A meeting which is one of the newest to the York calendar, it has been split into two days for the first time. On Saturday, the fillies' Group 3 Bronte Stakes was held over a mile and six furlongs and was first run in 2018 with the intention of getting a pattern level win into mares to enhance their reputation in the breeding world. This year's renewal was won by the Roger Varian-trained Believe In Love, who had previously shown form in Group 1 races last season and she overcame a tense stewards' enquiry to land the spoils. Elsewhere on Saturday, there were wins for the popular veteran Escobar, a regular in high-end handicaps and pattern races, who landed his first race since October 2019. A brilliant hold-up ride by Barry McHugh saw Illusionist land the valuable sprint handicap on his seasonal debut in a great finish and a shoutout to rising star Harry Davies, the young apprentice who landed a double of wins on Truely Aclaimed and Maywake to go with two other placings. A potential star was born in the maiden stakes as Bradsell won on debut by a sensational nine lengths to instantly join the contenders at Royal Ascot.

Sunday's raceday was a first as York played host to the SkyBet sponsored initiative, Sunday Series. These kind of race meetings were first run in 2021 and proved to be a great success. The sole intention of raising the quality of race meetings on a Sunday by injecting more prize money into the races and provide more opportunities for smaller yards to potentially have a valuable race win. The series also supports stable staff by giving prizes to grooms and lasses. The feature race was the class two Sunday Series Sprint Handicap won by the James Horton-trained Asjad, who regained his upward curve of progression, putting a bad run at Newmarket behind him to make it four wins from seven starts. On the undercard, there were wins for previous Sunday Series winner Eilean Dubh, Showtime Mahomes and exciting finishes involving Evaluation and Topanticipation as well as a very impressive win in the novice for Amo Racing's Walbank, who scorched home at short odds to win by seven lengths.

Away from the racing, crowds were treated to tribute bands for Abba on the Saturday and Queen on the Sunday, which brought crowd numbers up for these popular music events.
