Welcome toThe Ebor Festival 2009Tuesday 18th – Friday 21st August 2009
2008 PRICES HELD FOR 2009
World class racing meets high society for the Ebor Festival, the jewel in the crown of York Racecourse. The course, known as the Knavesmire, has been a favourite amongst racegoers since it was founded in 1731.
The 2008 Ebor Festival at York was entirely abandoned due to heavy rain and a waterlogged track. Ironically, York Racecourse had already scheduled a £2.5million redevelopment to begin after Ebor and reopen for the Dante Meeting in May, racegoers are happy to hear that considerable irrigation and drainage management will be carried out as part of this work.
After the major races in 2008 being shared out amongst Newmarket, Newbury and Goodwood – we can rest assured that they’ll be back at their York home for 2009.
The four day format will be retained, with the opening day of Tuesday 18th seeing the Group One Juddmonte International, followed by Wednesday’s Ebor Day and will continue to feature the totesport Ebor; Thursday is Ladies Day so the Group One Darley Yorkshire Oaks is top of the bill as the fillies take centre stage; the Coolmore Nunthorpe, the UK’s only Group One five furlong sprint will therefore be a thrilling climax on the Friday to both the Ebor Festival and the 2009 season.
