2025 Ebor Handicap Trends

Run over 1m6f the Skybet-sponsored Ebor Handicap is open to horses aged 3 or older and is run at York racecourse in August at their 4-day Ebor Festival Meeting. We’ve only seen three winning favourites land the prize since 1999, so be wary of the market leaders, while with 21 of the last 22 winners were aged 6 or younger then you might want to avoid any older horses in the race.

We look back at past winners and give you the key trends ahead of Europe’s most valuable flat handicap race - this year run on Saturday 23rd August, 2025
