Royal Ascot ready for So You ThinkThe horses are almost a secondary attraction for a significant number of Royal Ascot's racegoers, but there is one who will simply demand their attention next Wednesday.

Arnold will fly to Britain on Sunday to ride Star Witness, the favourite, in the King's Stand Stakes at Ascot on Tuesday and possibly in the Golden Jubilee Stakes four days later, too.
