If you're catching up, here's what you need to know. The Big Race: Ebor Handicap The feature race lived up to its billing. Moorad (9-1) came from well off the pace to win by a neck from Red Waltz, with Mogestic a close third.

The winner was ridden by Tom Marquand and trained by William Haggas. The pace was genuinely frantic. Astrologer and Kodiac's Dream set legitimate fractions that took their toll on the field. By the time they turned into the straight, half the field was already struggling.

Moorad was slowly away but made up ground smartly under Marquand. He produced a devastating turn of foot inside the final furlong. The trouble was that Mogestic had also found his stride and looked gone. But Moorad kept finding more.

It was a proper handicap finish — messy, dramatic, and thoroughly entertaining.
