In 16 The QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes racing terms the day is still in its infancy having been first run in 2011 and yet, in that time it has become firmly established as one of the world's greatest racedays thanks to the tremendous support of our 21 The Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (sponsored by QIPCO) sponsors QIPCO, who have been with us from the start. It is thanks to their generosity that today boasts a card which is unrivalled in the British racing calendar, with an unprecedented four Group 1 contests and a 27 The QIPCO Champion Stakes total prize fund in excess of £4 million, making it by far and away the most valuable in the UK. 33 The Balmoral Handicap (sponsored by QIPCO) QIPCO British Champions Series shines a light on the finest racing and there have been some brilliant performances throughout the season. Stradivarius, a real crowd favourite, who is again unbeaten this season, picked up his second million pound bonus in winning the Gold Cup, Qatar Goodwood Cup and Weatherby’s Hamilton Lonsdale Cup. Enable 36 The Flat Jockeys’ Championships confirmed her place among the greats with victories in the Coral-Eclipse, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth QIPCO Stakes and the Darley Yorkshire Oaks.

We also said farewell to the retiring Blue 42 Records of winning trainers on QIPCO British Champions Day Point, but not before his back-to-back sprint wins during Royal Ascot. We look forward to five incredibly competitive Group races and welcoming a host of this season’s top competitors today. 48 QIPCO British Champions Series Ambassadors As well as thrilling action on track, Champions Day is also the occasion on which we crown the champions of the Flat and we are delighted to see Oisin Murphy, who is retained by Qatar Racing, be crowned Champion Jockey at just 49 Movember – QIPCO British Champions Series Charity Partner 24 years of age. Oisin is a prodigious riding talent and it is wonderful to see him follow up last year’s tremendous season, when he won nine international Group 1s, with a runaway success in this year’s Championship. In the 51 Background to QIPCO British Champions Series and Apprentice Championship, Cieren Fallon Jnr and Sean Davis have been neck and neck throughout much of the season and, regardless of the final tallies, both look set to have very bright futures. QIPCO British Champions Day Excitingly, the race to be crowned Champion Owner will go down to the wire with Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, 52 About QIPCO Holding who has seen his wonderful colt, Battaash, blitz a trail this summer. However, it is conceivable that the Coolmore syndicate, in whose colours Magical runs, Prince Khalid Abdullah and the royal blue of Godolphin could overhaul him 54 Tickets and travel details to Ascot by the end of the afternoon. Beyond the racing action there are some brilliant other attractions on course today. We are delighted to welcome our charity partner, Movember, to Champions Day to raise awareness of their amazing work. There will be autograph signings with our ambassadors Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Adam Gemili, fresh from their medal success at the World Athletics Championships in Doha. The fan zone is once again on course where you can test out your jockey skills and meet a racehorse and, of course, there is a fantastic after-party headlined by Basement Jaxx.

  • Top Jockey, Trainers and Owner Awards up for Grabs at Royal Ascot
    TOP JOCKEY, TRAINER AND OWNER AWARDS UP FOR GRABS AT ROYAL ASCOT 15th June 2020 Awards for leading jockey, trainer and owner will once again be distributed at this year’s Royal Ascot. Frankie Dettori claimed the QIPCO Leading Jockey Award at the Royal Meeting in 2019 with seven victories, thanks largely to a superb four-timer on day three. The 49-year-old looks set to have another excellent book of rides this year as he aims for a seventh title at the meeting. With Jamie Spencer sidelined through injury, Ryan Moore is the only other jockey riding this week to be previously crowned top jockey at Royal Ascot, having claimed the most recent of eight meeting titles in 2018. Due to the protective measures in place this week, there will be no transferable armband for the leading jockey throughout the meeting. Aidan O’Brien received the QIPCO Royal Ascot Leading Trainer Award for a 10th time in 2019 and looks to have his string in top form once again. Other previous winners who will be hoping to have a good week include Sir Michael Stoute, John Gosden, Mark Johnston and Saeed bin Suroor. Paul Cole, who was leading trainer at Royal Ascot in 1994, will aim to create history by becoming the first British-based trainer with a joint-licence to win at the meeting, having gone into partnership with his son Oliver at the start of the season. Simon and Ed Crisford, another father and son combination, will also be looking to saddle the ground-breaking first.

  • World's Top Races of 2017 Dominated by Champions
    WORLD’S TOP RACES OF 2017 DOMINATED BY CHAMPIONS SERIES CONTESTS Four QIPCO British Champions Series races were today named as being among the top ten run anywhere around the world last year with Cracksman, the emphatic winner of the QIPCO Champion Stakes on QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot in October, rated the top horse in Europe. The announcement was made at the Longines-sponsored World's Best Racehorse and World's Best Horse Race Ceremony in London this afternoon which saw QIPCO British Champions Series races account for almost a quarter of the world’s top 100 races of 2017. The King George VI & Queen Elizabeth at Ascot in July, sponsored by QIPCO, was rated the top race in the UK and the second best race in the world in 2017, while the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot, the Juddmonte International Stakes at York, and QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot all also made the top ten (jointly rated 7th in the world). Thrillingly, Cracksman, rated the world’s third best racehorse courtesy of his seven-length demolition of the field in the QIPCO Champion Stakes on Britain’s richest raceday, remains in training in 2018 along with his stable companion Enable (rated 5th). Her 2017 Series’ triumphs included the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth (sponsored by QIPCO), the Investec Oaks and Darley Yorkshire Oaks, before landing the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and there is the exciting prospect of the pair clashing in the 2018 QIPCO British Champions Series. In addition to the John Gosden-trained pair, a further three horses who lit up the 2017 QIPCO British Champions Series make the world’s top ten, including Ulysses (rated 6th), who won the Coral-Eclipse and subsequently landed the Juddmonte International, together with the Godolphin stars of Harry Angel (rated equal 7th) and victor in the 32Red Sprint Cup and Queen Anne winner, Ribchester (equal 9th) who also make the top ten of the World’s best horses.
