What is the fastest winning time at York?

Over 6f, the most-run trip, the fastest winning time since 2015 is 1:08.79 by Encrypted (GB) on 16 June 2018. The distance table gives the fastest time for every race type and trip with 5 or more races.

What is a typical winning time at York?

The median winning time over 6f at York is 1:11.70 from 295 races. Half the winners were quicker and half slower, so the median is a steadier guide than the fastest time.

How much does the going change winning times at York?

On the most-run turf Flat trip at York, the median soft-ground winner took 3.1 seconds longer than on good ground. The going table shows the median for each going band with 5 or more races.

Which winners have been fastest at York this season?

The season table lists the quickest winner so far this season at each York trip, with the gap to the fastest time since 2015 and to the median. A negative figure against the median means quicker than a typical winner.

How are the York winning times measured?

Each time is the official winning time from the result, grouped by race type and exact advertised distance since 2015. Times more than 10 per cent faster than the median for the same trip are treated as recording errors and left out.

Questions people ask

Is this the York course record?

The fastest times here cover races since 1 January 2015, so they are the quickest winners of the last decade rather than the all-time course records. Over 6f the quickest since 2015 is 1:08.79, from 295 races.

Why are some York distances listed more than once?

Rows use the exact advertised distance, so a trip that changes, for example after a rail movement or a remeasurement, gets a separate row with its own times. Comparing a time with the right row avoids flattering or harsh comparisons.

What does median winning time mean?

The median is the middle winning time when every York race over a trip is lined up from fastest to slowest. A winner quicker than the median ran faster than a typical winner over that course and distance.

How often are the York winning times updated?

The tables refresh every morning after the previous day's results, so a new fastest time appears the day after it is set. The next meeting table fills in as soon as the next York card is declared.
