York Racecourse is one of the most prestigious in Great Britain and the Knavesmire hosts a wide range of horse races throughout the Flat racing calendar. This includes the Lonsdale Cup which is run over two miles and this distance means that you need to back a horse that is going to have the stamina to compete all the way to the end.

In 2022, there was a total purse of £250,000 and this attracts some star performers. We saw the legendary Stradivarius achieve some notable successes in this race. The John Gosden-trained runner claimed a victory as a four-year-old in 2018, with the horse then returning to the track to win twelve months later.

The York betting odds were a lot shorter when Stradivarius lined up in 2021 before delivering a third victory. There have also been a couple of recent five-year-olds who have achieved a win, with Enbihaar obliging in 2020 and it was Quickthorn in 2022 that was able to emerge victorious.

Make sure that you always study the form and work out which long-distance runners are performing the best of all. It’s an encounter which has had Group 2 status since 2004 and this forms part of the York Ebor Festival racecard, with the heat taking place on Day Three of the meeting.
