Tips on Course Bias for Royal Ascot 

✅ The most profitable stall at Royal Ascot in the win market when breaking it down to race trips is stall 10 over a trip of 6f, backing all runners in this stall over that trip over the past five years would have returned a profit of +73.50.

❌ For the least profitable stall at Royal Ascot, you need to look at races over 1m and focus on stall 6 as this has produced an LSP of -57.50 over the last five years.

Here we have the draw bias for Royal Ascot taken into consideration. In races with ten or more runners, we will break down the figures by race distance. Draws can be much more important over the shorter trips in which runners do not have time to find their position during the race, meaning the draw is probably more important than the races over longer distances.

• Sprints (5f to 7½f)
• Mile (1m to 1m1½f)
• Middle Distance (1m2f to 1m5½f)
• Long Distance (1m6f or further)

The following table shows a breakdown of a group of trips and shows how each position of the draw does, for example, in a twelve-runner race, would be Low (Stalls 1-4), Mid (Stalls 5-8) and High (Stalls 9-12). The positions will always be the lowest stall number to the highest.

Royal Ascot Tips Jockey Analysis

OLBG Member Teddy T has unearthed some great jockey stats for Royal Ascot, particularly focused on Ryan Moore.

At face value, those odds look pretty appealing considering Moore’s impressive record, but is there a way of increasing the profit level by honing in on the areas where Moore particularly excels?

The basic facts for Ryan Moore’s rides over the last ten years at Royal Ascot look like this:

Ryan Moore at Royal Ascot 2017-2026 - 321 bets for 57 wins (18% strike rate) and an LSP of -43.52.

Just backing Moore’s mounts blindly in each of the last ten years would only have returned a profit just twice, so we need to dig deeper.

Watch out when he teams up with Aidan O'Brien in a Group 2 race; he has won on 18 of his 67 rides (27%) for an LSP of +24.80 (+43.65 BSP).

Overall, his rides outside of Class 1 races are the source of most of the loss, with an LSP of -30.25 for 33 rides resulting in just 1 winner.

• Group 1 Races: 14-63 (22%) -3.77
• Group 2 Races: 18-67 (27%) +24.80
• Group 3 Races: 5-28 (18%) -7.79
• Listed Race Races: 6-24 (25%) -3.38
• Non-Major Races: 1-33 (3%) -30.25

Royal Ascot Top Betting Tips

• Check the OLBG tips pages for detailed comments on individual horses.
• Read the daily horse racing discussion on the OLBG Discord server.
• Check the going and weather updates from the clerk of the course.
• Check stall placement and any early track bias.
• Look to the top trainers of the best-bred horses, note the offspring of Frankel, Galileo and Dubawi.
• Check trainers who have had previous race success in a specific race. Aidan O’Brien has won the St James Palace Stakes numerous times in the last 20 years, plus he has numerous placed horses; it seems to be a race he targets with his Irish Guineas horses.
• Check the previous handicap weight bands of the winners of specific races. If the bulk of the winners of a particular race come from the most common weight band, look deeper into those runners.
