GROUP 1 RACING ON THE ROWLEY MILE

 

Get ready for Sun Chariot Day, it's guaranteed to set your heart racing!

 

This prestigious event, honoring the legendary filly Sun Chariot, is now in its 20th year of pure racing excellence. It's the magnet for the most exceptional fillies and mares in the racing world, and this year promises to be nothing short of sensational.

 

The Sun Chariot Group 1 race is the crowning jewel of Sun Chariot Day, and it's not just a race; it's an electrifying spectacle that will leave horseracing enthusiasts absolutely breathless. Picture this: legendary performances by the likes of Sky Lantern, Laurens, and Billesdon Brook have graced this historic event, and you're invited to be a part of it. And that's not all! This race is just one of the many pulse-pounding Group 1 contests that await you during Autumn at the iconic Rowley Mile.

 

So, why miss out on the chance to witness the most talented fillies and mares in action, battling it out for glory in the Sun Chariot Stakes?
