. Ryan Moore's mount made all of the running and kicked clear when challenged by Wise Approach, Sandals Song and the rank outsider, Ameeq.
3:05pm King George VI Stakes Result
| Position | Name | SP |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Merchant | 3/1f |
| 2nd | Serious Contender | 7/1 |
| 3rd | Pantile Warrior | 40/1 |
| 4th | Nautical Force | 25/1 |
| 5th | Omni Man | 11/1 |
Another good result for the punters as MERCHANT flies home late to score. Serious Contender produced a bold effort down the rail, but was run down late on by William Haggas' favourite. Pantile Warrior, Nautical Force and Omni Man fill out the places.
3:40pm Ribblesdale Stakes Result
| Position | Name | SP |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Garden Of Eden | 7/1 |
| 2nd | Understudy | 40/1 |
| 3rd | Catalina Delcarpio | 2/1f |
Another for Ryan Moore and Aidan O'Brien as GARDEN OF EDEN powers to an excellent victory in the Ribblesdale. Understudy kept on well to finish second at a big price, with well-backed favourite Catalina Delcarpio back in third.
4:20pm Ascot Gold Cup Result
| Position | Name | SP |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Trawlerman | 9/4f |
| 2nd | Illinois | 5/2 |
| 3rd | Dubai Future | 25/1 |
Second last year, first this year. TRAWLERMAN makes every inch of the running to win the Ascot Gold Cup under William Buick, breaking the track record in the process!
Illinois runs well for second, but maybe didn't see out this longer trip. Dubai Future stays on to finish third, having been held up well off the pace.
5:00pm Britannia Stakes Result
| Position | Name | SP |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Arabian Story | 15/2 |
| 2nd | La Botte | 7/1 |
| 3rd | Fearnot | 12/1 |
| 4th | Dividend | 50/1 |
Another Royal winner for Saeed Bin Suroor as ARABIAN STORY makes a winning turf debut, having only raced on the all-weather.
La Botte flew home from the rear aboard Jamie Spencer and almost snatched victory. Fearnot and Dividend went close too, as the horses drawn high completely dominated.
5:35pm Hampton Court Stakes Result
| Position | Name | SP |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Trinity College | 5/2f |
| 2nd | Tornado Alert | 9/1 |
| 3rd | Glittering Legend | 11/1 |
A Ryan Moore masterclass aboard TRINITY COLLEGE, who went straight to the front, stacked them up on the bend, and surged clear down the home straight.
Tornado Alert tracked the leader throughout and finished second, ahead of Glittering Legend. 20p Rule 4 though, as Jackknife was withdrawn at the start.
6:10pm Buckingham Palace Stakes Result
| Position | Name | SP |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Never So Brave | 4/1 |
| 2nd | Akkadian Thunder | 7/1 |
| 3rd | Holguin | 16/1 |
| 4th | Myal | 18/1 |
| 5th | Divine Libra | 14/1 |
A fifth winning favourite on the day goes in, as NEVER SO BRAVE storms up the rail to win the card-closer under Oisin Murphy.
Horses drawn high dominated on the straight track again, with Akkadian Thunder, Holguin, Myal and Divine Libra completing the places.

9:00am - Going Update
They've watered overnight at Ascot, but the going remains the same as yesterday. GOOD-TO-FIRM, GOOD in places.
We've reached the middle day of Royal Ascot, and viewers have got another excellent card to take in this afternoon. Illinois heads the betting for the Gold Cup, but will he get outstayed by one of the proven two-and-a-half milers.
I've had no luck with my selections so far this week. Just the one winner and each-way placer so far, but both NAPs were beaten by tiny margins and I've had a handful of each-way contenders finish just outside of the paid places ๐
Hopefully, today is the day we turn it around!
