York races family fun day had something for people of all ages. With various activities from paw patrol to face paint and games and so much more. The pony races saw the stars of the future take to the stage. The races provided a competitive hard to call card. Platform Nineteen continues its winning streak having its four timer.
The first race had four horses in a row with a slight lead to Clan Royale, tracked by Alben Spirit, No Mercy, Ishvara and Lady Nectar. Unifier dwelt towards the rear and Leapers Wood had a tricky start before chasing the leaders. Halfway along the race headway was made by Unifier but Willing To Please began to chase the leaders. With two furlongs to go Alben Spirit moved up the field with Sam's Call, Ishvara and Leapers Wood being ridden out. One furlong out Clan Royale was leading comfortably with Unifier beginning to challenge. Alben Spirit was close too. Unfortunately No Mercy's jockey Ben Curtis lost his whip effecting his running going into the final furlong. The rest of the field in the closing stages merely kept on whilst despite drifting Clan Royale held on well. Unifier just couldn't catch the leader. First was Clan Royale by a neck to second Unifier by 2 lengths. Third was Alben Spirit. The second was well worth an each way bet coming in at 66/1!
In the 2:55 Dakota Gold made the running, tracked by Danzeno, Yolo Again, Marnie James and Perfection. Rock On Baileys was towards the rear and Princes Des Sables raced wide on the stands rail. Marnie James and Rock On Baileys moved towards the front at two furlongs out as Perfection made an effort. But some of the field weakened. At one furlong out Dakota Gold was driven along but it was clear from here he would not be caught. Danzeno did try to challenge as did Marnie James. But eventually Perfection, Marnie James and Danzeo kept on at the same pace. The winner was Dakota Gold by 1 3/4 lengths to Danzeno by 1 3/4 lengths and third Marnie James by 3/4 lengths.
