York is a left-handed, U-shaped course, two miles in extent, and quite flat throughout. There is No. 103 2003 Price £5.50 also a perfectly flat straight course over which all five-furlong and six-furlong races are run. Seven-furlong races start on a spur which joins the round course after about two furlongs. The Stewards D. R. Brotherton, Esq., The Viscount Allendale, W. A. Bethell, Esq., Mrs D. G. Price, C. run-in from the turn is nearly five furlongs. This is one of the best courses in the country, of G. Rowles Nicholson, Esq., J. F. W. Jenyns, Esq., The Countess of Halifax, N. H. T. Wrigley, Esq. great width throughout and with a sweeping turn into the long straight. The entire absence of surface undulations make it ideal for a long-striding, resolute galloper, but it really is a splendid track, bestowing no great favours on any type of horse. DECLARED RUNNERS YORK DRAW: The draw has seemed of little significance on the straight course recently, a prominent Wednesday 14th May place early on often more significant. In good-size fields low numbers tend to fare better than high in races from a mile to a mile and a half, though a prominent position on the turn often seems of more importance than the draw itself. STALLS: Stand side – straight course.
