Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular sport that involves horses competing against each other in a race. It has a rich history dating back to ancient times and has evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry. Yorkshire is known for its strong connection to horse racing, with several famous racecourses such as York Racecourse and Doncaster Racecourse located in the region. The prestigious Ebor Festival, held annually at York Racecourse, is one of the most important events in the horse racing calendar and attracts thousands of visitors from around the world.
