Royal Ascot Day One race times and schedule - Tuesday 16th June
Royal Ascot starts today with Day 1 of action from the famous meeting.
Royal Ascot is ready to go, but not like you've ever seen it before.
Superstar runners and riders will be greeted by silence at the famous racecourse with no spectators allowed to watch in the grounds, and that goes for everyone.
The Queen will miss the meeting for the first time during her entire reign, but the action will be just as fierce as in any other year.
The Queen Anne Stakes at 1:50pm will be hotly-anticipated battle. Circus Maximus heads into the race as favourite though Terebellum and Mohaather will hope to spring a surprise.
The King's Stand Stakes is another one of the big races on the opening day, with Battaash the clear favourite.
