The Ascot Gold Cup, 1834 by James Pollard. It is Britain's most prestigious event for "stayers" – horses which specialise in racing over long distances. It is traditionally held on the third day of the Royal Ascot meeting, which is known colloquially (but not officially) as Ladies' Day.
It is run at Ascot over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in June. The event was established when a three-year cycle of races called the Triennial Stakes was discontinued after World War I.
