As well as enjoying an evening of seven competitive races, beginning at 5-25 p.m., race-goers at Doncaster this Saturday night (May 17) can see ‘Status Quo’ play live on stage after racing, as they return to Doncaster by popular demand. To mark the occasion, the band’s very own Piledriver ale – named after their classic 1972 album – will be on sale in the Exhibition Hall. 

This is the start of the trio of racing concerts this summer on Town moor, with the ‘Kaiser Chiefs’ performing after racing on Saturday, June 28, while James Blunt takes to the stage at the conclusion of racing on Saturday, August 16.

 The racing action on Saturday evening is the third annual ‘Visit Bawtry’ Race Evening – when enterprises based in the local town each support a race in conjunction with The Bawtry Retail Association. They include The Crown Hotel, Glendinning’s Ladies Wear, Robinsons Designer Clothing Boutique, China Rose Cantonese Restaurant, Fine & Country Estate Agency, Caviars Restaurant & Wine Bar, specialist ladies designer fashion boutique, Incognito and Walsh & West Commercial Risks Ltd. 

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