York Dante Meeting

13 years 3 weeks ago

Three day meeting starting on Wednesday.

Wednesdays highlights are the Musidora where The Fugue and Twirl look to be the principals.The Fugue ran 4th to homecoming queen in the Guineas,staying on well at the finish..

The Duke of York is the 1st major sprint of the year in the UK and Mayson looks to have a chance to land his Hatrick.Interesting that Ryan Moore has been booked for Hoof It after Fallon has had a good relationship with the horse..

Thursday is Dante day and Bonfire the 2nd fav for the Derby makes his seasonal debut after being scratched at Chester last week because of the underfoot conditions.Mandean looks to be a big danger and throw in Frankels full brother Noble Mission and we have a proper Derby Trial...(7/1Noble Mission looks decent ew value)

Friday we could possibly See Fame And Glory in the Yorkshire Cup

Great 3 days racing....

Problem is, punters will support the meeting but the general public wont. Its just a South African thing. Will be great as a spectacle tho.

Disagree, IF there is opportunity to market an ''3 day festival'' around horseracing to the general public then The July, Queens Plate or Met are the perfect racing choices imo...

Well then let the powers that be see this as an opportunity.. Maybe Phumelela and Clyde Basel should see this a great marketing vehicle to get the crowds back to the Racecourses. how about this. The Summer Festival, i.e, the Summer cup and other races..
