These are the top three quickest-run Ebor Festival Fillies Heritage Handicap races over the last 14 renewals:

  1. Excellent Times (1:21.95) in 2019
  2. Nigiri (1:22.19) in 2023
  3. Bragging (1:22.20) in 2014

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? Over the past 14 renewals, if you had followed the winner of the Ebor Festival Fillies Heritage Handicap next time out, then you would have backed a total of 4 winners. Backing all 13 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of +10.25. Whilst we wait for the 2025 Ebor Festival Fillies Heritage Handicap, remember you can get daily racing predictions from the expert tipsters on the racing predictions page.

Over the last 14 renewals, it was Excellent Times, trained by Tim Easterby and ridden by Phil Dennis, who set the fastest winning time in the Ebor Festival Fillies Heritage Handicap. That runner won the race in a time of 1:21.95 in 2019. At the other end of the scale, it was the combination of trainer David O'Meara and jockey Daniel Tudhope with Lincoln Rocks who set the slowest winning time; the race-winning time was 1:26.51 in the 2017 renewal.

What the expert says...
A lot of the winners go on to run in the Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster, as did the winners in 2014, 2014, 2021, 2022 & 2023, although none of those went on to success in that race.
