WEDNESDAY MEETING BEGINS DONCASTER’S 2014 CAMPAIGN
 
 
Doncaster’s opening meeting of 2014 takes place on Wednesday (January 8) – the first of 36 racedays this year on Town Moor.
 
Wednesday’s seven-race programme is set to begin at 12-40 p.m. with The Pegler Yorkshire Handicap, followed by The 1stsecuritysolutions.co.uk Maiden Hurdle.
 
The remaining five races are supported by Freebets, including the most valuable race of the afternoon, a Novices’ Chase over two miles and three furlongs, offering prize money of £10,000. This race last year was won by Overturn, who went on to compete in Grade 1 races at both the Cheltenham Festival and the Grand National meeting at Aintree.
 
 The giant screen situated opposite the main stands will enable racegoers to see all of the action. A shuttle bus will be in operation from the railway station.
