This weekend is the last chance to enjoy racing at York in 2025.
The October Finale will take place at York Racecourse on Friday 10 and Saturday 11 October – with prize money in excess of £600,000 on offer.
The ITV cameras will be at the track for both days, covering three races on each visit.
Friday will see the return of the Countryside Market, featuring a range of stalls offering jewellery, prints, personalised photographs, handbags, Christmas cards and novelty items for pets and Harry Potter fans.
Friday’s card begins at 1:30pm and blends competitive handicaps with contests to develop the two-year-olds, as well as honing the talents of apprentice jockeys. Racegoers will hope to clean up in the final handicap of the day, backed by PJ Staffing, the operation that keeps the Knavesmire looking spic ‘n’ span.
Saturday’s quality seven race programme also begins at 1:30pm with all seven races backed by Coral, a brand that first supported this day back in 1979.
The meeting will also see the conclusion of the season long contests to be top jockey and trainer at York. In the Living North-sponsored jockeys’ race, after a memorable Sky Bet Ebor Festival, Oisin Murphy and William Buick currently lead the way, tied on nine winners.
On both days racegoers will be able to enjoy the popular Monotones as well as the Jazz Band and the popular 360-degree selfie camera and flower walls.
