Ascot and the VRC |
Ascot has a very strong relationship with the Victoria Racing Club (VRC), the racing administration behind Australia's premier racecourse, Flemington, the home of the Emirates Melbourne Cup.
As well as being partners through the Global Sprint Challenge, Ascot has in place an annual invitation to the winner of the Darley Australian Cup, Australia's top spring middle distance event, to run in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot. The VRC offer an AUS$500,000 bonus to any successful horse.
Ascot and the VRC also have a membership exchange scheme in operation, to recognise the close ties and shared aspirations of these two great racing institutions.
