Since its inception in 2011, British Champions Day has emerged as a significant event in the UK’s horseracing calendar, marking the conclusion of the British flat racing season as the “Ultimate Raceday.”
Hosted by Ascot in October, this event boasts the title of the wealthiest day in British racing, with prize money surpassing £4 million spread across various races.
