The Hong Kong Jockey Club will simulcast for betting seven races from the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes Day meeting at Ascot Racecourse in England on Saturday, 23 July (first race 8.50pm Hong Kong time).

The King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1, 2392m for 3yo+) was established in 1951 to mark the Festival of Britain, a national exhibition celebrated with innovative exhibitions and shows. The race had firmly established itself as the mid-summer showpiece of European racing.

Many of racing’s biggest names have won the race, including the legendary Italian champion Ribot (1956), the immensely talented but ill-fated Shergar (1981), the late Galileo (2001) and the exceptional Enable (2017, 2019, 2020).

Subject to change, the seven races on the card are as follows:

HK Time Race Name Distance (m) Status
20.50 Princess Margaret Stakes 1200 G3
21.25 Valiant Stakes 1594 G3
22.00 3yo+ Handicap 1400
22.35 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes 2392 G1
23.10 Pat Eddery Stakes 1400 L
23.45 3yo+ 86-105 Handicap 1600
00.20 (24/7) 3yo+ Handicap 1000

Final declarations with barrier draws for the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes Day races will be available on the morning of Friday, 22 July.
