High quality action whilst catching up with friends.
Set your social summer off in style with a day at the races, the scent of newly mown grass and freshly planted flowers add to the sense of new beginnings with a definite buzz in the air. York in May is a fantastic place to come racing, the season lies ahead and many star horses have risen to prominence on the Knavesmire over these three fantastic days. The Tattersalls Musidora and the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante victors will be amongst favourites for the Classics; whilst the Boodles Yorkshire Cup, won three times by the mighty Stradivarius, has proven form ahead of the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.
