IN racing terms, we are all set for a fantastic finish. Tomorrow should see a new attendance record set at York Racecourse, smashing the previous best of 265,000.

People cannot get enough of the Ascot of the North. Jockeys and other racing professionals love it here. The punters enjoy a thrilling day's sport in a friendly atmosphere. Add in a new stand and a red hot summer, and it is an unbeatable combination.
