2021 marks the 10th anniversary of the QIPCO Guineas Festival, the traditional curtain raiser for QIPCO British Champions Series.
Over the past decade, the two-day meeting at Newmarket’s Rowley Mile has been witness to some extraordinary equine performances, celebrating horses who have excelled both on track and subsequently in the breeding industry.
None encapsulate this excellence more than Frankel, who was recently immortalised as the first horse to join the QIPCO British Champions Series Hall of Fame.

Lester Piggott won nearly 4,500 races during a lengthy career
Frankel and Lester Piggott have become the first two members of the British Champions Series Hall of Fame.
Launched to mark the 10th anniversary of Qipco s sponsorship of the British Champions Series, the first official Hall of Fame for British Flat racing sets out to immortalise greats of the sport, both human and equine, from 1970 onwards.
Piggott is widely regarded as one of the greatest Flat jockeys of all time, having won almost 4,500 races during a glittering riding career, including a record nine victories in the Derby at Epsom.

We look at three of racing s most exciting young jockeys who look set to build their reputations further in 2021
Hollie Doyle, Tom Marquand and Cieren Fallon each enjoyed landmark first Group 1 wins in the QIPCO British Champions Series last year. After tasting success at the top table, you can guarantee the star trio will be hungry for more this year.

Hollie Doyle
Doyle must have been one of the few people in the world who never wanted 2020 to end. She enjoyed a record-breaking year on the track and won numerous awards off it. In addition to riding 151 winners, she was also third in the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year.

Newmarket supremo s yard should be among the big winners once again this season
John Gosden has trained more winners of QIPCO British Champions Series races than his counterparts in each of the past three seasons. He will not be short of candidates to continue his stranglehold in 2021.
Gosden enjoyed eight Series wins last year, having chalked up 11 in 2018 and a dozen in 2019.
The one surprise is that he did not saddle a winner on QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot in October. Stradivarius and Palace Pier fluffed their lines in their respective races at cramped odds. Mishriff, Lord North, Nazeef and Meydaayih were other big hopes for him on Britain’s richest raceday but none managed to deliver.
