British Champions Day is a thoroughbred horse race meeting held at Ascot Racecourse in October each year since 2011, which acts as the end of season highlight fixture of British flat racing.
It was created by drawing together a number of historic races which had been features of Ascot and Newmarket's end of season meetings for many years.
In the new fixture, these became the finals of each of the divisions of the British Champions Series.
