A star-studded cast remains on course for the 10th running of QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday 17th October after the latest forfeit stage.
This includes a record number of acceptors at this stage for the headline race of the day and the most valuable race this year, the QIPCO Champion Stakes, with 29 standing their ground.
The most valuable raceday in Great Britain this year remains on the cards for a string of headline acts including the world’s highest-rated racehorse, Ghaiyyath, who could take his place in the QIPCO Champion Stakes against Magical, bidding to become the first horse to win a race at three different QIPCO British Champions Days.
Also still engaged are other equine A-Listers including Palace Pier, Kameko, Mishriff and Fancy Blue together with the Arc-bound trio Enable, Love and Stradivarius.
QIPCO British Champions Day features four Group 1 races, a Group 2 and a competitive mile handicap.
In total, 38 Group 1 winners remain entered and, between them, they have accumulated 84 victories at the highest level.
