A double on the final day helped Mick Kinane become the leading rider at Royal Ascot for the fourth time.
The Irishman, who turns 46 next week, won the Golden Jubilee Stakes on Cape Of Good Hope and the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes on Notable Guest.
He had a treble on Wednesday on Azamour (Prince of Wales's Stakes), Beautyandthebeast (Sandringham Handicap) and Peeress (Windsor Forest).
His other win came on Jedburgh in the Buckingham Palace Stakes.
"The boys in the weighing room have been giving me a bit of stick because I had my first winner at the meeting in 1982," he said after receiving the London Clubs Trophy.
Sir Michael Stoute, who teamed up with Kinane to score with Peeress and Notable Guest, was top trainer with four victories, just ahead of John Dunlop.
"It is a great honour and good for all of the stable staff," said Stoute. "It is always hard to win a race at this meeting."
