JockeyCam is bringing fans live footage of every race at Royal Ascot this week.
As well as the historic course’s big screen, pictures are being used by 100 broadcasters around the world, including NBC Sports and FanDuel TV in the US and ITV and Sky Sports Racing in the UK.
While live JockeyCam has previously been involved in the prestigious meeting, this level of coverage and breadth of audience makes 2024 a ground-breaking year.
And, once again, the spectacular point-of-view footage delivered the goods.
JockeyCam beautifully caught the moment Australian sprinter Asfoora – piloted by Oisín Murphy – went through the gears to win the King Charles III Stakes. The helmet-mounted camera was being worn by Tom Marquand, who was third on Big Evs in Tuesday’s Group 1 race.
Among the other highlights, Clifford Lee’s cam captured a barnstorming finish in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes, as Auguste Rodin (under Ryan Moore) held off challengers Zarakem and Horizon Dore to win.
Royal Ascot is considered racing’s most glamourous fixture, with more than 250,000 racegoers expected to attend over the five days. There are seven races each day, with a total of £10m prizemoney up for grabs.
