The Dante Festival is the first races of the season at York Racecourse, featuring the Yorkshire Cup.

York in May is a fantastic place to come racing, the season lies ahead and many star horses have risen to prominence on the Knavesmire over these three fantastic days. The Tattersalls Musidora and the Al Basti Dante victors will be amongst favourites for the Classics; whilst the Matchbook Yorkshire Cup, won twice by the mighty Stradivarius, has proven form ahead of the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.
