SKY BET EBOR FESTIVAL 2026 FEATURING THE GROUP ONE LEGENDS GLOBAL YORKSHIRE OAKS
REAL HORSEPOWER
Welcome A very warm welcome to Ladies Day at the Sky Bet Ebor Festival featuring the £600,000 Legends Global Yorkshire Oaks. This Group 1 feature alongside the Sky Bet Lowther, the EBF & Sir Henry Cecil Galtres Stakes and the British European Breeders’ Fund backed 7-furlong handicap, make up four races offering a reward of in excess of £1m in prize money exclusively for connections of female horses. On day when the feature race takes on the name of Legends Global it is fitting that we celebrate other Legends. Of course, Sir Henry Cecil from the training ranks with both the EBF and Sir Henry Cecil Galtres Stakes as well as the wrought iron gates that serve to remember him. In the bloodstock world few were more legendary than Harry Beeby, honoured by the valuable Harry’s Half Million by Goffs. With a modern legend in Sir Kevin Sinfield, where the ultra-competitive mile heritage handicap promotes his 7 in 7 Grand Finale in aid of MND. This fabulous action, chasing a record of nigh on £2m in prize money is made possible by both your attendance and the backing of our partners and sponsors – thank you. We are delighted to have renewed and extended our partnership with Legends Global who work to ensure we are all fed and watered. A relationship that extends back over four decades is set to deepen. This Group 1 has attracted several contenders with of proven class, notably Kalpana who carried the Juddmonte silks to glory in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes last month for the Andrew Balding operation. If she is the flag bearer for the older contenders, then Johanna Walsh is a fine representative for the classic generation having won the Group One Juddmonte Irish Oaks for trainer Joseph O’Brien. It could be a family affair as his father, Aidan, runs Minnie Hauk, the triple English, Irish and Yorkshire Oaks winner of last season. As evidence of the global stature of the race, the winner will be in high demand at future big occasions. A berth in the Breeders Cup Filly & Mare in Kentucky complete with travel expenses is the westbound option. Heading east, the Japan Racing Association offer a valuable bonus to the horse that wins on the Knavesmire then the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. In the Sky Bet Lowther, the richest Group 2 for juvenile fillies success for the locally owned and trained, In The Black, would make a memorable day for Charlie Bond whose colours are also carried by Big Negotiator. Market leader, Libertango, was victorious at Royal Ascot for George Boughey whereas Moonrise, for Andrew Balding won a Group 3 in Berkshire on King George Day. Bint Archange runs for Richard Hughes, a man who won the race on three occasions as a rider. If you have a fancy for the Sky Bet Ebor, be at the Winner’s Enclosure for 11.30am, as the live stalls draw is conducted. Significantly, it will also link the 22 good causes in the Sky Bet Ebor Community Sweepstake to their contender, see pages 50-51 for more details of this £46,000 initiative. World Pool is in operation today for all tote bets. As explained on page 26 World Pool is a tremendous initiative in globalising world betting and helping the sport we love. We are operating Tote Guarantee oncourse today and if your bet with through your tote account, the tote are offering money back 2nd on all York races. In a day full of sporting action, I hope you can find time to visit the Grantley Hall Ebor Fashion Lawn before 2.30pm offering great prizes for all you stylish racegoers, plus it is great fun! Cheer the RAF Falcons as they drop in at 1.20pm, listen out for the Ripon City Brass Band, dance into the evening with The Monotones, share a bottle of Gardet Origine champagne for just £48.50 a bottle, enjoy the 360-selfie camera or taking your own selfie at the living flower wall; whatever, it is just our pleasure to welcome you and hope you thoroughly enjoy the racing and experience of the Sky Bet Ebor Festival.

NEW HEDGE As part of Green Knavesmire 300 we planted two miles of hedge around the eastern boundary including the six & seven furlong starts to improve landscaping and support wildlife. As they grow the blend of hawthorn, hornbeam, hazel, prunus and field maple plants will become more obvious.

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. RaceiQ Par Times A new statistics based predictor, it is the expected win time for a specific race based on the track, distance, going, race class and conditions. Based on the going at time of printing the day before racing at 16:00, being: GOOD, GOOD TO SOFT (IN PLACES) For further Race iQ insights, visit racingtv.com/results and click the RaceiQ icon at the top right. 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.

A RACECOURSE FOR ALL
We want the racecourse to offer both a welcome and an enjoyable evening to all our racegoers and in delivering that we recognise that some may need additional assistance from us. We are also pleased to recognise the sunflower lanyard scheme.
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 accessible 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 a member of the team and they will radio to arrange your collection. Thank you for your patience as the buggies have a maximum of six passengers, and only one is wheelchair accessible 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. 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. Considerately piloted mobility scooters are permitted. Can I bring somebody to help? Yes, we appreciate that will come in various forms, we hope our “companion 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. We are now registered with the Access Card (nimbus) scheme which helps with advance booking. 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 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 accessible capability, please ask for directions, the team nearby have keys, 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. Can I bring my assistance dog? Of course, as the tribute to Grady demonstrates, registered assistance dogs are most welcome. There was one more thing? Please ask, we are keen to help wherever we can, appreciating our racegoers may face a range of challenges.

THE SKY BET GREAT VOLTIGEUR (GROUP 2)
THE JUDDMONTE INTERNATIONAL (GROUP 1)
With Aidan O’Brien having a strong hand in the race once more, it was no surprise to see Antigua give the rest of the Ballydoyle contingent a good pace to aim at.
An absolutely vintage Juddmonte International saw the sponsors owned Item stay on best of all to give Andrew Balding his first winner in the race.
Market leader Christmas Day was positioned in second by Ryan Moore, with the rest of the field travelling nicely in behind during the early stages. Antigua was allowed to stride clear through the first five furlongs under Ronan Whelan. However, as they rounded the home bend, he was soon reeled in by the chasing pack. Ryan Moore was the first to challenge aboard the Betfred Epsom Derby winner but was quickly joined by Galiyan and Pierre Bonnard on his inside. The three became locked in battle a long way from home, while the eye was drawn to the strong-travelling Maltese Cross under a confident-looking Tom Marquand. He stalked his rivals down the home straight, moving alongside the hard-driven Christmas Day at the two-furlong pole. Once asked the question, he quickly put two lengths between himself and the Ballydoyle runner. Pierre Bonnard was not going to let him have it all his own way, though, and stuck gamely to his task along the inside rail. For a moment, it looked as though he might get back up to challenge the William Haggas runner, but the winner kept finding in front to score by two lengths. Our sponsors Sky Bet went 5/2 after the race for him to follow up in the Betfred St Leger and become just the 16th horse to complete the Knavesmire Town Moor double.
It was Hawk Mountain who took up the running after breaking well from stall three under Wayne Lordan.

Ryan Moore once again sat just behind the leader, as he had done earlier on, content to stalk his stablemate for the majority of the contest. Defending champion Ombudsman was forced to watch his rivals from the very back of the pack. William Buick did not hang around there for long and, once they swept round the bend for home, he sent him up the rail in search of a more favourable position. He successfully picked off his rivals one by one but soon found himself short of room behind the strongtravelling Constitution River, who looked to be travelling best halfway down the home straight. Once asked for his effort by Ryan Moore, he did pick up but his early exertions looked to have taken their toll, as he failed to pull clear of his rivals. Ombudsman also began to run out of steam and it was instead Almaqam who took it up under Kieran Shoemark for Ed Walker. The pair looked to have the race in the bag, but Colin Keane would not be denied aboard the Juddmonte-owned Item, who stormed home to pip Almaqam in the shadows of the post, winning by a head.

THE SKY BET LOWTHER STAKES (GROUP 2) WHERE DOES THE NAME COME FROM
It was named in memory of Hugh Lowther, the 5th Earl of Lonsdale (the same chap behind boxing’s belts and the first President of the AA). It was established in 1946, being won by Southernwood.
DISTANCE
Six furlongs (2,400 metres)
Prize money
£250,000
Record Breaker Tiggy Wiggy’s winning time of 1m 8.90s in 2014 smashed the six furlong record. In comparison, Soar’s victory in 2004 came in a time of 1m 15.90s.
4/12
LATEST WINNERS WERE FAVOURITES
Criquette Head won the race four times for France in 1982, 1987, 1996 and 2009 and Pascal Bary (2007) and Philippe Sogorb (2013) added two more for our cross-channel con·frère.

winners ran in the Princess Margaret Stakes on their last run.
Latest winners ran within the last 41 days.
Since 1974, the prize has remained in Yorkshire just five times. However, four of the last eight winners were trained in the county. Richard Fahey took the prize to Malton in 2016 with Queen Kindly, while the trophy went to Middleham in 2017, after Mark Johnston’s Threading again boosted Yorkshire’s record in the race. Spigot Lodge have claimed two of the last seven, Living in the Past (2019) and then again in 2022 with Swingalong. Today the flag is flown Karl Burke (Love A Giggle & Wild Blossom), Kevin Ryan (Angels Passing), Geoff Oldroyd (In The Black) and the Faheys (Ruby Moon & Crystal Queen).

TRAINERS Karl Burke and Ed Walker hasve emerged as trainers to watch after each winning twice in the last seven years. Karl Burke has a strong hand again this year with Love A Giggle & Wild Blossom. RECENT FORM With twelve of the last twenty winners of the Sky Bet Lowther Stakes having won on their most recent starts, it suggests that recent form is an important factor to consider. Interestingly, of the seven who fail on this trend, five had achieved a top three finish and only Mood Queen and Secret Hideaway completely missed out by each finishing 6th. BETTING 2023 winner Swingalong joined Living In The Past, Hooray, Best Terms and Besharah in causing a stir when landing the spoils at double figure prices. There has been a move away from short priced horses with only three winning favourite/joint favourites in the last ten years. Consider horses above 5/1, so everyone but Libertango and Star Of State.

KEY RACES The Princess Margaret and Queen Mary Stakes, both run at Ascot over 6f and 5f respectively, have been the best pointers in recent years. If you were to favour one race then it would have to be the Princess Margaret Stakes with Enthused (2000), Russian Rhythm (2002), Soar (2004), Lady Of The Desert (2009), Besharah (2015) and Zain Claudette (2021), all having followed up their Ascot victory by winning this afternoon’s race. Living In The Past was also third in the Princess Margaret Stakes before winning here in 2019. Alta Regina is the only one of the field to have ran in both. Big Negotiator, Bint Archange, Crownbreaker, Crystal Queen, Love A Giggle, Shimmering Sun & Wild Blossom all ran in the Queen Mary. Miss Kodi is the sole declared runner to have just run in the Princess Margaret. DISTANCE There is nothing to be gained in this area as in recent seasons there is a pretty even split of winning fillies which had already won over six furlongs and those that are attempting this trip for the first time. KEY TRENDS Won or placed last time out Ran in the Princess Margaret Stakes Above 5/1
CONCLUSION It's easy to make the case for George Boughey's Libertango. His juvenile won the Group 3 Albany at the Royal meeting before narrowly finishing second behind Senorita Bonita in a red hot Group 2 at Newmarket. Favourites however don't have the best record in the last ten years and it may be wise to follow one at a bigger price. Wild Blossom was sent off a short price at Royal Ascot in the Queen Mary but failed to land a blow, she bounced back at Goodwood and can't be underestimated. Alta Regina ran in both the Queen Mary and Princess Margaret and could be one to run into a place at a big price. The preference however is for MISS KODI. Clive Cox excels with his juveniles and she is the only one in the field to run in just the Princess Margaret. A winner already this season, she is the one to be with from a trends perspective.

KNAVESMIRE TIP Libertango was an impressive winner of the Albany at Royal Ascot before tasting defeat for the first time in the Duchess Of Cambridge at Newmarket’s July Festival. The switch to a flatter track looks to be a positive, but she may have to play second fiddle to STAR OF STATE. Runner-up when displaying signs of inexperience on debut to Livenka, who had a couple of outings under her belt, she then won in the manner of a very smart filly at Leopardstown and is expected to take another step forward. Livenka franked the form herself in a valuable contest at Naas and is respected, along with Wild Blossom and Moonrise.

Goffs are grateful to York Racecourse for allowing us to commemorate Harry Beeby with the naming of today’s flagship race. Harry Beeby was an iconic part of DBS, now Goffs UK, for many years having joined the fledgling company as a Partner in 1964, serving as DBS Managing Director from 1976 to 1998 and Chairman from 1988 to 2016 before being named Honorary President of Goffs UK in 2016, a title he held until his death in 2021. Throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s Harry shaped DBS into the vibrant Company that became Goffs UK working alongside co-founders Willie Stephenson and Kenneth Oliver, colleagues Mouse White and Michael Dale, and his successor as both Managing Director and Chairman, Henry Beeby. Harry brought a unique sense of family, enjoyment and welcome to the business of bloodstock sales and was also a vibrant, much respected and world class auctioneer whilst he was a true innovator who was never afraid of trying something new to drive the business forward as evidenced by his introduction of the Breeze-Up sales concept to Europe in 1977. In 2012 the TBA awarded him the Andrew Devonshire Award for services to the industry which acknowledged his huge contribution to the marketplace for over 40 years, largely ensuring there was a vibrant alternative to the market leader in the UK. In 1998 Harry and Henry introduced the Premier Yearling Stakes as a unique incentive to promote their Doncaster yearling sales. It was an instant hit, so much so that the Racing Post report on the inaugural running wrote “Move over Saatchi & Saatchi, it’s time you made way for Beeby & Beeby”. Harry was immensely proud of the race and its record of producing a competitive event every year as well as acting as a stepping stone several for true stars like Acclamation, Dark Angel and Wootton Bassett to name just three. He attended every running until 2019 and always enjoyed the spectacle of the race as well as meeting clients and friends, many of whom were one and the same.

RACE DESCRIPTION A six-furlong contest is only for 2yo horses that were catalogued and auctioned in the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sales of August, 2025. The half dozen fillies in this race are granted a weight allowance based on their relative physical development compared to the boys and thus start by carrying less weight at 8st 11lb, see Vollering amongst those to benefit. At the other end of the scale, if a horse has won a race then they shoulder a “penalty” burden, the better the category of any such win then the greater the penalty weight, notice how Tokaido has been “punished” for his Group 2 win. An in-form stable could be the clue here, see the table at the beginning of this race.
LAST YEAR’S RACE Winner: SONG OF THE CLYDE Trainer: Clive Cox Jockey: Rossa Ryan Age/Weight: 2-9-2 Runners: 21 SP: 15/2 Prominent throughout on the far side and led with just over a furlong to go.

KNAVESMIRE TIP It is very difficult to oppose SUN GODDESS after her recent Group 1 success in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh. Aidan O’Brien’s filly has proved to be a relative bargain after being purchased for 120,000 pounds at the Goffs UK Premier yearling sale and connections have opted to take advantage of the excellent prize money on offer. Tokaido appears the most obvious threat following his Prix Robert Papin victory, while the unbeaten Satellite Of Love is the pick of Clive Cox’s trio as he seeks a fourth win on the bounce in this valuable contest.

HELPING YORKSHIRE EBOR COMMUNITY SWEEPSTAKE The Ebor Community sweepstake is an initiative which seeks to thank, celebrate and reward some of the countless thousands who have helped others in the county.
Working with our partners at Sky Bet and others, we invited nominations. Out of the 100+ entries, we now have shortlisted 22 who will all be joining us on Saturday – they will each be assigned a runner in the Sky Bet Ebor and the charity or community group attached to the winning horse will receive a prize of £20,000. What is more, the second placed horse will earn £5,000 for its connected good cause, £2,000 to the third place duo and all the others benefit from a £1,000 donation. By Noon today, they will know which horse they are cheering on. You can find out live in the Parade Ring from 11.30am

Sir Kevin Sinfield’s original “7 in 7” challenge, it was the extraordinary run he undertook in December 2020 for his friend and former Leeds Rhinos teammate Rob Burrow. • • • • • •
7 marathons in 7 consecutive days 📅 Started 1 December 2020 Each marathon had to be completed in under four hours The aim was to raise money and awareness The original fundraising target was £77,777, reflecting Burrow’s famous No. 7 shirt. He ultimately raised more than £2.2 million through the challenge.
By 2026, Sir Kevin had raised more than £15 million across six challenges, with a seventh and final 7 in 7 planned for 27 September to 3 October 2026. That final challenge will involve seven ultra-marathons in seven days, visiting all 12 English Super League grounds and finishing at Old Trafford. Today’s race is to raise awareness and in the hope that people will be able to donate here:

About One Mile (1,600 metres) See page 94 for conditions of this race.
RACE DESCRIPTION A competitive heritage handicap for 3yo+ horses, run over a mile. 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. The best in past performance will be the highest rated, meaning Point Lynas will carry more weight than the rest. Look for C (has won at York) or D (has won over this distance) For example, Bullet Point has the double-consonant suffix.

KNAVESMIRE TIP Centigrade showed plenty of promise as a juvenile against some smart individuals and returned from a lengthy absence to win at Southwell in June. Ralph Beckett’s colt has the potential to be better than his opening mark of 102, but whether he is streetwise enough against experienced handicappers is a concern. Mezcala has won two valuable prizes this season, including the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot, but a wide draw tempers enthusiasm and the vote goes to last year’s winner BULLET POINT. He took a step in the right direction when runner-up at the Shergar Cup earlier this month and that may have set him up for a repeat success off 1lb higher.

THE LEGENDS GLOBAL YORKSHIRE OAKS (GROUP 1) A BRIEF HISTORY
DISTANCE
One mile and four furlongs (2,400 metres)
The race was established in 1849, when it was originally restricted to fillies aged three. When the present system of race grading was introduced in 1971, the Legends Global Yorkshire Oaks was classed at Group 1 level. The race was opened up to older fillies and mares in 1991.
Prize money £600,000
EPSOM TO YORK
The name ‘Oaks’ tends to lend its name to all top class races for fillies. The Legends Global Yorkshire Oaks often features fillies which previously ran in the Oaks at Epsom. The first to achieve victory in both races was Brown Duchess in 1861, the most recent was Minnie Hauk in 2025.

AGE Three-year-olds would appear to be the age group to concentrate on as they have won 22 of the 34 renewals since the race was opened up to older fillies in 1991. The victories of Snowfall, Warm Heart, Content and Minnie Hauk in 2025, saw them keep their advantage over their older rivals. Alpinista became only the second five-year-old to win the race in the last 20 years, the other being Enable. Kalpana is the only five-year-old in the field but as the highest rated runner, she could well be capable of becoming the third. TRAINERS Aidan O’Brien has nine wins in the Legends Global Yorkshire Oaks, he has a strong hand again this year with Minnie Hauk & Sugar Island. RECENT FORM Whilst eight of the last fourteen winners arrived here on the back of a win, four fillies had finished second, which confirms the fact that a filly needs to be at the top of her game coming into the race. Taking the recent form angle a little further we see that all of the last ten winners had contested a Group 1 on their last start showing that you need to be a top-class performer to go close.

KEY RACES With three-year-olds holding sway it isn’t surprising that the Betfred Epsom Oaks has provided a number of winners of this race. Alexandrova, 2017’s winner Enable, 2020 champion, Love, 2021 superstar Snowfall and last year's winner Minnie Hauk have completed the double in recent years. The Juddmonte Irish Oaks also stands up well, probably as there are only five weeks between the two races making it much easier for a trainer to keep his filly in tip-top condition. 10 of the last 23 Irish Oaks winners made their way to the Knavesmire, with Minnie Hauk becoming the ninth to record the double. BETTING Those towards the head of the betting are more often than not the group to focus on. Eight of the previous nine winners were sent off favourite and of those eight, five were odds on. Only three horses have won at over 100/30, those being Pleascach in 2015, Tapestry a year earlier and the biggest-priced winner came in 2023 year when Warm Heart won at 9/1. KEY TRENDS Focus on the three-year-olds Top two finish last time Ran at Epsom or The Curragh Favourite
CONCLUSION A vintage renewal of the Legends Global Yorkshire Oaks will see Minnie Hauk bid to become the first since Enable to win the race for a second time. She has been running in all the right races this season but did fail to finish in the top two last time out in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. Kalpana brings obvious claims after winning aforementioned race in fine style. Despite all of her class, she will have to become the first since Alpinista and only the third five-year-old to win the contest. Inis Mor finished second in the Juddmonte Irish Oaks at the Curragh, when staying on well from the back of the field. She could well chase home JOHANNA WALSH once again, with the Joseph O'Brien trained daughter of Sea The Stars fancied to make it back to back Group One wins. She ticks all the key trends and looks like the one to give the older horses most to think about. Statistics supplied by an independent analyst. All trends are ten year based unless stated. 66

RACE DESCRIPTION Our feature race, as a Group One, is of the highest possible quality and is another female-only contest. As befits Ladies Day, this race is only open to 3yo+ fillies and mares and is over one and a half miles. Older runners would carry more weight that the classic generation to reflect their greater maturity, but a quirk in; notice the five -year-old Kalpana has a heavier burden than the three-year-old, Inis Mor. Check the Press tipsters board by the Winner’s Enclosure to see who they think is the best (and to give you someone to blame).

KNAVESMIRE TIP KALPANA beat a field of the highest order when she won the King George at Ascot and the face value of that stellar effort is very hard to see beyond. Minnie Hauk needs to bounce back from her effort in the aforementioned contest, when only beating one rival home, and last year’s heroine is better judged on her second to Ombudsman in the Prince Of Wales’s at the Royal meeting. Johanna Walsh fended off Inis Mor (second), Sparan Nua (third), Earth Shot (sixth) and Sugar Island (last) to win the Irish Oaks last month and she is a rising star that could also have a big say.

A TRIBUTE TO SIR HENRY CECIL
JOHN SEXTON REFLECTS ON ONE OF THE GREATS It seems barely credible that twelve years have passed since the racing world lost one of its true giants with the passing of trainer, Sir Henry Cecil, who is remembered today with the tenth running of the EBF and Sir Henry Cecil Galtres Stakes. Throughout his 44-year career, the Sky Bet Ebor Festival always played a significant role in Sir Henry’s plans each season and Warren Place winners abounded on the Knavesmire each August, including three in the race which now bears his name. It was not until 1986 that Sir Henry broke his duck in the EBF Galtres Stakes with Startino, but a second winner quickly followed when Upend, owned and bred by the former Newmarket chairman Peter Player, beat the favourite Percy’s Lass by a rather cosy half-length. Sir Henry’s third and final winner of the EBF Galtres Stakes was Eva Luna, who had the advantage of a trademark ride from Pat Eddery, another legend racing has lost all too soon, as they out battled Sir Michael Stoute’s Time Allowed, himself under a great ride from John Reid. As with many of his top horses, Eva Luna was owned and bred by the late His Highness the Prince Khalid Abdullah, the filly did not make her racecourse debut until she was four and was having only the second race of her career that day. In a nomenclature quirk, she was one of two fillies to be named Eva Luna foaled in 1992 – the other was trained by Jim Bolger retired after her classic campaign.
Sir Henry & Lady Cecil enjoy a quieter moment
Those three Galtres triumphs, like all his Knavesmire winners, were a source of deep satisfaction on a racecourse he loved, in a county that was very dear to his heart. Few would dispute that Sir Henry Cecil was the greatest British trainer of the 20th Century. Twenty-five British Classics, six more in Ireland, seventy-five Royal Ascot winners, the first man to saddle 3,000 winners on the Flat in Britain and the first British trainer to win the French Derby, all testify to his brilliance. He learned his trade from two masters, growing up first as the step-son of Royal trainer Captain Cecil Boyd-Rochfort and then as son-in-law of Sir Noel Murless, the outstanding British-based trainer of the 1960’s. They were hard acts to follow, but Sir Henry was to add that magical and indefinable quality which took him from very good to brilliant. It could have been the patience and attention to detail that he learnt tending his rose garden or simply that his natural ease and relaxed demeanour transmitted to his horses.
Midday, carrying the Juddmonte colours, becomes Sir Henry’s fifth Legends Global Yorkshire Oaks winner
Whatever the reason, Cecil’s innate ability, coupled with the quality of horse he could attract to Warren Place, his base from 1977, meant his runners dominated the championship races. From Royal Ascot to York; from Newmarket to Goodwood, Cecil ruled supreme. Like Alec Taylor in the early part of the 20th Century, Cecil’s was not a betting yard, but very much a yard to bet on, making him the trainer of choice with punters up and down the land. In the golden summer of 1987, Cecil won one of his ten Trainers’ Championships with 180 winners, an unheard of tally in those days before Sunday fixtures and all-weather racing expanded the programme book. It was achieved between March and November and with barely a handicap winner among them. So many of his horses were pattern race standard that a Cecil runner in a handicap was treated like the Holy Grail by punters. That was why much excitement surrounded the appearance of the Cecil-trained Kneller in the Sky Bet Ebor of 1988. With an Eddery aboard again, this time Paul not Pat, a 9-1 win resulted, a handy return for a horse whose next two races were victories in the Doncaster and the Jockey Club Cups! But then, York was always good to Sir Henry, just as he was always good to York. He loved the Knavesmire for its fairness. He mingled freely with racegoers and always seemed to have time to talk despite amassing some 137 winners at the track. Congratulate him on a winner and almost inevitably he would turn, cock his head to one side in his trademark pose and ask what you thought of the horse and the race. More importantly, he would then listen attentively to the answer. And there were many chances for congratulation at York. His seven winners in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante still stands as a record for the race as does his nine victories in the Tattersalls Musidora.
of the Musidora stars, Diminuendo, Snow Bride and Reams of Verse added an Oaks. Consider five winners of the Legends Global Yorkshire Oaks, spanning the decades from Connaught Bridge in 1979 to Midday in 2010 and it seems the case is proven. But there is more to weigh. Add into the big race mix, four winners of the Juddmonte International spread over nearly forty years from Wollow in 1976 to Frankel in 2012, plus four more colts in the Sky Bet Great Voltigeur, as well as a couple of Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack triumphs and you get a taste of what the Knavesmire meant to Sir Henry, prizes to be aimed for, regardless of the gender of the thoroughbred. Celestial Cloud set the ball rolling at Ripon in May 1969, the first of 3,431 worldwide victories. His last winner here was First Mohican, the opening victor of York’s 2013 season. He started favourite, of course, making it apt that Sir Henry’s first and last winners were in his beloved Yorkshire. His last runner at York was Ace of Valhalla just two weeks before his passing. Those names will probably drift into obscurity with the passing of the years, unlike that of Frankel, whose truly astounding win in the 2012 Juddmonte International is indelibly imprinted in the minds of all who saw it. Knighted for services to the sport in 2011, it was fitting that Sir Henry Cecil’s last big race win at York should be with Frankel. Was he the greatest horse who ever raced? Very possibly. Hugely impressive though Mark Johnston’s record haul truly is, was Sir Henry Cecil the greatest British trainer of all time? Quite probably. Both legendary horse and trainer now have permanent markers in their honour at York with a life size statue and a set of wrought iron gates respectively. It is little wonder then that the spontaneous appeal for “three cheers for Sir ‘enry” was greeted so rapturously around the Winner’s Enclosure that August; he may have loved York, but York also loved him.
It was always said that he was better with fillies than colts, which may be more a relative than an absolute assessment, given his total of eighteen 1000 Guineas and Oaks winners is double that of his nine 2000 Guineas and Derby champions. His York winners seem to support the point, with one of his seven Dante winners, the 1987 hero Reference Point winning the Betfred Derby, while three

5th Race 4.10 The British EBF & Sir Henry Cecil Galtres Stakes (Listed Race) (GBBPlus Race)
Distance: Race Type: Prize Money: Age: Stalls:
1m 4f Listed £100,000 3+f&m Centre
One Mile About Four Furlongs (2,400 metres) See page 94 for conditions of this race.
RACE DESCRIPTION Again, part of the Pattern pyramid, this Listed race is for 3yo+ fillies and mares. All are registered with the European Breeders’ Fund. This means that their sire (father) is based and registered in Europe with the EBF, which is a scheme to encourage the best in bloodstock. Tough to win, tougher still to pick the winner, perhaps pay a visit to the Parade Ring to see them up close before investing your cash.
LAST YEAR’S RACE Winner: CHARLOTTE’S WEB Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford Jockey: Daniel Tudhope Age/Weight: 4-9-9 Runners: 9 SP: 11/4JF Charlotte’s Web was midfield throughout and made headway on the outside with three furlongs to go. She soon found herself in the lead and just about prevailed where it mattered most, winning by a head.

KNAVESMIRE TIP Morrophore gamely landed the Winter Oaks at Lingfield when last seen and the dependable five-year-old, who has won four of her last six starts, and looks a key player. However, respect aside, the fillies’ Classic at Epsom carries more substance and the Oaks fourth A LA PROCHAINE could be the way to go with her sights lowered. We have yet to see the best of this low-mileage daughter of Lope De Vega and the firmer underfoot conditions can assist for an improved display. Rhapsody is a course winner who may progress for stepping up in trip, while Without Prejudice won cosily on her Newmarket debut and offers a bit of intrigue in these deeper waters.

RACE DESCRIPTION A further handicap to solve, this time limited to 2yo’s, going 7 furlongs and although they are the babies of the equine world their previous run(s) mean that they should all know what they are here to do. More significantly, dedicated race watchers and bookmakers will be aware of them so perhaps look for a clue in the betting market.

KNAVESMIRE TIP Andrew Balding has trained three of the six previous winners, but his Rising Tiger found Roosike too good in novice company at Southwell last month. The latter holds decent claims, while Billy Loughnane sticks with recent Ffos Las winner Perfect Nation ahead of stablemate Mirzimaan. However, REVELS already has a nursery win under his belt. The former landed a competitive affair over 6f at Goodwood and Karl Burke’s charge looks worth sticking with having also won over this extra furlong on his debut back in May.

7th Race 5.20 The British EBF Fillies’ Stakes
About Seven Furlongs (1,400 metres) See page 94 for conditions of this race.
RACE DESCRIPTION On Ladies Day a final all-female competitive handicap, again for 3yo and older, this time over seven furlongs. The £100,000 prize money as well as the handicap rating band of 0-105 means that it will attract some pretty smart types (like for Test cricketers a score of over 100 denotes a top performer). The horse considered by the handicapper as the best will carry the most weight is Bellarchi, today. It may a be a little late to discover him, perhaps follow the racecourse tipster, Baron Ferdinand, who has marked his selections with a red bi plane. He could provide you with a last gasp winner so that you can bask in your success until at least 1.52pm tomorrow.
LAST YEAR’S RACE Winner: ROYAL VELVET Trainer: William Knight Jockey: William Buick Age/Weight: 4-9-8 Runners: 18 SP: 12/1 Royal Velvet won well despite still having a lot to do with three furlongs to go. William Buick was patient and timed his run well, to provide him with a double on the day.

KNAVESMIRE TIP STARLIGHT LASS defied a penalty when beating the odds-on favourite in novice company at Yarmouth. The progressive daughter of Dubawi should have plenty more to offer now handicapping and gets the tentative vote in an open affair. Oolong Poobong has a fighting chance off her current mark back as she reverts to 7f, but last year’s winner Royal Velvet bids to repeat the dose off a 14lb higher mark and the less-exposed Tryst could prove a bigger danger bidding for a hat-trick.
