I'm at the Ebor meeting at York – four fantastic days of racing.

People may not realise but it’s the second richest fixture in the UK.

Only Royal Ascot has more prizemoney and, of course, they race over five days compared with York’s four.

The job William Derby and his team at York have done to make York Racecourse one of the best in the world is nothing short of phenomenal.

As a Yorkshire racing fan you have to be very proud that one of the greatest racing venues is on our doorstep and just gets better and better.
