    Something historic happened at Royal Ascot yesterday.

    For the first time in the event's history, racegoers were allowed to remove their jackets.

    Heresy, I hear you cry!

    But the decision was taken for the safety of the public, due to the 'very hot conditions'.

    Similar weather is expected today, with highs expected of 32 degrees.

  3. Hot start to Ascot: Godolphin opening-day treblepublished at 09:01 British Summer Time 21 June 2017

    A very hot start to Royal Ascot yesterday, literally for the weather, and metaphorically for the Godolphin stable.

    Barney Roy won the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot as Godolphin celebrated an opening-day treble.

    The 5-2 winner, ridden by James Doyle for trainer Richard Hannon, triumphed as favourite Churchill finished fourth.

    That was the day's second win for Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin team, after Ribchester took the Queen Anne Stakes, with Sound And Silence successful in the concluding Windsor Castle Stakes.

    Meanwhile, filly Lady Aurelia landed the King's Stand Stakes.
