York is engaged with the Raceday Experience Group operated by the Racecourse Association with the intention of improving the experience for all involved in the sport. The good work done under the banner of “Commitment to Owners” is recognised by York and we hope that all the essential elements as well as the majority of the desirable elements of the pledge are incorporated into our raceday practices.

How many badges can I have per runner?
