The Ebor Festival represents one of the major meetings of the British flat season.
Held over four days on the Knavesmire, the Ebor Festival plays host to four Group 1 races across the week as well as the Ebor Handicap, the richest handicap race on Europe's flat racing calendar.
Magical Zoe won the 2024 Ebor Handicap after back-to-back successes for Frankie Dettori aboard Trawlerman and Absurde in 2022 and 2023 respectively taking his tally to three in the race, but he remains two behind the Ebor Handicap's leading jockey.
