Channel 4 Racing Live from York; Frankel runs in the Juddmonte International

The 2012 York Ebor Festival will begin today with live coverage on Channel 4 racing.

It’s the start of four fabulous days on the Knavesmire, beginning with none other than Frankel in the Juddmonte International.

It’s the great horse’s first foray with 10 furlongs, and a tussle with Cirrus Des Aigles and St Nicholas Abbey is on the cards.

St Leger protagonists line up in the Great Voltigeur, with Derby runner-up Main Sequence readying himself for a rematch with Camelot.
