Royal Ascot day one: Brilliant Baaeed set to sparkle in Queen Anne

Aidan O'Brien is doubly represented in the Coventry Stakes
Royal Ascot day one: Brilliant Baaeed set to sparkle in Queen Anne

Baaeed surges clear of his opposition to win the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury last month.  He can maintain his unbeaten record in the Queen Anne Stakes on day one of Royal Ascot. Picture: Healy Racing.

Part of the charm of Royal Ascot is the absence of a gradual build-up to the main events. Instead, three of the eight Group 1 contests run over five compelling days will be packed into the first two hours of the opening day. A terrific week awaits but day one is utterly spectacular.
