| Event Name: | Racing at Ascot - King George Day |
| Description: | The King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes commemorates the current Queen Elizabeths late parents and is the European mid season middle distance championship. With £750,000 on offer, the King George is Ascots most valuable and most important race. The supporting card is second to none with the £150,000 totesport International Handicap the big betting race of the day and the Group Three Princess Margaret Independent Newspaper Stakes a traditional pointer towards the following season’s 1,000 Guineas.
Take time to relax and unwind this summer at the highlight of the British summer season. This race meeting is a dazzling day out of style, fashion, sophistication and excitement. Outside of Royal Ascot this is a date for your diary and a definite occasion to purchase a new hat! The fashion stakes at this event are as high as at Royal Ascot in a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere.
ENTERTAINMENT SUMMARY
There will be a Swing Band creating atmosphere on the Bandstand throughout the afternoon.
After racing we feature the highlight of our three concerts with a top headline pop artist live in the Old Paddock. Artist subject to confirmation.
