		Until yesterday, though, the Ascot Gold Cup - and indeed, the grand cycle of staying events as a whole - was a notable exception.
		A 280-second gallop around the new Ascot was enough to correct the oversight, as Yeats returned from an absence of 242 days to win the Royal meeting's showpiece event in the style of a horse who could now clean up in the Cup races.
		He had a Group One win to his name already, in last year's Coronation Cup, and though his stamina at 2½ miles was not guaranteed, he was ridden with the utmost confidence by Kieren Fallon and imposed his class on the race a quarter of a mile out.

		Although it was known that the field for the Gold Cup would not be a large one, the race promised a most interesting contest.
		The Ascot Gold Cup, run over a distance of two miles and a half, was, of course, the principal attraction of the afternoon.

	2005 Ascot Gold Cup Preview
		IN LAST year’s Ascot Gold Cup preview we were able to use the Dosage system to confidently predict that Papineau and Westerner – in that order – would turn over the short-priced favourite Mr Dinos.
		He ran no sort of race in the 2003 Ascot Gold Cup, however, when eleventh of 12 behind Mr Dinos and that form is best ignored.
		If a Dosage index of 1.00 and a centre of distribution of zero is the blueprint for a Derby contender, for a potential Gold Cup winner we are ideally looking for a negative CD and a DI of less than one.

		On the Thursday of Ascot Week, is "Ladies Day." This is a long-standing tradition in which there is a parade of women displaying their hats.

	readaBet.com - ASCOT GOLD CUP BETTING ODDS PREVIEW - REEFSCAPE
		Sir Michael Stoute's Distinction has been all the rage for the Ascot Gold Cup at the Royal Meeting on June 22 since making a successful seasonal reappearance at Newbury where he gave 9lb and head beating to Balkan Knight with fully seven length back to the third home, Avalon.
		Considering that the trip in that Listed contest, just under a mile and six furlongs, was plenty sharp enough for Distinction, he deserves the utmost respect for showing such fortitude to get back on top close home after it looked as though the eventual runner up was going to swamp him a furlong out.
		Yeats is unproven over the trip and, as a horse that is constantly beset with niggling problems, he's a risky betting proposition, while the likes of Golden Quest and Tungsten Strike are tough customers who always give 100 per cent, but neither possess the class of Reefscape.
