Royal Ascot Round up!

There were some amazing moments from Ascot this year. These are some of the most prominent in my opinion.

 Hollie Doyle her first Royal Ascot winner. She's made history by doing so being the 3rd ever female jockey to have a winner here. Hollie continues to break records and build on her success of last season mentioned in my prior blog which can be found here. She gave Scarlet Dragon a hell of a ride by weaving her way through the field and having a strong finish . Her strength significantly helped her. This followed the success of the day before of Hayler Turner who replicated last year again in the Sandringham Stake on the 33/1 Onassis for Charlie Fellows.

 Frankie Dettori and Ryan Moore have additionally made history having their 70th and 60th Royal Ascot winner. Also, Frankie has now won every single group one winner at Royal Ascot showing how much of an exceptional jockey he is. Frankie's 70th was on the penultimate day on Fanny Logan in the Hardwicke Stakes while Ryan's happened on Russian Emperor in the Hamton Court Stakes. They both rode well all week and these just show why they are two of the best jockeys in the country.

 Jim Crowley had six winners which is amazing in itself. These were all ridden exceptionally, he read the race well. These winners came from the outsider Motakhayyel, Battaash, Nazeef, Hukum, Molatham, Khaloosy. They were all owned by Hamdam Al Maktoum. He has a very impressive string of horses making it appear like they hadn't had any time off at all.

Battaash was one of Crowley's winners. I wasn't sure about this horse, it seemed like a big ask. The favourite made all and went on to win easily. His turn of pace has largely been exciting and we got to see this again. He went clear and won by 2 1/4 lengths.

The Queen had her first winner at Royal Ascot for FOUR years which is incredible. Tactical under James Doyle rode this winner in complete and utter style.

 John Gosden was one of my top trainers of all time and I wasn't wrong. He was this year leading trainer of Royal Ascot with six winners including Frankly Darling, Nazzef, Lord North, Stradivarius, Fanny Logan and Palace Pier. For me Stradivarius was one of the best wins of the entire meeting, winning in such ease by moving through the field and just accelerating away. He went on to win by 10 lengths making it his third Gold Cup win. Simply incredible.

Another surprise from the jockeys was Kevin Stott. He managed to ride a double on the final day in tremendous style. These came from Hello Youmzain and Hey Jonesy. This was a big day in his career and I'm sure he will just continue with this momentum.

 I could have mentioned so many more moments. What would be your best moment of the week?

My looks for royal ascot

These are the looks I would have picked for each day if the public could attend. When picking outfits for Royal Ascot please check their website for dress code as outfits I would have worn wasn't allowed due to the strict rules. I'm a huge fan of two pieces/co-ords but midriff isn't permitted. Other dress code rules are no narrow straps or off the shoulders including Bardot tops.

I'm a big believer of wear what you want and what feels comfortable so this is what I would have worn. I kept my nails rather neutral so they would go with anything that I would have worn but again this is up to the individual like with makeup too. I would have my makeup subtle with big lashes and a nice lipstick that works with my skin tone.

First day outfit 

My first-day outfit is a predominantly black jumpsuit with a pop of colour down the front. I paired this with a pair of black heels, a matching hat and bag. I'm a big fan of wearing black clothes I think it really suits my skin tone but by having the dash of red it makes it a bit different. I would wear this with gold accessories. I went for gold hoops which in my opinion make any outfit and a simple gold

necklace as the front was rather lowcut.

Second day outfit 

My second-day outfit is A little black dress with white detailing. You can't go wrong with a monochrome moment. I wore this with silver accessories, including a clutch and shoes. I would always wear heels but this is up to the individual. To me, heels brings an extra touch of class where flats wouldn't. Again a hat is necessary. Due to the top of this dress, I don't think a necklace is needed but I would have long-ish dangly earrings.

Ladies day outfit 

My third-day outfit is: Ladies day means all the best outfits will be out, the most extravagant hats and dresses for the best-dressed competition will be seen. This dress is more floaty and airy. The burgundy colour is one of my favourites and slightly unusual. This again gives a change of silhouette throughout the week, giving some variation to the looks that you have. This I would wear gold accessories with a hat to match shoes. this time I went for a strappy heeled sandal type shoe. I would pick simple stud earrings and a delicate necklace.

Fourth day outfit 

My penultimate day outfit is a simple blue dress which flatters my skin tone. The top has a slight decoration with some delicate lace. This would be worn with gold accessories including the strappy sandals and a gold clutch. However, this could be worn with various coloured shoes, bags and hats including cream, black, blue and silver. The choice is up to the individual. I think the silhouette of this dress is classy and suits most people.

Final day outfit 

My final day outfit is A emerald green ruched dress, I love this dress I think it suits my figure. I paired this with gold jewellery and black shoes but again a variety of colours would work. The black lace-up shoes matched with the little black handbag. Ruched dresses are very popular at the moment as they flatter all figures and are very diverse.
