Clondaw Warrior has plenty to offer in Ascot Stakes

I’ve been to the Melbourne Cup, Breeders’ Cup, Hong Kong International Races and Dubai Carnival — all fantastic festivals in their own right — but none of them top Royal Ascot.

I haven’t missed Royal Ascot for the last 10 years now. I love everything about it from the relentless top-class racing, to the international competition, and, of course, the social side.

In fact, it was because of the ‘social’ aspect, that a Walsh is represented today. It was this time two years ago, that my wife Gillian, along with some of her friends, decided they wanted to have a runner at Royal Ascot.
