DONCASTER IN UNISON FOR SATURDAY RACEDAY
A valuable £20,000 handicap is the highlight of a seven-race Doncaster card this Saturday, 31st July, supported entirely by public service union UNISON. The UNISON 'A Million Voices for Public Services' Handicap, the feature contest for three-year-olds and upwards over the extended mile and a quarter, crowns a high-quality card. The racing programme, sponsored throughout by UNISON, begins at 2-05 p.m. with the UNISON 'Your Friend At Work' Handicap. Elsewhere, UNISON team up with insurance company LV = FRIZZELL to support a seven furlong maiden, while they also join UIA Home Insurance in sponsoring a mile and a half race for three-year-olds. Thompsons Solicitors get in on the act by joining UNISON to support a six furlong contest for sprinters. Racegoers can take the opportunity to visit the newly introduced Mallard Restaurant on the third floor of the Lazarus stand, which offers a Chef's Table dressed seafood buffet and hot carvery selection. Attractions in the Family Enclosure include face painting, a bouncy castle and a speed kick game, while a steel band will play on the Champagne Lawn in the County Enclosure. 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 (£2 return).
