York Racecourse has scooped another prestigious title.

It has been named Racehorse Owners' Association 'Racecourse of the Year' for the second season running.

John Smith, manager and secretary at Knavesmire, collected the award at the Park Lane Hilton in London last night.

The honour comes just a few weeks after York was named 'Racecourse of the Year' by the Racegoers Club.
