Last year, the day was rated the best raceday in Europe with two of the contests, the QIPCO Champion Stakes, won by Europe’s best horse, Almanzor, and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (sponsored by QIPCO) ranked amongst the top ten races in the World. For this year’s renewal there is an additional £100,000 in prize money for the QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup, bringing the total prize purse to a record breaking £4.3 million. We are grateful for the enduring and committed support of our sponsor QIPCO whose generosity allows us to stage such an incredible day’s racing. Champions Day is also the only time during the season that a British card features four Group 1 races and a Group 2, and the 242 horses entered for this year’s day represent a glittering cast which is brimming with quality. Many of the horses have already shone during this year’s QIPCO British Champions Series, which encompasses the top 35 races across the British summer flat racing season. Amongst them is the hero of Royal Ascot, Big Orange, last year’s Champions Day winner, The Tin Man, together with Enable, the dual Classic winner, King George heroine and the highest rated horse in Europe. Other proven stars are due to line up including Ribchester, as well as some of the new talents to have burst onto the scene this year including Harry Angel, Barney Roy and Stradivarius. There are also 30 exciting entries from France including last year’s QIPCO Champion Stakes winner, Almanzor, Prix de Diane winner, Senga, and Prix du Jockey Club winner Brametot. With so many exciting clashes in prospect on the track, we look forward to welcoming you to Ascot for QIPCO British Champions Day on Saturday 21 October.

Winter has carried all before her this campaign and made it four Group 1 wins in succession with her success in the Qatar Nassau Stakes last week, having already struck twice in the Series in the QIPCO 1000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes. Her versatility regards distance means she has three Group 1 options - the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (Sponsored by QIPCO), QIPCO Champion Stakes and QIPCO British Champions Fillies’ & Mares’ Stakes. Churchill, winner of the QIPCO 2000 Guineas and Irish equivalent, has two - the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (Sponsored by QIPCO) and QIPCO Champion Stakes. His next likely race, the Juddmonte International Stakes at York, could help determine their paths. BARNEY ROY - QIPCO CHAMPION STAKES | Trainer: Richard Hannon Richard Hannon cannot wait for next year, when he believes Barney Roy will be even more the finished article and perhaps go on to show himself to be a champion over a mile and a half. Before that, though, there are more prizes to plunder this year with the St James’s Palace Stakes winner, who was perhaps unfortunate when runner-up in the QIPCO 2000 Guineas and Coral-Eclipse in between. The Juddmonte International Stakes is Barney Roy’s next likely race and then the QIPCO Champion Stakes looks a logical last port of call before 2018. RIBCHESTER - QUEEN ELIZABETH II STAKES (SPONSORED BY QIPCO) | Trainer: Richard Fahey Richard Fahey would love the opportunity to train Ribchester as a five-year-old but, in all likelihood, the triple Group 1 winner will bow out on Champions Day before beginning his second vocation as a stallion. Winner of the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes and Queen Anne Stakes, he suffered a surprise neck defeat at the hands of Here Comes When in the Qatar Sussex Stakes last week but that reverse, in a muddling race run on attritional ground, can be excused. Expect him to bounce back quickly and make a bold bid to go one better than he did in last year’s Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (Sponsored by QIPCO), when he was beaten half a length by the brilliant Minding. HARRY ANGEL - QIPCO BRITISH CHAMPIONS SPRINT STAKES | Trainer: Clive Cox Blue could be the colour on QIPCO British Champions Day because Harry Angel, like Barney Roy and Ribchester, is owned by Godolphin. Clive Cox has pencilled in the brilliant Darley July Cup winner for the 32Red Sprint Cup at Haydock on September 9, followed by the QIPCO British Champions Sprint Stakes. “He’s won his Group 1 and further progress in the department now looks on the cards, probably starting at Haydock (Sprint Cup) and the QIPCO British Champions Sprint Stakes would be another race for him,” Cox said in the aftermath of his emphatic win at Newmarket. Winning jockey Adam Kirby could not stop smiling at Newmarket. “He’s a machine, the best you will see for a long time – I truly believe that.” BIG ORANGE - QIPCO BRITISH CHAMPIONS LONG DISTANCE CUP | Trainer: Michael Bell Big Orange could finish only fifth when contesting this race in 2014, when it was run on heavy ground, but has not looked back since. Now six, and more the finished article, he has looked better than ever this season, winning the Matchbook VIP Henry II Stakes at Sandown and the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot before beating all bar Stradivarius, who was receiving 13lb, when attempting to win a third successive Qatar Goodwood Cup. Good going or faster is considered ideal for Big Orange, although it was on the easy side when he ran so well at Goodwood last week. WHO TOOK MY CROWN? Six horses have attempted back-to-back wins in the QIPCO British Champions Series this season. None have managed repeat triumphs, but four have finished runner-up. Profitable finished second to Lady Aurelia in the King’s Stand Stakes having won the 5f sprint 12 months earlier, while two days later at the meeting Order Of St George lost his Gold Cup crown by a short head to Big Orange. Then, in the Darley July Cup, Limato beat all bar Harry Angel when trying to become a rare dual winner. The sequence continued when Big Orange, attempting a third successive win in the Qatar Goodwood Cup, was overhauled late on by Stradivarius. The other horses to have seen their crowns slip away have been Clever Cookie, sixth in the Betway Yorkshire Cup, and Highland Reel who was fourth in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes(Sponsored by QIPCO).

  • With a Well-Received First-Crop of Yearlings for Heeraat, Mickley Stud Is Looking Forward to the Stallion’S Runners Hitting the Track in the Spring
    Here he comes With a well-received first-crop of yearlings for Heeraat, Mickley Stud is looking forward to the stallion’s runners hitting the track in the spring. Aisling Crowe chats with Richard Kent 48 mickley stud Photo by Emma Berry LL BOODSTOCK investment IS HIGH RISK, but backing a new stallion is at the very top of the “beware” pyramid and should come with a government health warning.A Launching a new stallion onto the market takes nerves of steel, and particularly so when the stud in question is not perhaps located in the more fashionable enclaves of the thoroughbred world and the sire does not command the astronomical covering fee that attracts the attention, and mares, of the industry’s influencers.
