Dante Festival – York Racecourse – Wednesday 14 May – Friday 16 May
May 14 - May 16
York in May is a fantastic destination for racing, with the season ahead and many star horses emerging on the Knavesmire over three days of high-quality action.
The main highlight is the Betfred Dante Stakes, a 1m2f race held on the second day of the festival. Winners of this race and the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes on Day 1 often become favourites for their respective Classics.
Top horses from Friday’s action frequently reappear in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, as the leading stayers take the spotlight in the Betway Yorkshire Cup.
The scent of freshly mown grass and newly planted flowers around the racecourse adds to the sense of new beginnings, creating a palpable buzz in the air.
