British Racing Attendances Falling Behind, Says Qatar Racing's Manager

British Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday is expected to attract more than 28,000 spectators but overall attendance in Britain is "off the pace" compared to the growth in the United States and Australia, David Redvers, the racing manager to Qatar Racing, told AFP.

Qatar Racing's Sheikh Fahad Al Thani was the driving force behind British Champions Day and instrumental in the family's Qatar Investment and Project Development Holding Company (QIPCO) sponsoring Britain's most lucrative race meeting from 2011 to this day.
