fast-improving quality of local horses, while Dubai’s world-class
facilities are perfect for international runners to use as a base for
the flourishing racing in the region. A good example of the benefits of
wintering in the Dubai sun is Mawj. The Saeed Bin Suroor-trained filly
was two from two at Meydan Racecourse before returning to the UK and
winning the prestigious Group 1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket.</p><p>The Dubai Racing Carnival spans the entire season at Meydan, from
November to March, giving international trainers, jockeys and horses the
chance to compete in Dubai for much longer than was previously the
case.</p><p>Purses for the Dubai Racing Carnival 2023-2024 are up by AED11
million – a 27% increase from the total for the 2022-23 season. There
will be three valuable feature race nights; starting in December
(AED4.7m), then January (AED10m), and Super Saturday in March (AED10m);
which brings the total purses for the three meetings to AED24.7m. The
minimum prize money per non-stakes races is AED165,000; the same as
pre-pandemic levels. The flagship Dubai World Cup night brings the
curtain down on the Dubai season and retains its enormous pool of prize
money of US$30.5 million (AED112 million).</p><p>The Dubai Racing Carnival encompasses 14 meetings, excluding Dubai
World Cup day, with each meeting staging seven to nine races. Racing
takes place on Fridays, except for Super Saturday and the Dubai World
Cup, which are on Saturdays.</p><p> (<b>SELECTIONS WILL BE POSTED EVERY FRIDAY FROM FRI JAN 5TH 2024)<br /></b></p>Jerry bankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02264216123517710663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6144705766610682717.post-32414061649337236662023-10-20T12:30:00.005+01:002023-10-21T18:10:02.110+01:00British Champions Day Preview (Sat 21st Oct 2023 )<p><b style="color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMjQ3TKH74Da6VrVC-2NemaAn1KiMJLqwJDzjVOzvTiWyQMA98V1hl7YbcuXOIsr8RBGxEvo128Kg5uFF8kPBTgbsioa47qQV1FNhklE7VKPZ_3gPru20UzfeVMd-V1iJMulJjjF_jt-9hJZJ9FgkhCXHHPSd8esdImRwoNoIsMKroMDbVXisL4wsMEGU/s4032/IMG_1622.JPEG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMjQ3TKH74Da6VrVC-2NemaAn1KiMJLqwJDzjVOzvTiWyQMA98V1hl7YbcuXOIsr8RBGxEvo128Kg5uFF8kPBTgbsioa47qQV1FNhklE7VKPZ_3gPru20UzfeVMd-V1iJMulJjjF_jt-9hJZJ9FgkhCXHHPSd8esdImRwoNoIsMKroMDbVXisL4wsMEGU/w240-h320/IMG_1622.JPEG" width="240" /></a></b></div><b style="color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">British Champions Day</b><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">is a</span><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-size: 14px;"> </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoroughbred" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #3366cc; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Thoroughbred">thoroughbred</a><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">horse race meeting held at</span><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-size: 14px;"> </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascot_Racecourse" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #3366cc; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Ascot Racecourse">Ascot Racecourse</a><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">in October each year since 2011, which acts as the end of season highlight fixture of British</span><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-size: 14px;"> </span><a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_racing" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #3366cc; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Flat racing">flat racing</a><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">.

honour features some of the most highly acclaimed horses of the sport's
recent history.</p><p>The event was formed as the result of an amalgamation of two separate races at Ascot which were established in 1946 and 1948.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_George_VI_and_Queen_Elizabeth_Stakes#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup> The first of these, named after <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_George_VI" title="King George VI">King George VI</a>, was a 2-mile contest for three-year-olds held in October. The second, in honour of his wife, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth_The_Queen_Mother" title="Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother">Queen Elizabeth</a>,
was a one and a half-mile event staged in July. The idea was conceived
by Major John Crocker Bulteel, the Clerk of the Course at Ascot, who
wanted to create an important international race over one and a half
miles for horses aged three or older. The inaugural running of the
combined race took place on 21 July 1951. In its first year, to
commemorate the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_of_Britain" title="Festival of Britain">Festival of Britain</a>, it was titled the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Festival of Britain Stakes.
</p><p>During the early part of its history the King George VI and Queen
Elizabeth Stakes was not commercially sponsored. Its first period of
sponsorship started in 1972, when it began a long association with the
diamond company <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Beers" title="De Beers">De Beers</a>. The word "Diamond" was added to the race's title when permission for its inclusion was given by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_II" title="Elizabeth II">Queen Elizabeth II</a> in 1975. It became known as the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth
Diamond Stakes, and De Beers continued to back the event until 2006. </p><p>It is now
Britain's second richest horse race, with a purse exceeded only by that
of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsom_Derby" title="Epsom Derby">The Derby</a>.This years race is worth 1.25 million .<br /></p><p>
The King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes became part of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeders%27_Cup_Challenge" title="Breeders' Cup Challenge">Breeders' Cup Challenge</a> series in 2011. The winner now earns an automatic invitation to compete in the same year's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeders%27_Cup_Turf" title="Breeders' Cup Turf">Breeders' Cu</a>p Turf.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_George_VI_and_Queen_Elizabeth_Stakes#cite_note-4">[4]</a></sup></p><p><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4"> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</sup></p><div class="RC-meetingDay__raceDescription">

Approximately 500 horses race across the five days. Eighteen Group races, eight of them Group 1, are staged each year and are broadcast to audiences in almost 200 territories around the world.</span></div></span></div><p></p><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-size: 15px; text-size-adjust: auto;">Ascot employees increase by more than 6,500 temporary staff, with over 33,500 items of temporary furniture and 20,000 flowers and shrubs grown especially for the Royal Meeting.</span></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-size: 15px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-size: 15px; text-size-adjust: auto;">There are four enclosures in total at Royal Ascot, three of them open to the public. The Royal Enclosure is the most prestigious, with access strictly limited. First-time applicants must apply to the Royal Enclosure Office and gain sponsorship from someone who has attended the Royal Enclosure for at least four years. Existing members are sent invitations by Her Majesty's Representative to request badges each year. Badges are hand written and can only be worn by the named person.</span><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-:0_5-1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: auto;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascot_Racecourse#cite_note-:0-5" style="color: blue; text-decoration: none;">[5]</a></sup><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-size: 15px; text-size-adjust: auto;">Colours of badges vary for each day of the Royal Meeting.</span></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-size: 15px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-size: 15px; text-size-adjust: auto;">The annual Royal Meeting takes place over five days, each with a unique offering of racing and atmosphere.

9th running of the All Weather Championships ,though quite
disappointing turn out this year with only six runners declared for both
mile & middle distance Championships.</p><p>The main race the
Easter Classic (Middle Distance Championship over 10 furlongs ) is very
poor turn out for £200K race.In my opinion, don't think switching finals
day to Newcastle has helped as they seem struggle to get runners in lot
these championship races .</p><p>Going through the card ,not easy to
find value in these small fields ,though the All Weather Marathon
Championship does look interesting race, with quite good turn out with 9
runners declared .<br /></p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /></p><div class="RC-meetingDay__raceDescription">
