ENJOY A MODERN BRITISH CLASSIC
King George VI Saturday commands a sense of occasion fit for the running of one of the most world’s most historic races, the Group One King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (sponsored by QIPCO) commemorating Her Majesty The Queen’s late parents.

It is a race steeped in history and has seen many classic renewals down the years. Grundy v Bustino in 1975 was instantly - and enduringly - acclaimed as the race of the century.

In 2014 the John Gosden-trained Taghrooda made history by becoming the first three-year-old filly to win the race since Pawneese in 1976, while last year saw one of the closest battles in recent history as Postponed edged Eagle Top by a nose.
