Ascot to use inner track on British Champions Day
Long Distance Cup, the Fillies & Mares Stakes and the Champion Stakes switched.
Ascot have confirmed that three Qipco British Champions Day races will be switched to the inner Flat track due to ground conditions on the round course.
The Long Distance Cup, the Fillies & Mares Stakes and the Champion Stakes have been re-routed after 2.5mm of rain overnight left the round course going description as heavy, soft in places.
With 16mm of rain recorded over the past seven days, the ground on the inner Flat course and the straight track is soft.
