Royal Ascot 2019 LIVE results: Horse racing action on day three plus weather and predictions

Welcome to Standard Sport's live coverage of Royal Ascot.

The five-day festival, held at Ascot Racecourse, is one of the most important weeks in the British sporting calendar, featuring eight Group One contests, and boasts more prize money than any other race meet in Britain.

Frankie Dettori sent shockwaves through bookmakers when winning the first four races on Thursday.

But just when it looked like a modern-day repeat of the Italian's 'Magnificent Seven' of September 1996, when he won all seven races on the day at Ascot, was looming large, he just failed in the fifth race of the day, when Turgenev was caught close home by Biometric.

The hugely-popular Italian kicked off his afternoon with Al'Ali in the Norfolk Stakes for Simon Crisford, before winning the Hampton Court aboard the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Sangarius and the Ribblesdale Stakes with John Gosden's Star Catcher.

It was then all eyes on the Gold Cup, where Dettori again emerged victorious through Gosden's defending champion Stradivarius.

Gosden said: "This 48-year-old kid (Dettori) take this to another level, like a Wimbledon semi-final and final. He's riding quite beautifully. He occasionally listens to me, but not too much."
