Monday evening, the night before Royal Ascot 2015. And the royal windsor racecourse evening meeting is not taking it's responsibility of offering some quality racing lightly.
Seven races, all with a good field of runners was served up to a crowd who basked in the mid June evening sun.

| Edward Greatrex on board Scarlet Sash win the opener |
The experinced, to the not so. Jockeys were on show in a quality apprentice race, which saw Edward Greatrex another quality rider from the Andrew Balding school, ride the winner of the first on the Lambourn trained Henry Candys' Scarlet Sash.
Then came man in form at present, Frankie Dettori. His only ride of the evening, Richard Hannon trained Alkhor also owned by the jockeys retained partnership of Al Sahqab Racing, gave Frankie hot off his victory in France on the John Gosden trained Star of Sevillein the Prix de Diane the day before a good start to the week.
The horse still learning his trade won by 3/4 of a length and looks a possible contender for the future.
