What is Champions Day?

It's the last big day of the flat racing season, held at Ascot every October. It's officially called the Qatar British Champions Day, which is what our “QRBC” race names are short for. It has some of the richest races in Britain, like the Champion Stakes and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, so the best horses of the year all run on the same afternoon.
