Under Jockeys' Orders is back by popular demand at four-day Ebor Festival next week

Meet and Greet UK's Top Jockeys at York Again

YORK – Under Jockeys' Orders, a new initiative to give racegoers and TV viewers a closer look at Britain's leading flat jockeys is back for York's Sky Bet Ebor Festival from Aug 20 to 23 next week and will, for the first time, be happening every day of the meeting.

The initiative involves a raft of jockey-centric activities which give unprecedented access to the sport's stars in the saddle with the aim of engaging, entertaining and educating racing fans.

"It was great to be part of it last year as racegoers and viewers seemed to really enjoy it, so I'll certainly be supporting it again in 2025," said Ryan Moore, one of the world's leading jockeys.

"Racing, like other sports, needs to get closer to its fans."

The four-time Longines World's Best Jockey is bound to be hounded alongside fellow top UK jockeys William Buick, Hollie Doyle and Tom Marquand at autograph-signing sessions across those four days.

Marquand, who has done countless media interviews, will also face a slightly different set of questions but no less challenging at a pre-recorded Q&A session with children. The 27-year-old, who is Doyle's husband, is not a father yet, but will certainly get some early practice.
