Get ready to give Emit some Love in the Ebor
EUROPE’s richest handicap, the Ebor (3.35pm), headlines Saturday’s card from York. We’re already in a good position in this fiercely competitive contest, having taken an ante-post position on EMIT at 25/1 a few weeks ago.

The Ebor, Europe's richest handicap, takes center stage on Saturday at York. The race, scheduled for 3.35pm, features a strong field and is seen as a key fixture of the Ebor Festival. Among the contenders, EMIT stands out as a favorite, having been picked by bettors as early as ante-post for a 25/1 price. This four-year-old, ridden by Ryan Moore, is currently priced at 7/1, representing a notable early value bet.
LOVE ME TENDER, ridden by Willie Mullins, is another potential contender, having recently returned from Germany where he won his first two starts and finished fourth in the Listed Grand Prix du Nord. Mullins has a proven track record in this race, having won it twice in the last three years. The race could prove to be even more favorable for the younger horse, with a potentially lenient marking.
In the day's opening contest, GERYON, priced at 11/2, is worth a bet. This horse made a strong impression in his last start at Goodwood's Group Three Gordon Stakes, though he fell short in the final stages. Back in trip to the same distance where he won a Group Three at Leopardstown, GERYON is expected to perform well.
