Re: Horse Racing
NEW 'CHAMPIONS WEEKEND' CREATED.

Quote:
Newmarket's Future Champions Day is to be moved to the Friday before Qipco British Champions Day at Ascot in 2014 to create a 'champions weekend'.
The move will see six Group One events take place in just 24 hours, with £4.5million in prize money up for grabs.
In another boost, Ascot's Fillies' And Mares' Stakes on Champions Day has been upgraded to Grade One status.
Future Champions Day will now see three Grade One races, the Dewhurst, the Fillies' Mile and the Middle Park, supported by the Challenge Stakes, the Cornwallis (which has been moved from Ascot) and the Darley Stakes.
