Friday 19th August (Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes)

The field in the Coolmore Nunthorpe demonstrate the global nature of top class flat racing competition. To further encourage this competition Breeders’ Cup Ltd have offered an attractive incentive to the winner  as part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series.

The successful sprinter this afternoon if nominated with Breeders' Cup will receive both free entry and a guaranteed start gate in the  five furlong  $1m  Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint to be run at Churchill Downs on Saturday November 5th. Combined with a travel allowance  of  $20,000 this is a bonus to Kentucky bound connections  and this represents an exciting innovation this year. As an indication of how highly the York contest is regarded worldwide, it is the only UK sprint to have been provided with this bonus.  

If you are not planning to be in Louisville in November then why not join us here at York Racecourse for our Breeders' Cup night with live coverage from Kentucky, a three course meal, full betting service and host/ tipster John Sexton.
