A full-card Royal Ascot 2026 recap. Michael Adolphson joins In The Money Media’s Peter Thomas Fornatale to go race by race through the meeting — the winners, the tough beats, and the cross-form clues that point all the way to the 2026 Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland. From Ten Bob Tony’s 50/1 shock in the Queen Anne to Mission Central’s King Charles III Stakes win, Bow Echo’s gutsy St James’s Palace, Ombudsman’s monster Prince of Wales’s Stakes repeat, Scandinavia’s stretch duel in the Gold Cup, Venetian Sun in the Commonwealth Cup, Precise in the Coronation, Almeraq’s 25/1 Jubilee, and the American story of the week — Bacio and Wesley Ward in the Palace of Holyroodhouse — plus the Norfolk and the next generation of juvenile sprinters. Michael breaks down where each of these horses might land on the road to Keeneland, which trips suit, and the Win-and-You’re-In picture across the meeting. Essential viewing for handicappers, bettors, and anyone following European Breeders’ Cup form lines through the summer.
