There are moments that define racing. Then there are the people who define generations.
For one family, The King George has been more than a racecourse. It's where dreams were realised, memories were made, and a love of the sport was passed from one generation to the next.
This is more than a story about winners. It's a story about family. Watch the full story on our YouTube channel youtu.be/MrPCa5HoONQ

Calandagan's victory in the 2025 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes is considered to be one of the best performances by a middle-distance horse in the last decade. When we compare his in-race metrics to those of the other recent winners of the race, it's easy to see why!

Everybody at Ascot was saddened to hear the news of Kevin Keegan's death. Kevin was a well known personality on the racecourse and was a Team Manager at the Shergar Cup in 2000, when his Team Europe beat Team Rest Of The World. It was a privilege to work with someone of Kevin’s profile and he brought a significant amount to the event. All our thoughts are with his friends and family at this difficult time.
