The first horse racing network learned that from Tuesday, June 14 to Saturday, June 18, the Royal Yashi Valley race is about to kick off. A total of five days of racing will take turns to present a wonderful horse racing feast for horse lovers around the world.
The Royal Ass Valley tournament has a long history of eight world-renowned international first-class competitions, including the Queen Anne Championship, the Royal Seat Championship, the St James's Palace Championship, the Prince of Wales Gold Medal, the Yashi Valley Gold Cup, and the Platinum Jubilee Championship (formerly the Diamond Jubilee Championship), which was renamed this year to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne.

Just as many of Britain's traditions and activities have survived for hundreds of years, the Royal Jockey Club in Yashi Valley has been around for over 300 years. As one of the UK's most high-profile social events every summer, the jockey club attracts the attention of the sports, horse racing and fashion worlds around the world every year.
Due to the close ties between the Ascott Jockey Club and the British Royal Family, not only the members of the royal family, Queen Elizabeth II will personally present the winner with a trophy, so the horse race will be crowned with the title of "Royal". Today's Queen is not only a good horse rider herself, but also loves horse racing, except for the 2005 racecourse overhaul and 2020 due to the impact of the epidemic, the Queen will bring members of the royal family to attend the Yashi Valley Jockey Club every year.
In a commemorative year like the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne, will the Queen attend the Royal Yashi Valley Jockey Club 2022? Let's look forward to it!

130 million! The Uk's Yashi Valley Racecourse will set a record total prize money for this year's race
It is understood that in 2022, the total prize money for the flat and obstacle courses held at the Yashi Valley Racecourse in the United Kingdom will increase to a record high of 15.64 million pounds, equivalent to about 130 million yuan.
In 2019, Yashi Valley Racecourse announced that it would increase the prize money for many of its major events in 2020, but this plan was ultimately not implemented due to the sudden outbreak of the new crown epidemic. As the epidemic eases, as 2022 approaches, Yashi Valley Racecourse has once again put plans to increase prize money on the agenda.
