York Course Guide
York (Jumps)
When Ascot closed for renovation York was immediately made a short-priced favourite to play temporarily home to the Royal meeting. A loop has been added to the previous horseshoe shape in order to accommodate the Ascot Gold Cup and in the long-run this is bound to be of immense benefit to racegoers at this superb racecourse. Some great races have been run on the Knavesmire since Dick Turpin was hanged here in 1739. One of the major fixtures of the year is the Ebor meeting in August — each of the three days has a Group One contest. In the spring the May Meeting provides numerous Classic clues with the Dante and Musidora Stakes. A wonderful place to go racing, the Royal Meeting will be LIVE on At The Races in 2005.
This Season's Fixtures
Directions
BY ROAD
York Racecourse is just outside the city of York with good motorway links on the M1 and A1. Once near the city, from the south, east and west the A64 and A1036 are the roads to follow. From the north, use the A19 and A59, then the York Ring Road to avoid the city centre.
BY RAIL
Fast and frequent rail services take as little as 1 hour 52 minutes from London Kings Cross and some 2.5 hours from Edinburgh. Manchester and Birmingham are also direct. (The course is 1 mile from the station and City Centre and a First Bus raceday shuttle runs every 20 minutes).
