Channel 4 Racing with the QIPCO British Champions
The QIPCO British Champions Series will conclude the at the Ascot Racecourse on Saturday 19th October with the event shown live for the first time by Channel 4 Racing.
The third annual QIPCO British Champions Day is the climax of a 35-race series at ten British racecourses which began at Newmarket in May with the first Classic race of the season, the QIPCO 2,000 Guineas and concludes with 5 Championship races and a £3.4 million prize pot.
During the series there has been a television audience of over 25 million viewers, as well as three-quarters of a million spectators at the racecourses and more than 200 horses who have taken part in the Series over the last five months.
A stellar international cast of equine stars is set to line up on the day, with one horse looking to inherit the crown won last year by Frankel, one of the greatest thoroughbred racehorses of all time, by winning the £1.3million QIPCO Champion Stakes at 4.05pm.
There are five Championship categories and all five finals will be broadcast live on Channel 4 which begins its coverage at 8am on Saturday 19th October with the Morning Line, followed by three hours of live coverage from 1.30pm.
BBC Radio 5 live sports extra is also broadcasting from Ascot Racecourse between 12.30pm and 5pm.
