Select from galaxy of talent for a chance to win your own race

We have a galaxy of talent to take this year’s title from the Richard Fahey-trained Wootton Bassett, which won valuable races at York and Doncaster and the Group 1 Prix de Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp on Arc day.

The award is open to any Yorkshire-trained horse to have impressed during the year or to any horse from outside the region to have made an impact on one of Yorkshire’s nine racecourses.

The Yorkshire Racehorse of the Year will be selected by a panel of Yorkshire racing journalists and the names of readers whose choice in our free-to-enter competition matches theirs will be placed into a hat with the winner drawn at random.

When you have made your choice fill in the entry coupon for your chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime prize courtesy of Go Racing in Yorkshire, the marketing body representing the region’s racecourses, and Sky Bet, the Yorkshire-based bookmakers.

The first part of the prize for the lucky winner will be an invitation for two to the prestigious Go Racing in Yorkshire annual awards lunch, sponsored by Sky Bet, at Doncaster racecourse on Wednesday, December 14.

The winner will also have a race run in their name on a Yorkshire course during 2012 with lunch for two before racing and the opportunity to present the trophies to winning connections afterwards as well as having a free £50 bet courtesy of Sky Bet.
