History of the Race
This six furlong (1,200 metres) contest provides the grand finale to the QIPCO British Champions Series Sprint category, with prize money of £250,000.
To all intents and purposes it is a brand new race - it may have taken over from the Group 2 Diadem Stakes, previously run at Ascot’s late September meeting, but it has new conditions which make it a Group 1 race in all but name and will change its profile completely. Run over exactly the same course and distance as the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, the QIPCO British Champions Sprint Stakes will provide flat racing’s speed merchants with one final chance to shine on the British stage and stake their claim to sprinting greatness.
