FOUR thousand delighted racegoers were able to enjoy a visit to York Racecourse today for the first time in more than one and a half years. They could finally have a drink, a laugh and a chat, and cheer on their chosen horse as it crossed the finishing line first, or commiserate each other as it came in last. Not even intermittent showers could dampen their spirits in what was a milestone day for York in coming out of the lockdown. The last meeting attended by racegoers was on October 12, 2019, with races taking place last year and earlier this year behind closed doors.
