Ascot racecourse was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne, with the first race, "Her Majesty’s Plate" running in August of that year. The first race prize money was just 100 guineas and seven horses competed. However, Ascot was not to remain entirely just royal for long. In 1813, Parliament passed an Act to ensure the racecourse would remain public — even though it sat on royal land — as part of Windsor Park. The racecourse made headlines around the globe with the completion of a major grandstand in 1839 — which cost £10,000 to build \(a huge amount at the time\!\) A century later in 1913, another Parliamentary Act was passed, and this allowed the racecourse to rest in private ownership: establishing the Ascot Authority, which still oversees activities at the course to this day. Whilst further redevelopment took place throughout the years, the most major, in 2004 closed the course entirely. The New Ascot Redevelopment cost £185 million and meant that the course had to be closed for a full 18 months, however the results have been brilliant. Ascot racecourse continues to grow and attract new events and races, and shows no signs of slowing its growth and popularity.
