The first Champion Stakes that was run at Ascot in 2011 from top to bottom is still one of the deepest fields the race has drawn since being moved there from Newmarket. Of the 12 horses that went to post for the race that day at Ascot, 8 of the 12 were already G1 winners, and 7 of those 8 were either already or would go on to become multiple G1 winners, I.E., Cirrus des Aigles, So You Think, Snow Fairy, Midday, Nathaniel, Wigmore Hall, & Twice Over. Only Casamento would be retired as a 1-time G1 winner of the Racing Post Trophy as a 2YO. The other 4 horses that made up the 2011 Champion Stakes field were Sri Putra who was both a winner at G2 & G3 level, Ransom Note also a G2 & G3 winner, and Green Destiny & Dubai Prince, who were both 2-time G3 winners.
Glad to see the brilliant Pat Smullen winning a terrific race ! R.I.P.
Courageous man x

Cracksman was a freak another horse that would roll enable
Over what a mile wouldnt get near her over 2400m
On very soft ground quite possibly, on good ground most likely not.
Why link him to Enable at all?
Why are you so anti Enable?
While it’s a great concept and there have been some great races I much preferred the Champion Stks at Newmarket and the QE II in late September.
shut up hater of ascot👎
