THE ULTIMATE RACEDAY QIPCO British
Champions Day 2019

QIPCO British Champions Day is the Ultimate Raceday and the finale of the British Flat racing season. Ascot racecourse is set alight on the nation’s richest ever raceday, as champions are crowned kings and queens of the turf.

The best horses and jockeys from across the globe will be in action to compete for a record-breaking £4.35 million purse as they bid to follow in the hoof prints of former Series stars.

The Ultimate raceday also hosts unbeatable action off the track; with a glitzy opening ceremony, Champion Flat Jockey coronation and a huge After Party; which this year features a DJ set by legendary duo Basement Jaxx.
