The 54th Macmillan Charity Raceday at York Racecourse raised a brilliant £400,000.
That takes the cumulative total to more than £11 million.
A spokesperson for the racecourse said: “It’s a tribute to the hard work and support of so many people; those who engaged with the auction, the intrepid charity riders and their supporters, box holders, race sponsors and the nearly 15,000 racegoers.
“Every year York Racecourse makes a significant contribution to the good causes from the revenue raised on the day.”
During the day Lester Lloyd won the Macmillan Ride of Their Lives, holding off eight rivals aboard Hartswood.
Trainer Richard Fahey and the owners typified the support shown by the wider racing community for this challenge, which raised more than £110,000.
In the wider action, the richest prize of the afternoon went to connections of Hucklesbrook as north Yorkshire rider Jo Mason stretched out the three-year-old in the £125,000 Churchill Tyres Macmillan Sprint.
Based in Leyburn with Karl Burke, Al Qareem would not have far to travel were his owners to take up the golden ticket for the Sky Bet Ebor, that victory in the Sky Bet Grand Cup secured.
The donation pages for the riders and the wider day remain open and can accessed through the York Racecourse website.
