 English Race Course Gazeteer: Ascot and Newbury
The establishment of the Ascot course is credited to Queen Anne, who offered a race, Her Majesty's Plate, of 100 guineas, to be run "round the new beat at Ascot Common, near Windsor" on 7 August 1711; the meet began two days earlier with a £50 plate race.
After her death, in 1714, it wasn't until the inauguration of a Cup race in 1777 that the "Windsor and Ascot Heath Races" were reinvigorated, becoming one of the principal racing venues.
Ascot is a right-handed track, and the Old Mile is a steady rise, until turning in the 2 furlong home straight, from where it is uphill, until levelling out 100 yards from the winning post.
