NBC Sports Presents Daily Live Coverage of Royal Ascot Horse Racing Meet Beginning Tomorrow, June 19

NBC Sports presents daily live coverage of the Royal Meeting in Ascot, Berkshire, England - one of the most prestigious horse racing meets in the world - beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, June 19, at 8:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN. Daily telecasts of the full five-day Royal meeting will air on NBCSN through Friday, June 22, and the event culminates with the first-ever NBC broadcast of the race this Saturday, June 23, at 9 a.m. ET. In total, NBC Sports Group will present 22 hours of coverage over the five days.

Royal Ascot is one of the world's most valuable horse racing events, attracting many of the world's finest racehorses. The event features 30 races, including eight at the world championship "Group One" level. Highlighting the American contingent is trainer Wesley Ward, who has won nine races at Royal Ascot over the years. He is scheduled to bring 10 horses to Ascot this year, highlighted by Lady Aurelia, who is looking to win her third straight race at The Royal Meeting. She races in the King's Stand on Tuesday during NBCSN's first day of coverage.

The Royal Meeting is the center of the British social season and a pivotal week in the calendar of the Royal Family, who arrive every day by the world famous "Royal Procession" - with the first carriage carrying The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

NBC News' Dylan Dreyer makes her Royal Ascot debut on Friday and Saturday, alongside Nick Luck, who will host coverage for all five days. On Friday morning, June 22, Dreyer will report live from Berkshire on TODAY.
