The QIPCO British Champions Series Hall of Fame was launched in
2021, making the 10th anniversary of the formation of QIPCO
British Champions Series.
The Hall of Fame immortalises the equine and human champions of
British Flat racing. It focuses on the modern greats of the sport from
1970 onwards, while simultaneously honouring the horses and people
that have featured in the long history of the sport.
Aidan O’Brien becomes the first induction in 2024, and the fourth trainer, following Sir Henry Cecil, Sir Michael Stoute and Vincent O’Brien. Keep an eye out for future inductions this year.
Each year our panel of industry experts will decide on inductions into the Hall of Fame. Take a look at some of the leading women and men within racing who will be casting their eye over its rich history.
The home of racing and the curtain-raiser for QIPCO British Champions Series in April/May. Newmarket has seen many greats across the years and will play host to many more as a chosen location for future Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. Sir Michael Stoute and Sea The Stars were inducted on QIPCO 1000 Guineas day in 2023.
The crescendo of the British Flat racing season, the UK’s richest raceday and hosted at Ascot every October. What better place to induct some of the greatest to grace the sport than the very spot some of their triumphs were achieved. Steve Cauthen and Pebbles became the latest inductees into the QIPCO British Champions Series Hall of Fame, both recognised on QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot in October.
