Summary
Royal Ascot 2026, reviewed through advanced sectional data. Total Performance Data analyst Adam Mills joins In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale to break down the meeting's biggest performances — finishing speeds, top speed, stride length and stride frequency — and what the numbers reveal about the road to the 2026 Breeders' Cup at Keeneland. We dig into the puzzling Queen Anne Stakes and Ten Bob Tony's 50/1 shock, explain exactly what "finishing speed" measures and why US dirt and European turf races run so differently, then turn to the Win-and-You're-In angles: Mission Central in the King Charles III Stakes, Ombudsman's monster Prince of Wales's Stakes repeat, and the gamble of the week — Bacio and Wesley Ward's electric sprint in the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Throughout, the conversation is about cross-form clues: which Ascot winners actually project to Keeneland, and which might get found out around a bend. A must-listen for handicappers, data-driven bettors, and anyone tracking the 2026 Breeders' Cup form lines.
