Frankel tops the bill at Champions Day

By Victoria Spicer on 18th-Oct-2012



There's a myriad of attractions at QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot racecourse on Saturday - but none more so than Frankel, currently the highest rated racehorse in the world. 

Frankel fever

Frankel takes to the track for what is likely to be his final ever race. The unbeaten superstar of racing is aiming for his 14th career win when he lines up for the QIPCO Champions Stakes.

Now worth more than £100million, he is the most talked about horse in racing, and more than 32,000 people are set to descend on Ascot to witness him in action.

Watch the video tribute to him above. 

Olympians on parade

QIPCO Champions Day will also play host to a number of Olympic and Paralympic equestrian stars. A Team GB parade before racing will include Peter Charles, Ben Maher and Nick Skelton (Show Jumping), Natasha Baker, Sophie Wells, Deborah Criddle, Sophie Christiansen and Carl Hester (Dressage), Tina Cook, William Fox-Pitt, Zara Phillips and Nicola Wilson (Eventing) all attend Britain's richest ever raceday. 

There will also be a series of British Equestrian Federation demonstrations on the Old Paddock Lawns from 11.30am onwards, showcasing some of the different equestrian sports.
