When is the King George VI 2024? Ascot date, start time, runners and betting

One of the big races of the season.

Ascot is the setting as leading middle-distance horses slug it out for the prestigious King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes crown.

The Group 1 contest over 12 furlongs provides a clash of the generations between the Classic contenders and their battle-hardened older rivals, with a huge top prize worth £708,875 on the line.

Hukum – a full brother to Baaeed – was the first past the post in last season’s renewal and it proved to be the final – and biggest – victory of his career before heading to stud.

You can run the rule over our King George VI odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.
