Horse Racing - Clarence House Chase

A two miles and one furlong chase held each January at Ascot racecourse in Berkshire, England, this was originally a two mile handicap event until 2007.
It was abandoned due to frost and then fog in its first two years. In 2007 it was promoted to Grade 1 status and the distance was extended by a furlong, and it ceased to be run as a handicap.
In 2013, 2017, 2023 and 2024 the race was staged at Cheltenham after the Ascot meeting was called off due to bad weather.
