York gets the biggest set of starting stalls in Britain

York Racecourse is now the proud owner of the biggest set of starting stalls in Great Britain and the first of its kind in the world.

Capable of housing 22 racehorses at a time, the new unit has recently made the 10,103 mile journey from the Adelaide, South Australia, factory of Steriline Racing, the world’s leading manufacturer.

Set to be based permanently at the Knavesmire, York has recently held the first of several planned test and bedding in sessions; so that horses, riders, starters, and Racetech stalls handlers as well as representatives from the BHA, NTF and PJA could all become familiar with the latest addition.

The six figure investment means that, once properly accredited, York Racecourse will be able to stage races with two extra horses, up to the new maximum of 22.
