About this episode

The episode reviews the York Ebor Festival and discusses the significance of National Racehorse Week with insights from George Baker.

The 2026 Ebor Festival has been and gone after a terrific week of action and drama, and it wasn't without an upset. National Racehorse Week is also now under way, a vital week for the sport. This week on The Front Page, we're off site for a special visit to George Baker's yard to showcase what people can see during National Racehorse Week, and we hear from George about the importance of the week and what visitors can expect. We also look back on the Ebor meeting, when the headlines were stolen by Juddmonte, Colin Keane and Andrew Balding as Item and Kalpana landed Group 1 victories. We discuss the successful American raid from Bacio, as well as a thrilling Ebor that went to Daiquiri Bay.
