Horse Racing - Champion Stakes

A highlight of the autumn racing schedule in Britain for generations, this is a race staged at Ascot racecourse in Berkshire, England over one mile and 1 furlong (2,004 metres). It is open to three-year-olds and older. It was run at Newmarket until being transferred to Ascot in 2011 upon the creation of the annual Britih Champions Day each October. It has been a Group 1 event ever since race grading was created in 1971.
