THE SKY BET YORK STAKES (G R O U P 2 )

Welcome It gives me great pleasure to welcome you back to York for what looks set to be a fabulous afternoon of racing and music, with a return to more normal summer weather. This is our only afternoon meeting that combines great racing with live music, as we welcome Kiesha, Mutya and Siobhán to York to perform after the last race.

This is also the penultimate day of The Go Racing in Yorkshire Summer Festival, now in its fourteenth year and firmly established thanks to the generous and loyal backing of our weeklong sponsors, Sky Bet and Goldsborough Hall. See if Sabrina Wiegman should have picked any of the jockeys, as they play “Paddock & Chips” at 1pm in the Parade Ring, all for a good cause.

In Yorkshire we have nine superb racecourses, over 120 training yards, the National Racing College, Jack Berry House and Goffs Bloodstock Sales, all making for a successful racing industry in the county. This year we have also focussed on the origin of the thoroughbred breed itself with two of the original three foundation stallions having been based in Yorkshire in the 1700’s – every one of tonight’s runners are related to one of these three! For further information, go to the Go Racing in Yorkshire digital channels for a fascinating video on the origins of the thoroughbred.

The most generous support of today’s sponsors has also helped stage a record race programme with prize money of over £250,000 with the £125,000 Group 2 Sky Bet York Stakes as the valuable feature, run over a mile and a quarter. Racing fans will remember Twice Over carrying the silks of the late Prince Khalid Abdullah to glory in both this race and then in the one he so generously sponsors, the Group One Juddmonte International. You can see by the York logo next to their name that three of this year’s field are already eyeing a similar summer. Royal Ascot winner Claymore seeks to continue Jane Chapple-Hyam’s tremendous season and so become only the second three-year-old to take this prize.

If you are a first-time visitor, please do explore the racecourse - use the maps on p4-5 & p6-7 to guide you, or just ask any of the team in the teal blazers who will be happy to help. My tip is to stand close to the rail as the horses race past, you can feel and as well as hear the thunder of hooves.

After racing a band with six UK number-one singles will be live on the stage to the south of the stands. A special request from our plumbers, please use all the facilities around the course during the evening, rather than all choosing to spend a penny just before concert time! Also, please respect our neighbours and home city as you make your way out this evening.

Thank you for your support today and during the wider Go Racing in Yorkshire Summer Festival. From Monday, our preparations will go up a gear as we are very much looking forward to staging our flagship meeting, the Sky Bet Ebor Festival (17-20 August) where some of the best horses from around the world look set to compete over four days of top-class racing, fashion and fun- obviously, we’d love to see you.

For now, I hope you thoroughly enjoy your afternoon.

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, as well as a dedicated viewing platform by the stage. - 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.

WHO AM I? Can you identify the horse, owner, trainer or jockey who has enjoyed big race success at York in the past from the clues provided?

1.

In 2013 I won the title of Champion Apprentice Jockey with 51 winners. In the last five seasons I’ve ridden 391 winners from just over 3000 rides and have tasted big race success on the Knavesmire this season on a John Quinn trained filly. A bonus point for anyone that can get the horse.

2.

I feature on the roll of honour for our feature race today. I am one of only two horses to win the race at odds on in the last 10 years. I was ridden by the brilliant Pat Smullen and finished my career out in the States where I finished second three times.

WHERE CAN I PLACE A B T

There are various points and different ways to bet here at York.

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.

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

Five Furlongs (1,000 metres)

See page 77 for conditions of this race.

RACE DESCRIPTION

This special race is set over the same distance as the Group 1 Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe, as run at the Sky Bet Ebor Festival in August, just five furlongs. However, even though this is the shortest distance in racing, this isn’t what makes this special.

All the horses today will be ridden by professional jump jockeys including Brian Hughes who was leading Jump Jockey of the 2021/22 season. Watch from the rails as these jockeys tackle the stalls then flying five furlongs of the Knavesmire, it could be as fast as they’ll go all season.

Remember, handicaps are designed for close competition, the handicapper is the independent assessor who rates horses on past performance seeking to get them crossing the line together, by handing out differing weights.

See what advice the Punter’s Panel has for them and you at 1.15pm.

LAST YEAR’S RACE Winner: SOUL SEEKER Trainer: David O’Meara Jockey: Tom Scudamore Age/Weight: 4-11-7 Runners: 10 SP:11/2 Tom Scudamore showed he was a man of many talents when galvanising Soul Seeker to victory against Son And Sannie. Held up in midfield he was shaken up a furlong from home to narrowly deny Paul Midgley from winning the race in back-to-back years.

KNAVESMIRE TIP VAL DE TRAVERS produced a career-best effort on his latest start at Musselburgh when scoring in impressive fashion. The four-year-old, who went up 8lb for that display, remains open to further progression for a stable currently in fine fettle. Stone Circle has benefited from being dropped to 5f on his last couple of starts, winning at Chepstow and Nottingham, while others for the shortlist include Son And Sannie, Eeh Bah Gum and last year’s winner Soul Seeker.

HOW MIGHT YOU SOLVE A BIG SPRINT HANDICAP? THE SKY BET DASH

This afternoon’s Sky Bet Dash looks a tricky betting proposition for novice racegoers with fifteen closely matched runners set to go to post. Is it best to plump for a lucky number, an interesting name or a set of jockey silks you like the look of? Whilst all of these strategies may throw up the odd winner, a safer and more prudent approach would be to apply some straightforward methodology.

Narrowing down the field of fifteen declared runners is easier than you think if you follow a few simple guidelines, to hopefully identify the winner of this and the other handicaps. Before we start, it is important to understand what a handicap is.

Once a horse has raced three times they are given an official rating (often referred to as a handicap mark) by the British Horseracing Authority. This provides a numerical guide to each horse’s level of ability. Ratings usually start at around 40 for a modest performer with the mighty Frankel finishing his career in the 140s. The ranking operates the opposite way around from a golf handicap, so each time a horse runs this rating is adjusted either upwards for a good performance or down for a weaker effort, so that it reflects the horses most recent form.

Each of these rating points are meant to reflect 1lb in weight, so looking at today’s race, Aberama Gold is rated 90 is considered 1lb “better” than Nationwide who is rated 89. If these horses were to race carrying the same weight theoretically Aberama Gold should win every time as he is the better horse. Races which were too predictable wouldn’t make good viewing and therefore the handicap is designed to set a level playing field.

So in this example Aberama Gold carries 1lb more than Nationwide, which should in theory see them cross the line together and that rule applies to all of the fifteen runners – but, despite dead heats being a possibility, you won’t ever see all fifteen runners cross the line together so how to separate them in advance?

Horses which won or ran well last time will attract the interest of the handicapper and a rise of 6 or 7lb can often follow. Sometimes this can prove a step too far as horses then struggle to concede weight to lower rated rivals. Eventually as the horse continues to run without winning their rating will come back down to a winnable mark and the whole cycle begins again. The art is working out which category your horse falls into.

Don’t forget to ensure you keep an eye and an ear out for non-runners, there will be announcements over the PA system and the screens around the course will be updated with non-runner information, as they have to be in it to win it!

1) FORM Here at York it often pays to side with horses in form but it is also important that they look like they still have a bit of improvement left. There are a few who come here without having the best of recent records and so might be best ignored today; Nomadic Empire, Kind Review & Atomic Lady.

2) THE DRAW Where a horse is drawn in the stalls can be an important factor, particularly in a sprint and is perhaps one of the most debated topics in racing. Some punters swear that being drawn close to a rail is an advantage as it keeps a horse focused on running straight. However here at York, in recent seasons those drawn down the centre of the track have often held the upper hand, the counter logic being that their jockey can keep an eye on the competition on both flanks. Perhaps Aberama Gold can use this to his advantage.

3) DISTANCE Having a runner who has already shown their liking for a particular trip can be invaluable. Fortamour, Nationwide and Lucky Man have all won over today’s disrance 4) GROUND If you thought the debates over draw were intense then try talking about the impact of ground to a racing anorak. In simple terms, different horses run better on different types of surface, just like some human athletes might prefer cross country to the track. Nomadic Empire is one who will enjoy a quicker surface.

However Music Society’s wins have come on a surface that is a little softer. So make sure to check the weather and the ground description.

5) YORK RECORD “Horses for courses” is not a popular phrase by accident, just like football teams have a lucky ground. This year we have plenty of horses that have won at the course and distance, Aberama Gold, Venturous and Gale Force Maya could all put that good form to use.

6) CONCLUSION Following these simple rules has helped to narrow down the shortlist. Going on a hunch that ‘good to firm’ will be the description, the Michael Dods-trained Gale Force Maya might well continue his consistent form and could take all the beating. He’s already won and placed twice from three starts at the Knavesmire and despite being top weight should have a great chance.

RACE DESCRIPTION A handicap by conditions but valuable enough for high class horses that may also perform well at the yet higher level of races.

This time for 3yo+ horses, rated up to 105 (like for cricketers, a century is an achievement). The shorter distance of only six furlongs usually makes for a tight finish.

The press selections board by the Parade Ring might provide a clue or at least someone to blame.

KNAVESMIRE TIP In this competitive contest, marginal preference is for MONDAMMEJ, who hit the line with plenty of conviction when runner-up to a classy rival in a Listed race here. The five-year-old could relish the step back up in trip and looks poised to give another good account. Lucky Man only found a subsequent Listed winner too strong on his penultimate outing and he rates the most immediate danger. Silver Samurai was by no means disgraced in the Wokingham and he also merits consideration.

The Sky Bet York Stakes

FACT FILE: WHERE DOES IT FIT?

As both as a Group two and a mid summer affair, it can be a testing ground for thoroughbreds who might yet make the final step up to Group One company. Often they have looked impressive early in their careers and maybe suffered an injury or just lost their way a little. For others, it can mark a step out of handicap company before the glaring spotlight of Group One contests.

Distance 1m 2f 56y

Prize money £125,000

SOUND FAMILIAR? Like the feature race of the day down in Berkshire, it is a middle distance affair that lets the classic generation take on their elders. There is a 3-2 split in favour of the older horses today.

HAVE ANY WINNERS GONE ON TO HIGHER GLORY?

Mukhadram went on to top-level success after winning here, the Coral-Eclipse his top-level breakthrough, while Sheikhzayedroad progressed to be a high-class stayer, winning the Group 1 Northern Dancer Stakes at Woodbine on his next start and taking Group 2 Doncaster Cup and British Champions Long Distance Cup success later on in his career. Plus the below dual success for the famous Pink & Green silks of Juddmonte Farms.

THE JUDDMONTE CONNECTION

Twice Over

A little out of the usual profile for this race, Twice Over is perhaps the most successful winner of the race - already a Group 1 Champion Stakes winner (twice) and Coral-Eclipse champion, the late Prince Khalid Abdullah’s brilliant colt won the Sky Bet York Stakes on the way to Juddmonte International glory for the sponsor the following month. In becoming the first thoroughbred owned by the big race sponsor to take the August Blue Riband, there is a backhanded compliment to today’s contest, as the ideal prep race. Confirming that sense of testing the trip and the track, three are already entered for August and the other two could yet be supplemented.

DOES AGE MATTER?

Given that 14 of the 16 winners have either been four, five or six-year-olds, then you have to say the answer is yes... to an extent.

The first winner, Best Alibi in 2006, was the only three-year-old to have won the race, while Tullius is the oldest winner of any Group 2, taking the 2015 renewal at the grand old age of seven.

Four-year-olds did have the best record, with five wins from the 16 runnings, until Bangkok success last year that tied them at five a piece. Those aged six have Tullius three wins despite none since 2012.

Therefore, the stats look against the three-year-old runners in the field today, the exciting Jane Chapple-Hyam-trained Claymore who takes on his elders for the first time this afternoon as well as locally trained Dark Moon Rising who is on that same unknown journey.

50

LEADING TRAINERS?

Saeed bin Suroor

It’s been a pretty even spread in the 16 runnings of the Sky Bet York Stakes, as there are just three trainers have two wins to their name. Saeed bin Suroor, who saddled both the 2007 winner, Stage Gift, and Kirklees to win in 2009.

Roger Charlton, who trained last year’s winner, Aspetar, and the 2016 champion, Time Test. Plus Andrew Balding, who joined them with Bangkok’s win last year to go with Tullius victory in 2015. Saaed Bin Suroor is the only one represented, as Dubai Future bids to make it a third win.

LEADING RIDER? Suprisingly, this race has not yet produced a dual winner from the saddle, but with the likes of Ryan Moore, Jamie Spencer, Frankie Dettori and Dane O’Neill already on the roll of honour, it’s surely only a matter of time before one of these pilots takes their second Sky Bet York Stakes title. However , somehwat incredibly, it will be a seventeenth and new name joining that quest this afternoon.

We’ve been making betting better for years.

We’re hugely passionate about sport which is why we sponsor the English Football League and have a longestablished partnership with York Racecourse, including being the founding and consistent sponsor of today’s big race.

HOW DO YORKSHIRE STABLES FIGURE?

In truth, not superbly - but that’s certainly not to say there hasn’t been any success for the White Rose County. Skipton-born William Haggas saddled Mukhadram to a 2013 victory, while Middleham’s Mark Johnston trained Elarqam to 2019 success, having also finished third as a three-year-old. The Kevin Ryan-trained Dark Moon Rising, is the sole representative for Yorkshire and has already run well over course and distance behind Desert Crown in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante, will it be a change of fortunes for the North?

RACE DESCRIPTION The Sky Bet York Stakes is part of the Pattern pyramid which denotes the best contests, Listed, Group 3, Group 2 (this race) and Group 1.

This race is open to 3yo+ horses and is over a trip of ten furlongs.

Weight allowances are made for the variation in strength based on age or sex; so, Claymore and Dark Moon Rising start with the lowest burdens as both are three-year-olds. The potential complication of penalty weight being allocated to balance a recent success at this level of higher is avoided today.

An in-form stable could be the clue here, see the table at the beginning of this race and take a note as the winner may return for the Group One Juddmonte International on 17 August.

LAST YEAR’S RACE Winner: BANGKOK Trainer: Andrew Balding Jockey: David Probert Age/Weight: 5-9-6 SP: 14/1 Runners: 5 Bangkok sprang a bit of a surprise when winning despite taking a keen hold. He kept on gamely and even though he was pressed either side, he just prevailed to win by a head.

KNAVESMIRE TIP The Jane Chapple-Hyam-trained CLAYMORE improved for the step up to this trip when winning the Group 3 Hampton Court at Royal Ascot last month and, getting a handy weight-for-age allowance, he ticks plenty of boxes. Dubai Honour hasn’t been seen since disappointing in Dubai, but he has some excellent form in the book against top company and is likely to be in the mix, while Dubai Future was an easy winner of the Wolferton and also enters calculations.

KNAVESMIRE TIP Having hit the crossbar on his first two racecourse starts, CATCH THE PADDY duly landed the odds at Hamilton last month. The form of his debut second has been franked (the winner has twice run well in Group company), and he may prove too strong for his rivals.

Richard Fahey’s Dare To Hope, who appeared unlucky not to finish closer in the Super Sprint, could make amends in this smaller field, while the hat-trick seeking Florida Filly has the ability to play a leading role.

AUGUST CALENDAR

With the first stage of entries received for the feature races at the

17 Wednesday Things to do:

Win on of the best races in the world

Global superstar Mishriff joined the illustrious roll of honour by winning the 2021 Juddmonte International. This year looks to be another absolute cracker with a plethora of Group 1 winners from across the generations featuring in the early entries. It is a 50/50 split, of Classic generation runners, pitted up against their older, more experienced counterparts. Defending champion Mishriff looks set to return. In his way stands Westover who decimated his rivals in the Irish Derby. Baaeed has already been spoken about as the best miler since Frankel and is currently rated the best horse in the world, it could be one of the greatest renewals we’ve ever had. While there are unanswered questions about his stamina, there are none about his class, which could well see him handle the extra two furlongs. Aidan O’Brien is not without his usual strong contingent and Luxembourg might well be the forgotten one. The once Derby favourite has been out with an injury but if anyone can get him back it’s the master of Ballydoyle. Joining him could be the likes of Stone Age, Point Lonsdale and Epsom Oaks winner Tuesday. John and Thady Gosden are well represented in the entries by the Group One winning pair Nashawa and Inspiral. Finally, how can we forget the Godolphin runners, in the entries is the 2021 Epsom Derby and King George winner Adayar, although not seen this season count him out at your peril. Joining him could be the St. James Palace winner Coroebus. Things may become clearer as both the King George and Goodwood inform the picture but whatever happens, it will not disappoint!

Become the fifteenth colt to win Sky Bet Great Voltigeur and Cazoo St Leger

Fourteen colts have done the double and this year’s list of entries provides plenty of hope that 2022 could see number fifteen. Charlie Appleby was responsible for the 2021 winner Yibir who ineligable to take his place at Doncaster being a gelding but he may be tempted this year should one of his colts win the prize. Walk Of Stars and Nahanni both ran in this year’s Epsom Derby but failed to put their best foot forward. The flatter track should suit them more and should they return to form they will be lively players.

Aidan O’Brien’s record speaks for itself and he should once again be well represented. He has no fewer than 10 entries and right at the top of the list is Changingofthegaurd. Fresh from his Ascot win, he looks tailor made for a race like this however does carry a 3lb penalty for that success. Joining him could be the likes of Star Of India, Blue Grass and Aikhal. Francesco Clemente may have slipped under most people’s radars after two low key victories. John and Thady Gosden may well have been keeping this unexposed son of Dubawi for a race like this and he very much falls into the could be anything category.

18 Thursday Things to do:

Second time lucky?

Last year’s second Albaflora is set to return to try and go one better and win the Darley Yorkshire Oaks for Ralph Beckett. In her way are some very talented three-year-old’s, that include the Clarehaven filly Emily Upjohn who has already tasted success once over the Knavesmire in the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes. Alpinista was mightily impressive over in France last weekend, it looks as though she may be aimed at a tilt at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, so a summer break could loom. The William Haggas trained Lilac Road hasn’t been seen since her brilliant victory in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Middleton Fillies’ Stakes. She sprang a bit of a surprise for the Haggas team but more than deserves her place in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks, should she decide to line up. Tuesday would look to be the best chance for Ballydoyle and she could well go in search of a hattrick of wins in the race for Aidan O’Brien.

Sky Bet Ebor Festival, we mark your calendar.

19 Friday Things to do:

All about the girls

We will see plenty of the world’s fastest horses on the planet here come August for the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe. Among those entered are Miss Yorkshire herself Winter Power. The King Power filly has already tasted success in this race and despite a slightly more subdued campaign, surely she will have been aimed at this race. Highfield Princess ran a screamer last time out at Ascot, that very much confirmed her win in the 1895 Duke Of York Clipper Logistics. Trained by John Quinn, she is a filly going places and could easily be up to winning this, though others would urge a tilt at the £400,000 Group 2 Sky Bet City of York over two furlongs further come Saturday. Dramatised could become the first two-year-old since Kingsgate Native in 2007 to win the race. She couldn’t have done much more this season after bolting up at Ascot in the Queen Mary.

Follow in the hooves of greats like Mill Reef or Rock of Gibraltar

The Ridler was somewhat of a shock in the Norfolk Stakes and his owners looked just as bemused as the rest of the racing public! Trained

by Yorkshire’s own Richard Fahey, he could well turn up in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack. The Antarctic was narrowly beaten in a thrilling race behind Wadao, after a disappointing effort behind The Ridler. She could well be joined by stablemate Blackbeard, who can be a bit of a tricky customer for the stalls handlers before the race! Noble Style was forced to miss his engagement in the Coventry Stakes at Ascot but could return in this year’s renewal. The last horse to mention is the Coventry winner himself, Bradsell. Bought by Victorious Racing after his win at the Knavesmire, he then went onto pummel his rivals under a triumphant Hollie Doyle.

20 Saturday Things to do:

Earn a place in the Folklore of the Knavesmire

That is the honour that awaits the victor of one of the toughest flat handicaps in the world and one of the richest in Europe, the £500,000 Sky Bet Ebor.

The beauty of a handicap is that you can make a case for all twenty-two who finally make the stalls, never mind the full entry list. So, which to mention; Sky Bet Race to the Ebor trial winners seem a great place to start. Valley Forge took home the Sky Bet Melrose last year, defeating all 21 rivals to place himself in the frame for the big one this year. Gaassee threw his hat into the ring for the Haggas team after an excellent staying performance.

Earl Of Tyrone will be hoping he can follow in the footsteps of last year’s Irish raider Sonnyboyliston.

Hopefully the above sets the scene for a twenty eight race festival where £80,000 is the lowest prize fund and the richest maiden race in the land, the British Stallion Studs EBF Convivial Maiden Stakes, or the richest nursery handicap in the Sky Bet Stakes, add to the cocktail of high fashion and high class sport.

TOP JOCKEY AT YORK The Championship will be determined by the number of winners recorded and in the event of a tie, placed efforts will prove the deciding factor.

The winner will receive the acclaimed Living North Trophy.

2022 STANDINGS

Royal Acclaim announced herself in some style in the John Smith’s City Wall Stakes for Andrea Atzeni and James Tate. A return to the knavesmire for the Coolmore Nunthorpe very much looks on the cards.

RACE DESCRIPTION A handicap this time for horses rated between 66 and 85.

This race is open to 4yo+ horses and is over a trip of 2 miles, so watch them start in front of the Stands and then complete a circuit.

Need some help? Look further for the letter “C”, which shows that the horse has won at York or “D” which denotes a win over this distance; see how Danni California has both initials after her name.

A race for the stayers of the flat racing world, watch them come past the stands twice as they race over the longest distance at York.

KNAVESMIRE TIP GEREMIA caught the eye when finishing well over 1m4f here a couple of weeks ago. The four-year-old should relish this step back up in trip, having placed over course and distance in May, and he remains on a workable mark. Danni California and Red Force One are recent winners who merit plenty of respect, while Blow Your Horn and Fox Vardy complete the shortlist.

KNAVESMIRE TIP The Tim Easterby-trained GIBSIDE was a most impressive winner at Ripon last week and, receiving 10lb and upwards from all his rivals here, he could prove hard to beat. The biggest threat might be Let Her Loose, who has won three times already this season and is clearly a mare in fine form at present. Molinari rarely runs a bad race and, although he’s running off a career-high mark, he looks to have solid credentials.

RACE DESCRIPTION A final handicap to solve, this time limited to 3yo’s travelling over seven furlongs.

“Offer a chance for everyone” is a good maxim for those planning races and in this contest the upper rating of 80 means that these are still quality horses but they won’t have their spotlight stolen by a real superstar.

Why not watch them in Parade Ring and see if you can find any clues.

Ey Up Its The Boss’ winning streak came to an end at Newcastle on his latest outing but he could easily bounce back, while Bond Power shouldn’t be underestimated either.
