Proud sponsors of the 1895 Duke of York Clipper Logistics Stakes.

Welcome A very warm welcome back to the Knavesmire for the first day of our 2022 season. It is such a pleasure for everyone at York to be able to welcome racegoers back to enjoy this Dante Festival, for the first time since 2019!

York Racecourse is committed to supporting the sport and to attracting the best horses to race for us all to enjoy. As an indication of this commitment, prize money over the three days of the Dante Festival is £1.35m, meaning a six-figure increase on 2019, with every race worth £20,000 or more. All eight of the Pattern grade contests see a significant increase on their 2019 values, up to record levels.

The first of those quality thoroughbreds will go to post in today’s seven races, headlined by a pair of Pattern contests. The Group 3 Tattersalls Musidora where eight blue blood fillies look to stake their claim on Cazoo Oaks glory. Seven fillies have completed the York-Epsom double since 1961, with Snowfall being the most recent after last year’s dominant performance. Champion trainer John Gosden seeking an incredible fourth win in seven years, Emily Upjohn flies the Clarehaven Stables flag today. The unbeaten Life Of Dreams represents Charlie Appleby and team Godolphin.

If the fillies are about showing potential, then the sprinters in the Group Two 1895 Duke of York Clipper Logistics Stakes are about proven class and speed. A brace of Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack winners are seeking further Knavesmire success, so watch out for Emaraaty Ana and Minzaal. There is strong local representation in the contest with Spycatcher, Highfield Princess and the aforementioned Emaraaty Ana and batting for Yorkshire.

The winner of our opening race today can reserve itself a berth in those supersize stalls for the £500,000 Sky Bet Ebor on Saturday 20 August, as it is one of three Sky Bet backed “Race to the Ebor” contests at York, with a fourth being held at the Curragh on 1 June (see page 14 for details) The prize funds for these races can only be achieved through the support of our sponsors. Many thanks to Tattersalls, Clipper Logistics, Paddy Power, Churchill Tyres, Sky Bet, the European Breeders’ Fund, and Conundrum HR Consulting for their valuable backing.

The team have been busy preparing for your return, the Champagne Pavilion has been given a fresh new look, whilst on the ground floor of the Knavesmire Stand the renamed 1731 Pie Shop both celebrates the year when racing started on the Knavesmire and serves a range of home-made goodies. If we are blessed with the weather, then both of the County Stand Garden and Roberto Village Bar offer a speed of service with nearby outside seating.

Today at 12 noon on the Edwardian Weighing Room Lawn we will unveil a bench in memory of Tom Richmond, a wonderful advocate of racing, York and Yorkshire in his role at the Yorkshire Post. Tom was a fearless and intelligent writer, a passionate and brilliant supporter of racing, a kind and caring man who was a friend to all who knew him. He died far too young but will be remembered with fondness by all who knew him.

Two final mentions, firstly do go and get a 360° selfie on the stage by the Melrose Stand, secondly good luck to York City in their Play- Off semi-final this evening.

I hope you have a thoroughly enjoyable and successful day

The William Hill Betting Shops around the course offers a full SP service, so bets on racing and the wider sporting world.

The colour of the main betting ring returns, set in front of the Knavesmire Stand, take on the challenge. Contactless payment is available for all the above options. Good luck.

BAR CLOSING TIMES Bars will remain open up to an hour after the last race. The serving of drinks in hospitality areas, will be as specified in your booking details. Have an enjoyable time with us but please respect our neighbours and the wider city as you leave the racecourse.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES York Racecourse always strives to ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment. However, an incident may occur which is beyond our control. We have employed professionally-trained and experienced stewards.

In the event of a situation which requires a partial or full evacuation of the stands, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will usher you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and quietly. If we are unable to re-occupy the stands, you may be invited to return to your car or coach. Departure from car and coach parks will be under the direction of the Police. The foregoing is a precautionary tale.

A RACECOURSE FOR ALL

We want the racecourse to offer both a welcome and an enjoyable day to all our racegoers and in delivering that we recognise that some may need additional assistance from us.

The first thing to say, please just ask for help, if the team don’t have an instant answer, then they know someone who will. The team in the Racecourse Reception (behind the Ebor Stand) act as the link to the rest of the team, as needed.

FAQS Is there disabled and blue badge parking?

Yes, I hope you found it. All our car parks have designated spaces near their front row.

Can I get help with getting to/from the car park, taxi rank or shuttle buses?

Yes, there is a complimentary buggy service to all these points, ask at racecourse reception or next time you arrive just call 01904 620911. Thank you for your patience as the buggies can only transfer 4 people at a time and it’s a big site.

Can I bring a wheelchair?

Yes, if you need to; but we also offer complimentary hire, again from Racecourse Reception (see told you they were the hub). As we hope you’ll appreciate, there are only so many wheelchairs on site, if you need to reserve in advance then call 01904 620911.

Can I bring somebody to help?

Yes, we appreciate that will come in various forms, we hope our “carer comes free” scheme is a help, before your next visit check it out online at www.yorkracecourse.co.uk or just ask the team today.

Are there wheelchair viewing platforms?

Yes, in all stand side area and Stands - easiest thing to do is to ask our Stewards, though a map is available from, you guessed it, Racecourse Reception. Please use these in the spirit intended, with carers being prepared to step aside to allow space for those who need the view the most.

What about toilets and are they part of the Radar scheme?

Yes they are, all the permanent toilet blocks have a disabled capability, please ask for directions or check that map from you know where.

Are their wheelchair height food and drink counters?

Yes there are but not as many as we’d like, please ask a member of the team to assist you.

Wheelchair height betting?

Yes, there are some Tote counters set at a reduced height though a better plan might be to use the courier service that operates in areas such as the main Champagne Lawns; the Tote team themselves are always willing to help.

There was one more thing?

Please ask, we value your feedback so we can keep improving in this area.

This season sees the latest staging of the famous race as part of a an extensive partnership with Leeds-based Sky Bet. York Racecourse and its longstanding partner are committed to both cherishing and yet developing the track’s most famous race.

Today sees the next instalment of a series entitled the “Race To The Ebor” which includes four high-class staying contests, including a brand new Irish race which joined in the series last year. The four races nominated for the “Race To The Ebor” are: Sky Bet Melrose Sky Bet Jorvik Sky Bet Stakes Sky Bet Grand Cup Handicap (3YO only) Handicap (4YO+) (Handicap, 4YO+) (Listed, 4YO+) York - 1m 6f Saturday 21 August 2021

York - 1m 4f Wednesday 11 May 2022

The Curragh - 1m 6f Wednesday 1 June 2022

York - 1m 6f Saturday 11 June 2022

Sky Bet Ebor (Handicap 4YO+)

York - 1m 6f Saturday 20 August 2022

The winners of the four races above will be guaranteed a start position in the Sky Bet Ebor of 2022 provided they are entered and confirmed in the normal way. In a further boost to connections, if these horses run in the Sky Bet Ebor 2022 and fail to finish in the top eight places, they will have their entry fee to the race (worth £5,000) refunded, the top eight receive £5,000 or more in prize money. By virtue of winning last season’s Sky Bet Melrose, the Andrew Balding-trained Valley Forge holds the first ‘golden ticket’.

In the event that any of the “Race To The Ebor” winners were set to carry the lowest weight in the Sky Bet Ebor, that horse’s weight would be raised to the equivalent of the lowest-weighted horse that was set to run through the established entry process.

To complement this initiative York Racecourse invested in Britain’s largest set of starting stalls, able to accommodate 22 runners, an increase of two participants on the 2018 configuration and used for the very first time in 2019 as Mustajeer scooped the pot in the Sky Bet Ebor.

1. Place a bet with the tote. 2. You can go to the betting ring. 3. Use a William Hill Retail SP Betting Shop.

With over 300 tote betting points located around the course, there is always one nearby.

The main betting ring is situated in front of the Knavesmire Stand with an additional ring in Course Enclosure and sometimes a third set of bookies on Bustardthorpe Lawn.There are three William Hill Retail SP betting shops at York; one at the southern end of the stands, the second on the ground floor of the Knavesmire Stand and the third being the refurbished shop on the ground floor of the Melrose Stand. In addition, racegoers in the Clocktower Enclosure will find a William Hill Retail SP facility underneath the clock tower.

PLACING YOUR BET WITH A BOOKMAKER Shop around for the best odds against your selection. When you have decided on where to place your bet, state the number of your chosen horse and the stake, for example “number 4, £2 win”. Listen to the bookmaker repeat the number of the horse and the stake to his/ her clerk and hand your stake to the bookmaker. You will then be given an itemised receipt that gives details of the bet and shows potential winnings. You should keep this ticket safe.

COLLECTING YOUR WINNINGS If your selection wins (or, in the case of a place bet, is placed), hand the ticket back to the bookmaker for settlement. NEVER destroy your ticket until after the “Weighed In” announcement has been made. There may still be a stewards enquiry and the first past the post, or placed horses, may be disqualified. On rare occasions even the horse coming fourth has been awarded the race. You may bet with confidence with any bookmaker as they have all been approved by the Administration Of Gambling On Tracks Limited, which administers the betting rings at each of Britain’s 59 racecourses. The AGT also offers a full late pay service, in case a bookmaker leaves the course before you have collected your winnings.

Late Pay Claims should be sent to Administration Of Gambling On Tracks Limited, 3a, Kings Hall, Parsons Green, St Ives, Cambs, PE27 4WY.

WAYS TO BET STRAIGHT EACH WAY

In conjunction with The RCA, the bookmakers have introduced standard each-way terms.

Bookmakers will provide these terms, or better, when offering each-way betting.

They offer a comprehensive service, including bets settled TAX FREE at Starting Price (S.P.).

BETTING WITHOUT THE FAVOURITE

At reduced odds you can back a horse and collect if it wins or runs second to the horse nominated by the bookmaker as favourite.

STRAIGHT FORECAST

Name the first and second in the correct order.

In the unlikely event of a dispute with a bookmaker, please call upon the assistance of the AGT Betting Ring Manager. Their office is located near the Theakston Bar to the South of the main Betting Ring.

Official BHA Ratings The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part usually in three races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability.

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

Racing Post Standard Times is an independent assessment based on how long it should take a 90 rated horse to win on Good To Firm ground at York. Race tactics, rail movements, and wind direction are amongst the many factors to also affect the time for each specific race.

Non-runner Ground - The Trainer states the ground is not suitable for this horse, the official going has changed since the time of declaration.

Vet - The Trainer states the horse is subject to a Veterinary Certificate.

Self Certificate - The trainer has advised the authorities that the horse is not able to race today.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

1st Race 1.50 The Sky Bet Race To The Ebor Jorvik Stakes One Mile About Four Furlongs (2,400 metres)

Distance: Race Type: Prize Money: Age: Stalls:

1m 4f Handicap £50,000 4+ Centre

See page 77 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION Welcome back. We start with a handicap. Such races are designed for close competition, with the handicapper as the independent assessor who rates horses on past performance, seeking to get them crossing the line together, by handing out differing weights.

The best will be the highest rated horse, Global Storm who has the honour of being the highest rated horse in this race.

Note the winner because they will have earned a guaranteed spot in the Sky Bet Ebor and could be back here on Saturday 20th August.

Maybe visit the sponsors website to show you where the money is down.

LAST YEARS RACE Winner: ILARAAB Trainer: William Haggas Jockey: Tom Marquand Age/Weight: 4-9-9 Runners: 15 SP: 7/2F A decisive winner, William Haggas’ charge stamped his class in the Jorvik to win readily over the gallant Raymond Tusk in second and an improving Throne Hall in third.

KNAVESMIRE TIP William Haggas won this with a similarly progressive sort last year and GAASSEE fits the bill this time around as he looks the land the four-timer following a ready success at Kempton last December. Global Storm must be feared despite being top-weight, while C&D winner Sam Cooke and Dark Jedi are big players on last season’s form. A year down the line from being well beaten on his only attempt at this distance at Royal Ascot, better can be expected from Just Fine on this occasion.

See page 77 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION Again, a handicap, this time for horses rated between 86 and 105. Like in the game of cricket a score of 100 denotes a good performer. The shorter distance of only six furlongs means a result even faster than a Ben Stokes century.

Pit your wits against the handicapper – if you need some help look for C (has won at York) or D (has won over this distance) against the horse’s name, see Nomadic Empire and Mr Lupton are amongst those with Course and Distance Form.

Casting an eye at the Press Selections Board on the end of the Melrose Stand may help share out any blame.

KNAVESMIRE TIP A highly competitive renewal but one that could fall the way of DAKOTA GOLD, already a winner here five times and entitled to have benefited from his recent seasonal debut. He is better than a handicapper on his day and has been dropped 3lb for one poor run which gives him every chance. Mr Lupton won this last year and has to be considered on his reappearance, while Bergerac is possibly the best of the younger horses after a valiant effort in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket.

The 1895 Duke of York Clipper Logistics Stakes FACT FILE:

Where does the race name come from?

WHY IS IT SPECIAL?

Distance Six furlongs (1,207 metres)

Prize money £140,000

The 1895 Duke of York Stakes, named in honour of Prince George, Duke of York (later King George V.) was introduced at York’s August meeting in 1895. Back then it was a middle-distance race for three-year-olds before it morphed into a six furlong handicap in May 1950, became a conditions race in 1968, achieved Group 3 status in 1971 and was promoted to a Group 2 in 2003.

This is one of the first major six furlong sprints so provides clues as to where the top honours will end up in the speed division.

FIRST MODERN ERA WINNER? Joe Mercer partnered the John Sutcliffe-trained Hard Water to victory in 1968.

DO THESE HORSES FEATURE ELSEWHERE AFTERWARDS?

Joe Mercer

The Roll of Honour includes Indian Ridge (1989), Royal Applause (1997), Invincible Spirit (2002) and Monsieur Bond (2004) all of which became top-class stallions after their racing days were over. 2021 winner Starman went onto achieve more Group One glory. He now stands at Tally-Ho Stud and in a few years we might see some of his progeny running at York.

DOES LIGHTNING STRIKE TWICE?

Handsome Sailor

Handsome Sailor is the only horse to win the race twice. He took the prize in 1987 and 1988.

Add in a Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes and a triumph in the Prix de l’Abbaye confirms that he was a smart sort. In his hat-trick bid he could finish only 9th.

LEADING TRAINER? Barry Hills has seven victories - Noble Mark (1974), Flash n’ Thunder (1980), Jester (1982), Handsome Sailor (1987, 1988), Royal Applause (1997) and Prime Defender (2010). Rather appropriately, his son, Charles, saddled the 2016 victor, Magical Memory.

So no pressure on Garrus and Ryan Moore!

Barry Hills

LEADING RIDER? Michael Hills, Lester Piggott and Steve Cauthen each won the race four times. Of the current crop, Frankie Dettori has won it three times, most recently on Magical Memory in the 2016 renewal, whilst Jim Crowley would earn his own treble were Minzaal to emerge victorious today.

KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY Michael Hills, another son of Barry, rode four winners whilst Gianfranco Dettori won aboard Three Legs (not literally) in 1976 so his son Frankie has built the family connection when winning on Lend A Hand (2000), Delegator (2011) and Magical Memory (2016).

WHO ARE THE SPONSORS? Clipper Logistics Limited was created in 1992 with a small team of three people and one driver. In the years since then the company has grown exponentially with now over 3,900 3,900 highlyskilled, long-serving employees and an annual turnover that runs to nine figures.

They are at the cutting edge of logistics in the UK.

Michael Hills

HOW DO YORKSHIRE STABLES FIGURE? Venture Capitalist gave David “Dandy” Nicholls his first Group winner in 1996 whilst Bollin Joanne (1998) and Pipalong (2001) gave Malton trainer Tim Easterby a brace of victories. Bryan Smart scored with Monsieur Bond in 2004 and in 2007 Amadeus Wolf provided the first of Kevin Ryan’s two winners in the race – Tiddliwinks (2012) being the other so far. Although there’s been no Yorkshire winners since, they’re well represented today: Kevin Ryan’s Emaraaty Ana joins Spycatcher and Highfield Princess in a bid to end the drought for the White Rose.

INTRODUCTION The 1895 Duke Of York Clipper Logistics Stakes is a sprint of the highest quality and there are some real speedsters on its roll of honour.

As is always the case, this year’s renewal looks well up to standard with two Group One winners in the field.

AGE The successes of Starman, Invincible Army and Harry Angel in the last four years have solidified the dominance of four-year-old’s.

Now only three horses who weren’t four have won the race in the last ten years. Looking further back, the four-year-old’s continue their dominance with 21 winners since 1968, compared to 14 five-year-old winners and just six six-year-old winners.

GROUP FORM With the exception of Tiddliwinks in 2012, the previous ten winners had all won at Listed level or better earlier in their careers and therefore it would seem fruitless supporting a runner that is yet to prove themselves. However, only Society Rock, Maarek and Harry Angel had already won a Group 1 prior to winning here.

Going G/S G/F G/F S G G S G/S G G

TRAINER FORM No trainer has asserted their dominance over this race from a winning perspective, but Kevin Ryan does tend to run a good one here and this year is represented by Emaraaty Ana. John Quinn has been represented by El Astronaute in recent years and this year he sends Highfield Princess.

RECENT FORM Race fitness has proved an important factor in recent seasons, but last year’s winner Starman defied that trend when winning here after a 207 day break. Invincible Army had a run prior to winning in 2019 but like Starman the 2018 winner Harry Angel also won off a break. Maybe there we are seeing a shift in the trends...

BETTING The fact that Harry Angel and Invincible Army were only the fourth and fifth winning favourites in the last 12 years suggests that this is a race in which the market leader can be opposed.

Equally, there have also been some shock results during the same period; including Glass Office’s victory at 40/1 and Tiddliwinks’ success at 25/1, so if you do fancy a horse at a big-price don’t be put off, especially if they match the other trends.

KEY TRENDS Ridden by Jim Crowley Aged four, five or six Trained by Kevin Ryan

CONCLUSION Kevin Ryan has a good record in the race, so the top weighted Emaraaty Ana must carry a fair amount of respect. Garrus is looking to give Charlie Hills his second win in the last decade and has booked the red-hot Ryan Moore. The benefit of two runs this season should help and the Lambourn based trainer knows exactly what it takes to win a race like this. With all this being said, MINZAAL would be the pick for Owen Burrows and Jim Crowley. Rated 113 he’s had two runs this season and won the Group 2 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack last season, he looks to be the type to improve and will take some stopping.

Six Furlongs (1,200 metres) See page 77 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION Here, top class sprinters can hit c40mph in our first pattern race of 2022.

This Group 2 six-furlong sprint is towards the pinnacle of the Pattern pyramid which denotes the best contests, forming part of the second tier of four categories; Listed, Group 3, Group 2 and Group 1.

Runners of the same sex and age are expected to carry the same weight. Weight allowances would have been made for the variation in strength of 3yos, but this early in the year none are taking that chance today. A number of fillies are set to run with the likes of Happy Romance hoping the weight allowance produces a win. At the other end of the scale, Group One success last Autumn for Emaraaty Ana means an additional burden.

Ed Chamberlain and the team from ITV will be having a close at them in the Parade Ring, why not join them.

KNAVESMIRE TIP DRAGON SYMBOL was the bridesmaid on several occasions at the highest level in 2021, most notably when demoted to second in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. The four-year-old can be forgiven his final outing of the year in the Champions Sprint and a change of stables over the winter might yield further progression. Minzaal also has to enter calculations, with the four-year-old appearing to be capable of better this season.

FANTASY RAC S

TATTERSALLS MUSIDORA

There is always a healthy debate in sport about comparisons over the generations, our fantasy race below is our contribution to the chatter.

1988

DIMINUENDO (USA)

1989

SNOW BRIDE (USA)

1990

IN THE GROOVE

1995

PURE GRAIN

1997

REAMS OF VERSE (USA)

Ch f Diesis — Cacti (USA) (Tom Rolfe) Owner: Sheikh Mohammed Trainer: H. R. A. Cecil Jockey: Steve Cauthen Unraced as a two-year-old, victory in the 1988 Tattersalls Musidora was the first of Diminuendo’s career following second and third place finishes in the Nell Gwyn and 1000 Guineas respectively at Newmarket. The four-length Musidora win when 8/13 favourite showed her to be smart and she fulfilled the potential by going on to win the Oaks at Epsom and the Irish Oaks. Returning to the Knavesmire in the August, she ran out an impressive five-length winner of the Darley Yorkshire Oaks before being pipped by just a length in the St Leger at Doncaster.

Ch f Blushing Groom (FR) — Awaasif (CAN) (Snow Knight) Owner: Saeed Maktoum Al Maktoum Trainer: H. R. A. Cecil Jockey: Steve Cauthen A third successive Tattersalls Musidora success for Henry Cecil and Steve Cauthen. Unbeaten in two races as a juvenile, Snow Bride lost her 100% record when fifth in the Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket. Yet 12 days later she restored her reputation when running on strongly to get the better of Pilot by a length-and-a-half before adding the Epsom Oaks to her CV when inheriting victory after Ailysa, the first past the post, was disqualified. She signed off her racing career by winning the Princess Royal Stakes at Ascot.

B f Night Shift (USA) — Pine Ridge (High Top) Owner: Brian Cooper Trainer: D. R. C. Elsworth Jockey: Ray Cochrane Already a winner on the Knavesmire thanks to a two-year-old maiden success, In The Groove won the 1990 Tattersalls Musidora under a fine Ray Cochrane ride. Just 11 days later they landed the Irish 1,000 Guineas. Unsuccessful at Epsom, further Group One glory came on her return to York when winning the Juddmonte International. Further top drawer triumphs in a Champion Stakes at Newmarket as well as in the Coronation Cup at Epsom the following season marked her as one of the very best.

B f Polish Precedent (USA) — Mill Line (Mill Reef (USA)) Owner: R Barnett Trainer: Sir Michael Stoute Jockey: John Reid A game winner by a length of the 1995 renewal, Pure Grain went on to win the Darley Irish Oaks at The Curragh in impressive fashion. That victory had followed a podium finish in at Epsom. An impressive Group 1 double was completed when she returned to the Knavesmire to land the Darley Yorkshire Oaks in thrilling fashion in that August.

Ch f Nureyev (USA) — Modena (USA) (Roberto (USA)) Owner: K Abdulla Trainer: H. R. A. Cecil Jockey: Kieren Fallon Three times a winner as a two-year-old, including in the Fillies’ Mile at Ascot, she bounced back from finishing sixth in the 1,000 Guineas in the most eye-catching of fashion, coming home at York some 11 lengths clear under Kieren Fallon.

Odds on for the Epsom Classic as a result, she duly delivered.

2002 ISLINGTON (IRE)

B f Sadler’s Wells (USA) — Hellenic (Darshaan) Owner: Lord Weinstock Trainer: Sir Michael Stoute Jockey: Kieren Fallon Victory in the 2002 Tattersalls Musidora set Islington on the path to four Group 1 wins in a glittering career. Success in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood and back here on the Knavesmire in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks in her Classic season.

Narrowly beaten at the highest level in her subsequent starts, she had to wait a year for her next win as she made it back-to-back successes in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks. A well-deserved Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mares Turf was to be the fourth top honour of her career.

2009

SARISKA

2021

SNOWFALL

B f Pivotal — Maycocks Bay (Muhtarram (USA)) Owner: Lady Bamford Trainer: M. L. W. Bell Jockey: Jamie Spencer The first of a hat-trick of wins came in clear-cut fashion in the 2009 Tattersalls Musidora, Sariska staying on strongly for a three and three-quarter length success. When following up in the Investec Oaks, she ended a lean spell for York winners in the Epsom Classic. The Darley Irish Oaks completed Sariska’s hat-trick before she finished second in a thrilling battle with Dar Re Mi for the Darley Yorkshire Oaks back here on the Knavesmire.

B f Deep Impact (JPN) - Best In The World (IRE)) Owner: Mr D. Smith, Mrs J. Magnier, Mr M. Tabor Trainer: Aidan O’Brien Jockey: Ryan Moore A subsequent emphatic three-time Group One winner, Snowfall was a runaway winner of the 2021 Tattersalls Musidora.

She went onto achieve glory in the Epsom Oaks, the first since Sariska, before going back to Ireland where she won the Irish equivalent, returning in August to add the Darley backed Yorkshire version.

The Tattersalls Musidora Stakes

FACT FILE: WHO WAS MUSIDORA?

THE AUSSIE ANGLE?

Musidora was part of five Classic victories for the partnership of Charles Elsey and Edgar Britt.

A lightweight rider who hailed from Sydney. A brace of Darley Yorkshire Oaks triumphs were also on a successful CV. Britt passed away in his native land, in January 2016, aged 103.

Distance One mile, two furlongs and 56 yards (2,050 metres)

Prize money £125,000

Musidora, named after Jeanne Roques who was a famous French star in the silent movies, was a real superstar of the late 1940s.

She was trained at Malton by the legendary Captain Charles Elsey to win the 1949 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Epsom Oaks just a few weeks later.

WHY IS IT SPECIAL?

As one of the first Pattern races for three-year-old fillies, it lets connections see how their fillies have matured over the winter.

FIRST WINNER? Ambergris, trained by Harry Wragg and ridden by Lester Piggott, she was the 4-9 favourite sparking a five year winning run for ‘The Jolly’.

Lester Piggott

WHY A CLASSIC TRIAL?

Simples - since 1961, seven winners have won the Investec Oaks - Noblesse (1963), Bireme (1980), Diminuendo (1988), Snow Bride (1989), Reams Of Verse (1997), Sariska (2009) & Snowfall (2021)

THE LUCK OF THE IRISH?

Irish-trained fillies have won eight times overall. Paddy Prendergast secured a hat-trick from 1963 to 1965 with Noblesse, Ela Marita and Arctic Melody. Vincent O’Brien won it with Where You Lead in 1973 whilst Jim Bolger has also won it three times courtesy of Condessa (1981), Give Thanks (1983) and Lush Lashes (2008).

Aidan O’Brien had his first win the race last year with Snowfall and this year returns with The Algarve.

Lush Lashes

LEADING TRAINERS?

The late Sir Henry Cecil won an astonishing nine times –Fatah Flare (1985), Indian Skimmer (1987), Diminuendo (1988), Snow Bride (1989), All At Sea (1992), Magnificient Style (1996), Reams Of Verse (1997), Passage Of Time (2007) and Aviate (2010). Sir Michael Stoute has eight victories but will not be represented today.

The late Sir Henry Cecil

LEADING RIDER? Top US rider Steve Cauthen, was aboard Last Feather (1982), then benefitted as retained jockey to Sir Henry Cecil between 1985-89 so rode five winners. Of those riding today, Frankie Dettori (Emily Upjohn) has five victories - Bahr (1998), Punctilious (2004) and the winners of three of the last six renewals; Star Of Seville (2015), So Mi Dar (2016) and Shutter Speed (2017).

HAT-TRICK HEAVEN

Garnie Bougoure rode a hat-trick of winners from 1963 to 1965 and Brian Taylor followed suit from 1966 to 1968. Twenty years later Steve Cauthen achieved the same remarkable treble from 1987 to 1989. Frankie Dettori became the latest treble-riding jockey in 2017 - could Emily Uphohn make it four winners in the last eight years today?

WHO ARE THE SPONSORS?

Steve Cauthen

HOW DO YORKSHIRE STABLES FIGURE?

Since the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes was first run in 1961 only one Yorkshire stable has managed to win it. That accolade goes to Middleham’s Mark Johnston who saddled Secret History to victory in 2005 and then Rose Of Kildare to success in 2020’s renewal.

Tattersalls are Europe’s largest Bloodstock Auctioneers and the world’s oldest, dating back to 1766. From Park Paddocks in Newmarket, Tattersalls offers more than 5,000 thoroughbreds each year. The nine different sales include market leaders in every category. Today will see another page written in the history of this significant contest.

INTRODUCTION The Group 3 Tattersalls Musidora Stakes is regarded as a trial for next month’s Cazoo Oaks at Epsom but is also a valuable prize in its own right, boasting a six-figure prize fund.

Since this race was first run in 1961 seven fillies have gone on to win both events –Noblesse was the first in 1963 and the most recent was last year’s superstar Snowfall.

TRAINER FORM John Gosden is the most successful trainer with a runner this year. He won this race for the first time in 1993 courtesy of Marillette and has since added five further victories. In fact, those five successes have all come in the last eight years, with his most recent victory coming courtesy of Shutter Speed in 2017.

GROUP FORM Last year’s winner Snowfall continued the trend of having run in a Group race before turning up here. She ran in no fewer than four Group races as a juvenile and if further evidence was needed the 2007 winner Passage Of Time did so having won an Italian Group 1 on her previous start. So, when looking for the winner of this year’s renewal previous Group race form is preferable.

TWO-YEAR-OLD FORM Past winners in recent seasons had mostly been competing at a high level during their juvenile season.

Both Rose Of Kildare and Snowfall had remarkably busy two-year-old campaigns, with the former having five wins from eleven starts. In the last five years each winner had at least three runs at two, the only horse to buck that trend was the 2017 winner Shutter Speed. The Algarve is the only one in today’s field that has had three trips to the track, so it will be interesting to see if experience really does pay.

RECENT FORM Having good recent form has been key in previous years. Three of the last four winners arrived here after already having a run that season.

The only exception to that rule was last year’s winner Snowfall.

BETTING The Tattersalls Musidora has often been a race for punters but more recently there has been a shift away from favourites. five of the last ten winners were favourites however the last four were not and of these four, two were a double figure price.

KEY TRENDS Trained by John Gosden Group Form as two-year-old Single figure SPs

CONCLUSION Charlie Appleby’s Life Of Dreams is having only her second start after no runs as a juvenile. Despite the great form of Godolphin this season, she would need to defy a lot of trends to win here. Aidan O’Brien ended his drought in the race last season with Snowfall and his runner The Algarve is rated only 2lb lower than Snowfall when she won, so must be respected on her first start as a three-year-old. John Gosden has a formidable record in the race and as such his runner Emily Upjohn is the pick of the bunch after a reappearance win at Sandown.

RACE DESCRIPTION Also part of the Pattern race pyramid is the Group 3 Tattersalls Musidora, is restricted to 3yo old fillies only so it provides a pure comparison. All are set to carry the same weight.

All the runners in this select field are entered in the Cazoo Oaks. Seven fillies have already done the York/Epsom double so consider your ante post bets.

KNAVESMIRE TIP A case can be made for all of these but the vote goes to EMILY UPJOHN, who created a big impression when defying a penalty in a novice event at Sandown last month. This is a much tougher contest but the daughter of Sea The Stars should be capable of making her mark at this level. The form of Life Of Dreams’ debut victory can be questioned but she won well and is entitled to improve for the experience. Luna Dorada edges out The Algarve to be the pick of the remainder.

RACE DESCRIPTION Back to competitive handicap conditions, this time for horses rated between 76 and 95, remember those nearest that ceiling are considered the best and will carry more weight, being Samburu here.

“Offer a chance for everyone” is a good maxim for those planning races and here the upper rating of 95 means that the spotlight will not be stolen by a proven superstar.

KNAVESMIRE TIP Samburu remains unbeaten after two starts and is sure to have plenty of supporters, but a chance is taken on another handicap newcomer in the shape of THE COOKSTOWN CAFU. The Invincible Spirit gelding (for the first time) improved in each of his three starts as a juvenile, finding only subsequent easy winner Blenheim Boy too good on his latest outing over this course and distance in October. He is expected to make up into an even better three-year-old and can mount a bold bid, while a race-fit Mojomaker also holds claims.

KNAVESMIRE TIP In this competitive contest it may pay dividends to side with the in-form EL PICADOR, who landed the spoils at Musselburgh last time. The son of Dansili hit the line with plenty of conviction on that occasion and may be able to follow up off 4lb higher.

Kasperenko recorded his latest victory over C&D and, although he has failed to fire so far this campaign, the eight-year-old rates the most immediate danger off 1lb lower than when recording that success. Pearl Beach completes the shortlist.

He has been somewhat hit-and-miss after shedding the maiden tag but may be able to sneak minor money if bouncing back. Official BHA Rating 76 SP: 13-2

Five Furlongs (1,000 metres) See page 77 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION We finish the day with a contest that is for 2yo colts, geldings and fillies that are registered with the European Breeders’ Fund. This means that the horse’s sire is registered in Europe with the EBF, which is a scheme to encourage the best in bloodstock breeding in Europe.

It’s the first season for all these runners meaning level weights for runners of the same sex, with the fillies such as Mersea, starting with less than the boys.

In tipping terms, it is a choice of the “Ps”, pedigree or pin.

If you are successful, then you can bask in the glow of picking the last York winner until at least 1.49pm tomorrow.

KNAVESMIRE TIP Honour Your Dreams and King’s Crown are closely matched on form but the former is the pick of the pair having come out on top when they met at Ripon last month. It would be no surprise to see them both go well but preference is for STARMAS, who lacks race experience but she is related to plenty of winners and represents a yard in good form with their juveniles. Urban Sprawl, Zebadaay and Talented are other newcomers to note.
