A Look Ahead to Next Week's Ebor Festival in York

The next big event coming up for the racing calendar is The Ebor Festival at York starting on the 21st August and running through until the 24th August. Usually a huge event the whole sport looks forward to with an average attendance of 82,000, unfortunately this year it will be less extravagant due to Covid-19 and the lockdown restrictions on sport. Nevertheless, still some exciting races to watch and today we give a little insight into what to expect.

In the meantime, whilst we wait for the event to start, why not try yourself on some of the casinos offered by Best Casinos. Widely regarded as one of the best providers for off-shore casinos targeted for just UK players, they offer slots and bingo, poker and tables games an their reviews are available at Super Wins Casino where as you’ll see the reviews speak for themselves.

There are a number of major races spread across the four days of racing, mainly featuring in the middle of the racing day and are all followed by a series of Group 2, Group 3, and Handicap betting.

The Yorkshire Oaks is the feature race on day two of the Ebor Festival – a race that open to Group 1 horses that are fillies and mares who are aged three or older and run over 1 mile, 3 furlongs and 188 yards. Having looked into previous winner trends, Enable has won the race in 2017 and 2019 but we like the look of Love at 1/3 for this race.

The next major race taking place on the Friday of race week is the Nunthorpe – the race that is one of very few which is open to runners aged two or older and run over 5 furlongs. The big favourite going into the race is Battash and jockey Charlie Hill, with wins from thre King George Stakes back in 2017 and Prix de l’Abbaye. However, we believe it will be a two-horse race with Ten Sovereigns going head-to-head for the title. Contrasting horses, one a seasoned pro over 5 furlongs, the other yet to experience racing at the minimum trip. Picking between isn’t easy but we’ve back Ten Sovereigns at 6/4 at the Nunthorpe Stakes.
