CORPORATE HOSPITALITY AT YORK RACECOURSE
 

The Ebor Festival 2008
Tuesday 19th – Friday 22nd August 2008

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.

For the first time ever you’ll be able to wind down to the weekend with a visit to the Ebor Festival on a Friday, August 22nd.  With record prize money of over £2.5 million on offer over the four days and no race worth les than £25,000 this is a Festival packed with top class action.  The racegoers and the racecourse itself dressed in their best, it’s THE week to come to York.  With plans to move to a six race programme each day, there is opportunity to stage three extra races.  One of these is planned to be the Group 3 Strensall Stakes from the September meeting.
 
The highlight of the opening day, Tuesday 19th, will be the richest ever race at York, the Group One Juddmonte International; the Wednesday is famous for being 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 2008 season.
