THIS SUN OF YORK

York Racecourse was at its mesmeric best this week – top-class racing to match the sun-blessed weather and impressive new stable facilities which are just the first phase of ambitious plans to enhance the Knavesmire’s unbeatable reputation still further. Yet what also stands out is the track’s continuing commitment to support Yorkshire’s food producers. It’s a winning formula that other sporting venues across the county would be advised to follow. There are few racing certainties in life, but this is one of them.
