The British Flat season reaches its spectacular finale this Saturday as British Champions Day returns to Ascot — and there is one final Dream Yard challenge to conquer.
Five Group 1 races. Seven contests. One afternoon to crown the champions of 2026.
From the stamina test of the Long Distance Cup to the speed of the Champions Sprint, the tactical battle of the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes and the headline Champion Stakes, Ascot brings together many of the best horses, trainers and jockeys in Europe.
And that makes it the perfect setting for Dream Yard.
One Day. Seven Races. Every Selection Counts.
Unlike our multi-day festival competitions, British Champions Day is a straight shootout.
Pick your:
7 Horses
1 Trainer
1 Jockey
1 Stable Star
Then see how your selections perform across one of the strongest cards of the entire Flat season.
With championship horses meeting progressive three-year-olds, proven Ascot specialists and international challengers, there are plenty of decisions to make.
Who handles Ascot best?
Which trainers have their horses peaking at the end of the season?
Which jockeys can master the straight and round courses?
And can you find the horses capable of outperforming market expectations?
A Meeting Built for Champions
British Champions Day has quickly established itself as one of the defining fixtures of the racing calendar.
It was here that Frankel completed his unbeaten career with victory in the 2012 Champion Stakes, and the meeting has continued to produce memorable performances from some of the finest racehorses of the modern era.
This year’s programme features five Group 1 contests, covering distances from six furlongs all the way to two miles.
Speed. Stamina. Tactics. Class.
Your Dream Yard will need a little of everything.
