Queen Charlotte Stakes

Queen Charlotte Stakes

Chelmsford City’s most prestigious race has previously been won by superstar fillies including 1000 Guineas winner Billesdon Brook and multi-Group 1 globetrotting heroine Highfield Princess as well as representatives from leading owners Godolpin and Cheveley Park Stud. The increasingly distinguished contest over seven furlong races celebrates the heritage of horse racing in Essex, having been named in honour of Queen Charlotte who’s namesake race, the Queen’s Plate, was staged at the former Chelmsford Racecourse in Galleywood.

Supporting local children with autism, and as part of our ’10 Years of Community’ we are offering families affected by autism complimentary tickets to enjoy a day at the races in a safe environment.

Partnering with POP Essex, a fantastic local charity who provide ‘SEND’ stay & play and respite sessions for families, our exclusive autism friendly play zone includes areas with sensory activities, soft play, and private garden to watch the racing.

Please note that tickets for ‘Autism in Racing’ must be pre-booked in advance, as they will not be available on the day and are subject to availability.

We hope to see you for this exciting evening of top-class racing and entertainment!
