Royal Ascot Day 5 Tips: Saturday's Best Bets Including 9/4 & 4/1 Shots
The last day of the 2025 Royal Ascot festival takes place on Saturday as punters gather for the final seven races of the iconic flat racing event.
Saturday comes with one Group 1 contest, the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, alongside one Group 2 and one Group 3 race, with those three supported by the listed Chesham Stakes and the Wokingham Stakes Heritage Handicap.
But the undeniable headline race is the Jubilee Stakes, a race that has attracted international interest in the past. Don't blink or you could miss the Group 1 race, which is run over six furlongs and goes off at 3.40pm.
It's Lazzat who is the early 11/4 favourite for that one with horse racing betting sites, with Rebel's Romance offered at 9/4 in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes as Royal Ascot concludes for 2025 with yet more top-quality racing.
Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Betting Tips
The final Group 1 race of the festival is run over six furlongs and features horses aged four and over.
Khaadem has won the last two edition of this race, shocking the racing world in 2023 when charging home as an 80/1.
However, this year's victor is likely to come from a little higher in the market with expectations high for a good performance from French sprinter Lazzat.
The four-year-old will be making his debut in England at Ascot, having won on his first six starts on home soil, including the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville last August.
More recently, the colt finished fourth in the Prix Altipan and ninth in the Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin in December, though both these contests were over a mile, and he looks far better as a sprinter, so should suit the Ascot trip.
However, with below-par performances on both occasions outside of France, backing him at 11/4 probably doesn't represent value on such an unknown quantity.
Further back, Inisherin is an interesting contender having won the Duke Of York Clipper Stakes in May. The four-year-old won the Commonwealth Cup here in 2024, and experience could tell.
The horse is priced at around 4/1 with the top Royal Ascot betting sites, so an each-way wager presents far more value than the favourite in the biggest race of the day.

Hardwicke Stakes Tips
Previous favourite Kalpana withdrew from this one in midweek, meaning Rebel Romance has moved to the top of the market with various betting sites.
The seven-year-old has two wins already this season – one in Qatar and another in the Yorkshire Cup Stakes in May – as well as a fourth-placed finish in the Group 1 Dubai Sheema Classic in April.
The Godolphin horse is a seven-time Group 1 winner and was clear favourite in the Yorkshire Cup, winning by a head on that day in good, sunny conditions.
Though he was challenged perhaps more than expected that day, similar conditions over a shorter run could suit the favourite, who is riding once again under Yorkshire Cup-winning jockey William Buick.
With second favourite Al Raffa priced at 5/1 after third and fourth finishes in Group 2 and Group 1 contests so far this season, it's hard to look past Rebel Romance in the Royal Ascot odds based on form, though some movement is expected before race day.

Even the most knowledgeable punter can lose a bet, so always stick to a budget and never chase your losses.
It's particularly important not to get carried away by any free bets or casino offers you might receive, both of which are available in abundance on gambling sites, but must be approached with caution.
You can stay in control by making use of the responsible gambling tools offered, such as deposit limits, loss limits, self-exclusion and time-outs.

Fan gets three-year ban for racially abusing player on Instagram
June 20 (Reuters) - A fan who racially abused former Tamworth striker Chris Wreh after the fifth-tier club's FA Cup defeat to Tottenham Hotspur has been banned from attending matches for three years, the Football Association said on Friday. Harry Dunbar, of John Bunyan Close in Whiteley, admitted to sending a racist message to Wreh, who is Black, via Instagram after losing a bet on the match, which Tamworth lost 3-0 to Tottenham in the FA Cup third round on 12 January. Dunbar, 20, was sentenced at Portsmouth Magistrates Court on Wednesday. In addition to the banning order, Dunbar will serve a 12-month Community Order of 200 hours unpaid work and 10 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement days. "We welcome the decision of Portsmouth Magistrates' Court to impose a three-year football banning order on Harry Dunbar," the FA said in a statement. "We hope that this ruling sends a clear message that incidents of discrimination – whether in person or online – will not be tolerated, and that strong action will be taken against perpetrators of this unacceptable behaviour." Wreh refused to play for the National League side following the incident. He wrote on X, opens new tab, two days after the match that though he had the support of manager Andy Peaks, he was "disappointed" the club had not made a public statement condemning the abuse he had suffered.

Amiloc holds off Zahraan in ‘Ascot Derby'
An impressive winner of Goodwood's Cocked Hat Stakes, the fact the son of Postponed is a gelding meant he had to bypass the Derby at Epsom for the race often referred to as the 'Ascot Derby'. Ryan Moore tried to slip the field on eventual third Galveston, but Rossa Ryan aboard the 11-8 market leader never let that duo too far out of his sights and after sending Amiloc to the front with a furlong to run, had enough in reserve to hold off Johnny Murtagh's Zahraan by three-quarters of a length. ALL HEART! AMILOC WINS THE KING EDWARD VII STAKES! #ROYALASCOT — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) June 20, 2025 Beckett said: 'He did it the hard way a little bit, we thought Galveston would probably go forward and it did work out like that. 'I didn't really want to run him, to tell you the truth. I didn't think he'd like the ground, but I was wrong about that. 'I don't think we've ever had one win five straight, well I can't think of one! I wasn't confident because of the ground. We haven't had a great week. 'Rossa was great, he rode him with plenty of confidence and it set up well for us, I will say that, but sometimes it just does.' Amilco halved in price for the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes and asked about future plans, Beckett said: 'I think ground will dictate, I wouldn't be afraid to take anybody on with him on slower ground, so he is in everything. 'He's going to take a bit of getting over today by the look of him; if it came up soft next month (for the King George), or with a bit of juice, I'm sure we'd be here.' Of Zahraan, who runs in the colours of the late Aga Khan, Murtagh said: 'He lost nothing in defeat. Ben (Coen) just said they quickened up from four out and just had him off the bridle a little bit earlier than ideal. I'm not saying he wants soft ground, but a little bit more juice in it would help him travel a bit longer. 'Finishing second here is definitely more frustrating as a trainer than as a jockey! It's more nerve-wracking beforehand, and it's gutting – you know how hard it is to win here. You see all all the people come with their best horses, and we thought we had one and we still do, but he just wasn't good enough today. 'You'd love to think he might be an Arc horse one day, and the connections would love that race. He's a bit to go to get there, but he might.' He added: 'I was really privileged to ride in these colours and you forget what a privilege it is until you go last week and see the Derby, which is the greatest race in the world and was run in honour of His Highness the Aga Khan, and for me to deliver now we have to find the winners on the big days.'

Charles and Camilla's hopes of Royal Ascot winner dashed
Charles and Camilla watched the fast-paced race from the royal box and were glued to monitors, with the King animated in the closing stages of the mile-long sprint. He bobbed on the spot as if willing on his jockey Warren Fentiman in the aptly named Sandringham Stakes but Purple Rainbow, who was not fancied by the bookies, did not challenge the front runners. The couple looked up in the closing stages to watch the race as it came past the stands but Never Let Go crossed the line first and the King and his wife were left opened mouthed. Charles and Camilla will have to wait another day to try to double their tally of Royal Ascot winners. The late Queen was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds and had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign. Charles and Camilla have taken on her stable of horses and enjoyed their first Royal Ascot winner in 2023 when their horse Desert Hero triumphed in the King George V Stakes.
