Champion Stakes at Ascot attracts the best but faces fight to maintain status
NeutralSports

The Champion Stakes at Ascot is gearing up to be an exciting event this weekend, featuring a £1.3 million showdown between Ombudsman and Delacroix. However, it faces stiff competition from other prestigious races in Ireland and the US, which raises questions about its status as one of the world's top horse races. Since the prize for the 'World's Best Horse Race' was introduced in 2015, the Champion Stakes has struggled to make a significant impact in the rankings. This year's race is crucial for maintaining its reputation and attracting the best horses.
