THE runners and riders are under starter's orders for the ninth The Press Family Raceday on Knavesmire.
A bumper crowd is expected to descend on York Racecourse for the annual extravaganza of family fun and top-quality racing action.
Some of the best North Yorkshire-trained horses will be rubbing shoulders with the best of the rest of the country, as well as potential stars of the future.
