• The Juddmonte International Stakes to be run at Newmarket on Saturday
• Newbury, Goodwood and Newmarket to stage other races
• All transferred races to be broadcast live on Channel 4
• All Jockey Declarations for Friday races to be pushed back by 24 Hours

Following the abandonment of the York Ebor Meeting, the British Horseracing Authority has approved the transfer of all of the Group 1 and two of the Group 2 races along with the Ebor Handicap and the DBS £300000 St Leger Yearling Stakes.

The following races will be transferred to Newbury on Friday, August 22nd:

Race No 46567 THE IRISH THOROUGHBRED MARKETING GIMCRACK STAKES (CLASS 1) (Group 2)
Race No 46568 THE totesport NEWBURGH STAKES (CLASS 2 HERITAGE
HANDICAP) (Formerly the totesport Ebor Stakes)

The following races will be transferred to Newmarket on Friday, August 22nd:

Race No 49492 THE COOLMORE NUNTHORPE STAKES (CLASS 1) (Group 1)
Race No 49491 THE DARLEY YORKSHIRE OAKS (CLASS 1) (Group 1)
Race No 46471 THE DBS £300000 ST LEGER YEARLING STAKES (CLASS 2)

The following races will be transferred to Newmarket on Saturday, August 23rd:

Race No 46598 THE JUDDMONTE INTERNATIONAL STAKES (CLASS 1)
(Group 1)

The following race will be transferred to Goodwood on Saturday, August 23rd:

Race No 46648 THE LADBROKES GREAT VOLTIGEUR STAKES (CLASS 1) (Group 2)

Note: Race numbers have been revised, with the exception of the DBS £300000 St Leger Yearling Stakes (Class 2).

All race values have been revised and all horses confirmed at the 6-day stage, including supplementary entries, will be required to be declared at the 24-hour stage. As such, all stakes paid heretofore will be re-funded and a single stake will be payable upon declaration. The only exception to this will be The DBS £300000 St Leger Yearling Stakes (Class 2), whose final declarations will stand. None of the other races originally scheduled at the York Ebor Meeting will be transferred.

With the addition of the races to the cards at Newmarket on Friday and Saturday, none of the maiden races will be permitted to divide.

The Newburgh Stakes, the new name for the transferred Ebor Stakes, will now be run over a distance of one mile, five furlongs about 61 yards at Newbury. Therefore, the three-years-old will receive 1lb less from older horses, resulting in revised weights being issued. All other races will be run over corresponding distances.

For all Flat races being run on Friday, August 22nd, the deadline for declaration of jockeys will be deferred until 1.00pm on Thursday, August 21st to allow for revised plans. The deadline for declaration of jockeys for all Flat races run on Saturday, August 23rd will remain at 1.00pm on Thursday, August 21st, except for the Juddmonte International and Ladbrokes Great Voltigeur, for which a deadline of 1.00pm on Friday, August 22nd will apply.

Due to the increased demands on stabling at Newmarket, emergency stabling has been arranged with Tattersalls. Trainers will be contacted directly by Newmarket with revised arrangements where required. No overnight stabling will be permitted at Newmarket on Friday evening, unless by prior arrangement with the racecourse.

The revisions to race conditions and running order will be as follows:
