Lochangel at Kempton Park Racecourse on 7 September 1996. Three weeks later she was ridden by Frankie Dettori and started 5/4 joint favourite for the Blue Seal Stakes (for fillies with no more than one previous start) at Ascot Racecourse. She led from the start and won by three-quarters of a length from the Henry Cecil-trained Corsini. Her win was significant as it was the sixth of Dettori's "Magnificent Seven": the 25-year-old Italian jockey won all seven races on the card including the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Mark of Esteem, driving several bookmakers to near financial ruin. Lochangel began her
Ascot Chase Park, and also upon its return to Ascot in 2007. The present length was introduced in 2008. The race was run on a Wednesday until 1998, moving to its current Saturday in 1999. It replaced the Whitbread Trial Handicap (3 miles 100 yards) on the Wednesday card, a race which was first run in 1966. Most successful horse (2 wins): Leading jockey (3 wins): Leading trainer (4 wins): The 2005 and 2006 runnings took place at Lingfield Park as Ascot was closed for redevelopment. ---- Ascot Chase The Ascot Chase is a Grade 1 National Hunt steeplechase in Great Britain
