A GUIDE FOR HORSEMEN 2016 - ROA Gold Standard Racecourse & Horsemen's Group Premier Tier prize money agreement - Record seasonal prize fund of over £7 million - 30 black type races - Group One Juddmonte International ranked number one race in Great Britain - Overall Showcase Champion at the RCA Showcase Awards Welcome to York Racecourse Everyone at York Racecourse very much looks forward to welcoming you to the Knavesmire for the 2016 season. This booklet has been produced to provide owners and horsemen with information prior to your visit to York. Please do not hesitate to contact the team if you have further queries (see page 19 for their contact details). York Racecourse has a proud tradition of staging the very best of thoroughbred racing dating back to 1731. York is an independent racecourse run for the good of racing at York. We have no beneficial shareholders and pay no dividends – everything we make is reinvested into prize money, facilities and the racecourse experience at York. This year sees a fifth consecutive year of growth in prize money to a record level of £7 million. This represents an increase of over £300,000 on last year and growth of 40%+ since 2011. Our seventeen day season now has 30 Group and Listed races. All afternoon fixtures will have a prize fund of at least £100,000 with a feature race of at least £30,000 and every race will have a prize fund of at least £10,000. The Welcome to Yorkshire Ebor Festival runs from Wednesday 17 to Saturday 20 August. All four of our feature races will receive a boost which, when combined with other increases, will see the cumulative value of the twenty-five races post another record exceeding £4 million in prize funds. Ranked as the number one race in Great Britain by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities, the £900,000 Group One Juddmonte International will be the richest race ever staged at York. I am delighted that the Sky Bet City of York Stakes, already a target for progressive horses over our seven furlong trip, has been elevated to Group Three status so becoming the tenth Group contest at the Festival. All races during our four August days will be worth at least £60,000. Overall prize money at the Dante Festival in May will once again exceed seven figures, with a Group Two race on each day benefiting from a £10,000 rise in value. In July the longest running commercially sponsored flat race in the world, the 57th John Smith's Cup will receive a £50,000 boost to £200,000. Recent years have seen significant investments in the racing surface, the stables, stable staff accommodation and the Owners’ Club. During last season we were pleased to open the new Northern End Development of the racecourse to popular and critical acclaim. The relocated pre-parade ring, new saddling boxes, wash-down area and Winning Connections Room have been welcomed by visitors since 2014 and they have now been joined by a new Weighing Room as well as The Parade Ring Restaurant, offering a fine dining experience for smaller parties at the heart of the racing action. These facilities, as well as our complimentary luncheon for Owners with a runner helped us to secure both the ROA Gold Standard and the RCA Showcase Award for Owners Excellence; two accolades that we are keen to live up to during the coming season. We very much look forward to welcoming you to the Knavesmire. Good luck for the 2016 season.

The Duke of York saw winner, Glass Office, appreciate the return to six furlongs with the second placed Mattmu returning to the track to take third place in the Group 1 Coolmore Nunthorpe. Thursday hosts the feature £160,000 Group 2 Betfred Dante which has proved a leading Epsom form guide. Golden Horn claimed an impressive victory before taking the 2015 Investec Derby, Coral Eclipse and Arc de Triomphe, proving himself a deserved 2015 Horse of the Year winner. Jack Hobbs settled for second place before classic glory himself in the Irish Derby. Also on Thursday, the Group 2 Betfred Middleton Stakes for older fillies and mares, offers a purse of £120,000.

We take a huge pride in the fact that much of what we offer is made and cooked on the premises or supplied by local owner / producer suppliers. We cater for vegetarian, nut allergies, soya free, Coeliac food (gluten free) and wheat free. We realise it is important to understand the difference as well as the complexity in producing the various types of allergy sensitive food. We therefore ensure we use separate tongs, toasters and fryers along with the more obvious separate knives and chopping boards. We understand that gluten free food is suitable for a wheat free diet but that wheat free food may not mean it is also gluten free. Vegetarian Food York Racecourse is renowned for its food and the vegetarian dishes created by our expert chefs are no exception - meaning that spending a day at York Racecourse as a vegetarian can be eagerly looked forward to. We are proud to source many of our ingredients locally, meaning that much of our food, especially the cheeses, herbs and salads, have a distinct Yorkshire flavour. Our meals are prepared on site from scratch, giving all our dishes a real home cooked feel.
