As the flat racing season rolls on, we’ve arrived at another big meeting. This time, York Racecourse opens its gates to some of the sport’s best performers. It’s time for the York Ebor Festival, which will run for four days from August 23rd until August 26th.
The Ebor festival will be run over four days, which means that the North Yorkshire venue will see plenty of top-class racing this week. There are several hugely competitive handicaps set to take place, as well as some high-quality group races, including the hugely valuable and incredibly prestigious Juddmonte International Stakes.
