in which year was the Prince of Wales Stakes at Ascot last run as a Group 3, and indeed left-handed?
Your unnecessary use of the word Ascot has me smelling a rat. There is an Ascot racecourse in Perth, Australia, but I ain’t yet ascertained which direction they race, nor whether they have a Prince of Wales race.
