Hi all,

Hi all,

Inside today’s main piece, you’ll find a short preview of York’s Ebor Festival, which gets underway tomorrow. Plus, there are three future winners from last Saturday’s racing.

Hi all,

We’re rattling towards York’s Ebor Festival, which gets underway on Wednesday.  My York juices are following but I can’t lie—I'm always disappointed when the Ebor Festival ends. Why, may you ask? It’s simple: it’s the last of the big summer flat festivals and signals that autumn is just around the corner.

The weather looks promising, though not particularly warm. Forecasts indicate only 2mm to 3mm of rain from Sunday through Thursday, so conditions should remain stable. Mind you I'm not sure I really trust British weather more than a coupke of days ahead. The course has been watered to maintain good to firm ground. For me its fingers crossed for quick ground, especially for the first couple of days.
