About this Event

Join us at Chelmsford City Racecourse for the fourth running of the Cardinal Stakes worth a staggering £100,000 and the finale of the European Road to the Kentucky Derby!

It's going to be spectacular evening of quality racing, American themed bars and food as well as Live bluegrass music after racing by The Steve & Ben Somers Country Band!

The Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs is one of the most prestigious races in international racing, where only the best of the best possess the opportunity to be immortalised in the history books as an American Classic winner.

In order for a horse from Europe or Japan to receive an invitation to this most glorious of races, they first must accumulate enough points across a highly competitive string of races in the UK, Ireland and France. Chelmsford City Racecourse forms the seventh and final opportunity of the series which could see them on their way to Louisville in May for the 149th edition of the American race.
