Champions Day – Ascot
Saturday 19th October

Champions Day is the ultimate race day and the finale of the British Flat racing season. Ascot Racecourse plays host to Britain’s richest raceday which sees the very best horses, trainers and jockeys step out onto the hallowed turf for one final, thrilling showdown.

With over £4 million in prize money up for grabs, and world-class racing guaranteed, QIPCO British Champions Day must have a place on every fan’s bucket list. The meeting has seen the likes of Frankel, Cracksman, Stradivarius and Trueshan all sprint to victory on the hallowed Ascot turf, cementing its place as the finest day of racing anywhere in Britain throughout the calendar. 2023 was extra-special, as we said goodbye to Frankie Dettori, who departed from the scene with a fairytale farewell on King Of Steel in the Champion Stakes.
