THE Qipco Champion Stakes is set to be the richest race run in Britain this year, with £1.2 million up for grabs on October 16.
With prize-money for this year’s Qipco British Champions Day totalling £4m, the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes will be run for in excess of £1m and the three remaining Pattern races on the card will each offer a prize fund of £500,000.
In all, prize money across the showpiece fixture will increase by 60 per cent on 2020 levels, which were impacted by the Covid pandemic.
John Gosden has enjoyed Champions Day success with the likes of Stradivarius and Cracksman and said: “We are very grateful to Qipco and British Champions Series for putting up such a valuable raceday. It is so important for British racing that there is internationally competitive prize money on offer for owners who are the bedrock of our sport.
“Champions Day has quickly become one of the most important racedays in the global racing calendar and with such generous prize money, I am sure that it will continue to thrive.”
