York racecourse still hoping for crowds in August

The boss of York racecourse is still hoping to have spectators at the Ebor Festival in August.

Speaking in the Racing Post, William Derby, says:

"Like everyone, we're looking and considering and we haven't cancelled the Ebor to our pre-paid crowd or initiated any refund policies.

Our pre-booked customers have still got their tickets and badges and we're waiting to see what the world looks like post July 4."

Racing at York is due to start again in August, with strict controls in place and with the event being held behind closed doors.

York Racecourse has said it won't be refunding pre-booked tickets for the Ebor meeting at this stage and will monitor the ever-changing Covid-19 landscape in the build-up to August's feature.

"The Ebor meeting is still some two months away and we've consciously not wanted to make any decisions now that we regret later on.

Our wish is very much to have people on site; owners definitely, annual badge holders certainly and people who have been coming to the Ebor for many, many years."
