Lonsdale Cup Betting

The Lonsdale Cup is part of the world famous four day Ebor Festival meeting at York and it takes place on the final day, along with the prestigious Ebor Handicap.

The race itself involves a distance of 2 miles and 88 yards, and it is open to thoroughbreds aged three and over. It is an exciting betting opportunity itself as it involves some high quality horses thanks to its Group Two status and punters might like to keep an eye on the form of the entries.

Other Ebor Festival races include:

Great Voltigeur Stakes | Nunthorpe Stakes | Yorkshire Oaks | Lowther Stakes

Many of the runners will go on to compete in the following month's Doncaster Cup and there could be odds on offer for a horse to do the 'double' by winning the Lonsdale and the Doncaster.

Trainer John Dunlop has enjoyed plenty of success over the years, winning the race four times, and entries from his stables could be worth looking out for when looking at the odds.
