Go Racing In Yorkshire

The ever-popular ARC Malton Open Day saw a bumper crowd of over 1,260 people enjoying some fabulous sunshine and a great buzz as they toured the yards of some of the region’s best trainers. There were plenty of equine superstars on show across the 12 yards opening, including John Quinn’s Royal Ascot winner Highfield Princess, […]

Trained in Norton, North Yorkshire, by Julie Camacho, the Elite Racing Club-owned nine-year-old claimed glory in the prestigious sprint two years ago. Judicial, who holds the five-furlong course record at Beverley, might be the oldest horse in a strong 12-runner field, but he looked as good as ever winning a Listed race at Chester on […]

Roger has sent out over 400 winners from his yard in recent years, and visitors will have the chance to see behind-the-scenes of his Arthington Barn Stables, which boasts state-of-the-art facilities for the 40+ horses in his care, including its own private gallops. He said of his involvement in the ARC Malton Open Day, which […]

Enthusiastic race fans turned out in greater numbers than back in 2019 with 84,021 (+1.1%) racegoers being treated to some stunning equine performances and four days of a Yorkshire welcome, hospitality, fashion and joie de vivre. Summing up the event, Chief Executive and Clerk of the Course, William Derby said, “It was just tremendous to […]

Mishriff currently heads the market for the £1million Group 1 race, in which he will compete against fellow aces, Love and Alcohol Free, among others. The four-year-old has already had a fine 2021 campaign with lucrative victories in the Saudi Cup and the Dubai Sheema Classic. Last time out he again ran another cracking race, […]

Forty years have passed since Condessa provided Bolger with his first British Group-race success in the 1981 Yorkshire Oaks. He has since taken out the Darley-sponsored contest on two further occasions, saddling Lush Lashes to victory in 2008 before Pleascach landed the spoils in 2015. Bolger has yet to win the £1 million Juddmonte International […]

An impressive winner of a Doncaster maiden on debut last month, the unbeaten juvenile is one of nine entries received for the valuable Group 3. The first of fourteen contests offering a six- figure purse over the four days, the £100,000 Tattersalls Acomb Stakes boasts a roll of honour that includes subsequent Group 1 winners […]

American ace, Golden Pal, ships from Indianapolis tonight ahead of arriving at the Knavesmire late tomorrow before his participation in this British Champions Series Sprint. French filly, Suesa, is currently in Deauville before travelling across the Channel for the £400,000 Group 1. Festival sponsors, Sky Bet can’t split the 5/2 joint-favourites for the five-furlong blitz […]

Easterby last took the title in 1999, but has had several near-misses over the years since then. The current campaign has yielded seven successes on the Knavesmire for his Habton Grange stables, located near Malton. Easterby will start York’s flagship meeting with a slender one-win advantage over Andrew Balding, while Richard Fahey has notched five […]

By kind permission of Sheikha Hissa Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and with the generous support of Charlie Hills and his Faringdon Place team, the hugely popular gelding will be at the Knavesmire for York racegoers and ITV and Racing TV’s audience to see.  To help celebrate him, the plan is for the two-time champion […]

The Newmarket-based handler has saddled six winners from his last seven starters and will be represented on the Knavesmire by last year’s Sky Bet Ebor winner, Fujaira Prince. The seven-year-old could bid to become only the second horse to win the £500,000 heritage handicap twice, which would emulate the feats of Flint Jack in 1922 […]

While the Pulborough-based handler admits his charge is not a guaranteed stayer, he believes the set-up of the Sky Bet Ebor will give Blue Cup every opportunity to see out the extra distance. He said: “The Ebor is a punt because he has never been further than a mile and two, but when he switches […]

The seven-year-old gelding earned his spot in the historic £500,000 heritage handicap when he landed the Sky Bet Race To The Ebor Handicap at the Curragh on 2 June. Shanroe struck decisively enough with a sustained challenge that led to him scoring by three parts of a length. The initiative sees four contests, all backed […]

Trainer Ismail Mohammed believes the daughter of No Nay Never could be the best horse to have passed through his hands. And she will try to bolster those claims when contesting the £150,000 Group 2 on Thursday 19 August – the second day of the Welcome to Yorkshire Ebor Festival. Beaten only a neck on […]

Bethell is enjoying a fine first season with a license, saddling 18 winners so far. During York’s seasonal showpiece, he is set to be represented by Fearby in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes and Moss Gill in the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes, both of which are held on Friday 20 August. Progressive […]
