To celebrate Doncaster’s last meeting before next month’s prestigious four-day Ladbrokes St. Leger Festival, this Saturday’s meeting on Town Moor (August 16) features the Brit Awards and internationally-acclaimed singer, James Blunt ‘live’ on stage at the conclusion of racing.

 Blunt has recently released his fourth studio album, ‘Moon Landing’ and will be performing with his band on Town Moor. There are special ticket prices for the racing and concert and children under 18 do not receive free admission. The Family Enclosure will not be open to allow room for the stage. Bookings can be made via the racecourse’s website – www.doncaster-racecourse.co.uk 

Racing begins at 2-30 p.m. and all seven races are supported by Betfred, one of the principal sponsors in British racing, supporting many well-known races, such as The Cheltenham Gold Cup and The Betfred Ebor Handicap at York. Saturday’s feature race is The Betfred Bingo Handicap Stakes, a £20,000 contest over seven furlongs. 

The 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.
