The 35-year-old was interviewing punters for Racing TV’s social media channel Raceday at Beverley on Saturday when the shocking incident happened.
Race course boss Sally Iggulden said the track has a zero-tolerance approach to “inappropriate disrespect” and is trying to find the racegoer so they can issue him with a lifetime ban.
But for now his identity remains unknown.
Amy told The Sun: “I experienced sexism the whole day, with men singing about, the size of my breasts and being called a stripper.

“Someone slapping my a*** was the final straw.
“I’m there doing a job. I’m not going to stand for it. How dare he think he can do that.
“It was a much rowdier crowd than I’m used to seeing at the racing. I didn’t feel safe. There were a lot of grabby people recognising me. They were getting too over familiar.”

Since the story broke, Amy says she’s suffered trolling online from those blaming her for what happened.
“I’m appalled that people are victim-blaming and commenting about what I’m wearing,” she told us.
“There are more females than ever going to the race course and that’s amazing. Yes, we love fashion but we want to feel safe there without men groping us and touching us inappropriately.
“We need to find this guy and hold him accountable for his actions.
“This isn’t about me. I’m a tough girl, I can handle things like that. This is about making an example of this guy so that other men at the races know this is not acceptable behaviour.
“You can’t go around degrading women like that.
“I want to make sure race courses are safe for women to go to to dress up, have fun with their friends and enjoy the racing.”
