5 Horses to Watch out for at Champions Day, Ascot
The fourth QIPCO British Champions Day will get underway this Saturday, October 18th to mark the finale of the European Flat racing season. With an overall prize of £3.75 million, it is the richest raceday in the British calendar, consisting of 5 different races.
We’ve put together a list of Ascot betting tips for our top
5 favourites in this year’s competition:
Ascot 1:45pm –
British Champions Long Distance Cup
Name: Leading Light
Age: 4
Jockey: Joseph O’Brien
Competing in the first of five races, Leading Light is a
clear favourite for Ascot’s opener. Despite meeting with defeat in the Irish
Leger, this four-year-old beauty has an impressive past, including a gold cup
win at Ascot back in June.
Name: Forgotten
Rules
Age: 4
Jockey: Pat Smullen
Perhaps a little less known than other contenders within this list, Forgotten Rules is certainly the ‘dark horse’ of the competition. With a terrific performance in the Punchestown race and an impressive display of speed at Galway, this Irish challenger has lots of potential.
Name: Estimate
Age: 5
Jockey: Ryan Moore
Odds: 11/2
Rivalling both Leading Light and Forgotten Rules in the British Champions Long Distance Cup, the Queen’s horse Estimate is the one to watch this year. She is a previous winner of the Ascot Gold Cup and won the Doncaster Cup last week.
Ascot 3:30pm – Queen Elizabeth II Stakes
Name: Integral
Age: 4
Jockey: Ryan Moore
Another favourite in the competition, Integral comes from a family of winners, with her mother and grandmother both winning Group 1 races under the direction of Sir Michael Stoute. Taking into consideration the recent rainfall at Ascot, this filly could be ideally placed after winning a Group One at Newmarket on soft ground back in July.
Ascot 4:05pm – Champion
Stakes
Name: Pether’s Moon
Age: 4
Jockey: Richard Hughes
Priced at 16/1 in the QIPCO Champions Stakes, Pether’s
Moon is certainly one to look out with a previous win at Ascot in the Group 3
Cumberland Lodge Stakes. Although he’s up against the likes of Cirrus Des
Aigles, Free Eagle and Noble Mission, the conditions may well work in his
favour as he is a strong performer on soft ground.
