Doncaster is in action this Saturday afternoon (June 7), with racing starting at 2-00 p.m. There’s an hour’s gap during the seven-race programme, as racegoers can enjoy the build-up to the Investec Derby from Epsom and the race itself on the giant screen and CCTV system. 

Leading bookmaker, Ladbrokes – sponsor of the St. Leger Stakes in September – support all seven races, including a pair of £20,000 contests (a Handicap contest for three-year-olds over the straight mile and a seven-furlongs Handicap).  

The Investec Derby at Epsom is due off at 4-00 p.m. and they’ll be previews of the afternoon’s racing at Doncaster and prior to the Derby in the Winners’ Enclosure. 

After racing, there’s live music in the main hall by UB40 tribute band, ‘The UB40 Experience’, while DJ Donny Delmar will be playing summer tunes on the Champagne Lawn Terrace. 

In addition, darts legend, Bobby George will be in attendance, inviting racegoers to a ‘9 Darts Challenge’ in the main stand. 

Saturday’s meeting is also promoting the work of the Royal British Legion and there will be a parade of the Legion’s Standard-Bearers prior to racing.  

A giant screen situated opposite the main stands will enable racegoers to see all of the action. A shuttle bus service will be in operation from the railway station.
