A question as old as the sport itself so there’s no easy answer! Knowledge is power so consult the information in your racecard, book a tipster for your party, or listen to the ‘punters panel’ held around 1.15pm every day to pick up some clues. Favourite colours, children’s names and a popular jockey have also produced their share of success. If you are in the County Stand then your complimentary racecard with your badge may well provide you with some pointers. |

The gates are open from 11.15am on racedays and 11am for the Ebor Festival so you can start arriving from then on.
