All Ascot Gold Cup Winners By Year Since 1807 (Updated)

Steeped in over two centuries of tradition, the Ascot Gold Cup is one of the most prestigious races in the British flat racing calendar. First contested in 1807, this Group 1 race challenges the finest thoroughbreds over a demanding distance of two miles, three furlongs and 210 yards, making it a true test of speed, stamina, and class. 

The Gold Cup, traditionally held on Ladies’ Day, has crowned some of racing’s most legendary champions, from Yeats’ unprecedented four consecutive victories to the modern-day phenomenon Stradivarius.

For those keen to follow the history of this illustrious race, we’ve compiled a complete and updated list of winners dating back to its inception in 1807.

Who Holds the Record for the Most Ascot Gold Cup Wins

Lester Piggott dominates the record books with 11 Gold Cup victories. His achievement spans from his first win aboard Zarathustra in 1957 to his final triumph with Ardross in 1982.

Perhaps his most remarkable achievement came with Sagaro, whom he steered to three consecutive victories between 1975 and 1977 – a feat that wouldn’t be matched until Yeats’ four wins in a row three decades later.
