Royal Ascot prizepot boosted by £1m

Prize-money at Royal Ascot this year has been increased by £1m, meaning a record £6,580,000 will be on offer over the five days.

For the first time, there will be at least £1m up for grabs every day of the meeting that runs from June 14 to 18.

None of the 30 races will be run for less than £80,000 compared to £60,000 in 2015.
