ASCOT QIPCO BRITISH CHAMPIONS DAY

Horse racing is a sporting competition of speed where the participants compete to reach a specific point within the shortest and quickest time. This is no different when it comes to the best of the best at Ascot. This is the perfect place for fashion, luxury, sports and food. The event is a big hit with both bookies and lovers of fashion as well as the rich and famous who often attend Ascot.

The Royal Racecourse was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne. The first ever race to take place on the racecourse was called Her Majesty?s Plate, held on the 11th of August 1711. The race involved seven horses, each weighing no more than 76 kg. The first race was made up of four different heats, each being four miles in length. The racecourse has undertaken a redevelopment of ?185 million and was therefore closed for 20 months to better the stands and viewpoints for the attendees. This was funded by the Allied Irish Bank.

This year?s QIPCO British Championships Day will be the sixth of its kind in this year alone and is also the finale for the European Flat racing season ? which runs from April to October. The event will be taking place on the 15th of October and gates will be open from 10:30 am until 7:30 pm. The enclosures are made up of five different areas; King Edward VII enclosure, Winning Post enclosure, Queen Anne enclosure, Fine Dining and Private Boxes. Betting facilities can be easily accessed on all levels. Other events on the day will include the Parade of the Olympians, book signings by Clare Balding and Jilly Cooper as well as racecourse tours. BBC Radio 2 Dj Sara Cox will be opening the after party once the race has concluded alongside chart-topping DJ Sigala. Free Wi-Fi will be available on the day so you can chat about the event and share your experience.
