The whole of the Ebor festival has been abandoned, thanks to the flooding on the Knavesmire. The Yorkshire Oaks and the Nunthorpe will be run at Newmarket on Friday, and the International on Saturday, though it's uncertain whether Duke of Marmalade and New Approach will take part in the rescheduled race.
The Ebor changes its name to the Newburgh and will be run at Newbury on Friday, while the Great Voltigeur will go to Goodwood on Saturday.
