Group 1 Flat Races

From May to October the horse racing scene is either talking about the last one or anticipating the next one - Group 1 races are a chance for the best flat racers in the world to show off their skill in style. As the highest ranking in quality, fanfare and price money among the Class 1 races, the Group 1 meetings attract high rolling punters and high profile owners, trainers and horses. Group 1 races include some of the longest standing race meetings in the United Kingdom, such as the Classic Races, making them events not only rich in action but also in historical background.
