ITV Racing Live: York Ebor Festival

TX: From 1.30pm on Wednesday 19 August 19, 2020 on ITV

This is an ITV Sport production for ITV

ITV Racing will broadcast five races every day of the Welcome to Yorkshire Ebor Festival at York from 1.30-4pm on Wednesday 19 – Friday 21 August and 1.25-4.30pm on Saturday 22 August on ITV.

The Opening Show preview programme is on at 9.30-10.30am on Saturday 22 August on ITV4.

The Welcome to Yorkshire Ebor Festival may be behind closed doors, but ITV Racing will offer viewers at home a ringside seat for four days of spectacular racing action.

Ed Chamberlin and Francesca Cumani host exclusive free-to-air coverage live from York. Joining Ed and Francesca for expert analysis will be Jason Weaver, reporting will be Mick Fitzgerald and Luke Harvey with Matt Chapman bringing all the betting news, Oli Bell in the Social Stable and Richard Hoiles in the commentary box.

The Opening Show, hosted by Oli Bell alongside Matt Chapman, Jason Weaver, and Adele Mulrennan will look back at a wonderful week of racing and preview the best of Saturday's action.

There will be a free-to-enter ITV7 competition. 

ITV’s live festival coverage will also be simulcast on the ITV Hub, on web and app, for viewers to watch online, and the ITV Racing site - itv.com/racing will help bring the festival to life.

The weekly highlights will be the Juddmonte International Stakes on Wednesday where the front-running Ghaiyyath will be going for his third win of the season having beaten both Stradivarius and Enable so far; the Darley Yorkshire Oaks on Thursday where the Guineas and Oaks winner Love stakes her claims as a contender for the Arc, and the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes on Friday, perhaps the race of the week where the likes of American raider, Golden Pal, and fast improving sprinter, Art Power take on the might of the fastest horse on the planet, Battaash!

Saturday’s Sky Bet Ebor, first run in 1843, is the oldest and most famous race in York’s history and the highlight of the calendar at the Knavesmire racecourse.
