The Ebor Festival at York Racecourse features several high-profile Group 1 and handicap races. Early highlights include the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes and the Group 2 Lonsdale Cup. In the Yorkshire Oaks, the filly Sparan Nua finished narrowly behind the winner Kalpana, leading her connections to consider future Group 1 opportunities.

As the festival concludes, the Ebor Handicap remains a focal point, with trainer Willie Mullins entering Love Me Tender and Mr Hollywood. The event also includes Group 1 action in the Sky Bet City Of York Stakes, featuring horses such as Notable Speech, Satono Reve, and Ten Bob Tony.
