With two Group 3 races, The Brigadier Gerard Stakes and The Henry II Stakes, the atmosphere comes alive at Britain's richest evening meeting. Horses that win these race often go on to win at some of the biggest fixtures throughout the summer. In 2022 Bay Bridge won the Brigadier Gerard Stakes before going on to win the Champion Stakes, one of the most prestigious races anywhere in the world, at Ascot later that year. Both races are proven hunting grounds for Champions and this year looks to be no different.
