Cancelled Sporting Events Following the Demise of the Queen
Experience the Majesty of Golf at Wentworth
The BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club is a tournament that celebrates the timeless sport of golf. However, the game was temporarily halted due to the unfortunate passing of Her Majesty the Queen. As a mark of respect for the Queen and the Royal Family, play was suspended on Thursday, and flags at Wentworth Club were lowered to half-mast.
Unforgettable Moments at the Cazoo St Leger
The Cazoo St Leger, the final Classic of the season, is set to captivate racing enthusiasts at Doncaster. While racing will not take place on Saturday, a nine-race card will be held at the Yorkshire course on Sunday, showcasing the prestigious St Leger. This event symbolizes British racing’s heartfelt tribute to the Queen.
The British Horseracing Authority recognizes the Queen’s special bond with the sport as its long-standing owner-breeder and patron. In response, all racing meetings were canceled on Friday, and the cards for Doncaster, Chester, Lingfield, Chelmsford, Musselburgh, and Ffos Las will not proceed on Saturday.
On Sunday, the Chepstow meeting will proceed as scheduled. Additionally, Doncaster will host a remarkable card featuring the Doncaster Cup. Unfortunately, the meeting at Musselburgh has been called off due to the Queen’s body lying in state in Edinburgh.
Julie Harrington, the CEO of the BHA, expressed the enduring and unique bond between the Queen and horse racing. Many individuals in the sport maintain a close and direct relationship with Her Majesty. As a show of sympathy to the Queen’s family, including King Charles III, the decision was made to continue suspending fixtures on Saturday.
Starting from Sunday and throughout the mourning period, racecourses will honor the Queen’s passing with on-course tributes. Flags will fly at half-mast, jockeys will wear black armbands, and a moment of silence will be observed before the first race of each meeting. Further updates regarding program changes around the funeral date will be provided in due course.
