| | York Welcomes Ladbrokes St Leger 2006 Decision |
 | | York Racecourse’s Chief Executive has said he is “excited and proud” about Doncaster’s decision to transfer the Ladbrokes St Leger Festival to York. |
 | | Mr Derby said everyone at York was already a great fan of the Ladbrokes St Leger Festival, and pointed out the Knavesmire had played host to the autumn Classic in 1945, whilst Town Moor was being used in the war effort. |
 | | Nicholas Wrigley, Chairman of York Race Committee, said he wanted to thank his team and recognise the role of outside organisations, such as City of York Council, North Yorkshire Police, the regional development agency, Yorkshire Forward, and course caterers, CGC Events, all of whom would be important partners in staging the festival. |
