Doncaster Racecourse is gearing up for the penultimate meeting of the British Flat Racing season and an important date in the Best Dressed Lady calendar – the crowning of the overall 2016 Best Dressed winner.

The popular Racing Post Trophy meeting gets underway on Friday 21 October, with the final Group 1 event of the British Flat Racing season taking place Saturday 22nd October and showcasing the future champions of British flat racing.

“Our Racing Post Trophy weekend is always a big hit with racegoers and attracts some of the UK’s top up-and-coming jockeys and racehorse,” said Abby Chandler Marketing Manager Doncaster Racecourse. “Some of the future champions of British Horse Racing battle it out for the coveted Group 1 Racing Post Trophy and, in the past, we have seen winners, such as Kingston Hill, go on to claim significant titles like the St. Leger Stakes the following year. It is fair to say that everyone will be focused on popular jockey Andrea Atzeni who has won The Racing Post Trophy for the last three years bringing Kingston Hill, Elm Park and Marcel home – will he be able to make it a fourth?”

Racing Post Trophy Day will also see the crowning of the ‘Go Racing in Yorkshire Best Dressed Lady’. The competition will bring together nine winner’s from the county’s ‘Best Dressed Lady’ competition held between May and September, including Doncaster’s very own Best Dressed Lady, Maria Gledhill from Rossington. The ladies will battle it out in the style stakes for the chance to claim the covered title and a prize package which includes the chance to become the face of Go Racing in Yorkshire’s 2017 marketing campaign.

Following the last race on Saturday, visitors are invited into the Exhibition Hall to party with the PYT’s – a male and female fronted six-piece band with a repertoire including rock, pop, fun, soul, RnB and disco.
