The month of June in the racing world is heralded by the arrival of the fourth British classic, the Derby, and then it’s all eyes on to September with the fifth and final classic of the year, the Ladbrokes St. Leger.

Doncaster’s Derby Day on Saturday 4th June pays homage to the Epsom Downs classic and is equally notable in the racing and social calendar. A packed race card at Doncaster and big screens around the course allow enthusiasts the excitement of watching the Epsom Derby live too. And, to keep the party mood going, after racing iconic 80’s band, Level 42, will take to the stage to delight racing and music fans alike.

“Derby Day at Doncaster is always a great event in our calendar and the privilege of watching the biggest race in the Investec Epsom Festival allows racing enthusiasts to watch some of the best horses and riders compete in this classic race whilst enjoying a packed seven race card live here at Doncaster Racecourse,” said Abby Chandler Marketing Manager Doncaster Racecourse.

Furthermore, racegoers will have the chance to meet Richard Dunn one of only four British fighters, and the only Yorkshire man, to grace the ring with the legendary Muhammed Ali. Richard will be available for racegoers to meet and chat to about his fantastic battle with the great Ali 40 years ago.

And, as jockeys and horses call time on another Doncaster meeting, the 80’s band Level 42 famous for hits such as Lessons in Love and Running in the Family, will evoke a party atmosphere for race goers to enjoy.

“We are delighted to welcome such a popular band which has stood the test of time and continues its wide appeal across the generations,” said Abby. “This is just one in a series of ‘Music Live’ events which we have scheduled for the 2016 season and will see some of the biggest names in music perform to the Doncaster crowd.”

Gates open at 12 noon with the first race at 13.55pm. The Investec Epsom Derby will be screened live at 4.30pm and with famous names such as Nijinsky, Seabird, Shergar and 2015 hero Golden Horn all claiming the accolade of Derby winner in the past, all eyes will be on the winning post to see who is crowned 2016 winner.
