Day 1 - Leger Legends Day
The Cazoo St Leger Festival kicks off with a bang when retired legends of the saddle dust off their breeches and return to action in this unique charity race, a contest run on the straight mile, raising money for a range of racing charities.
The race has been won in the past by some of the biggest names in the racing world, including Sir AP McCoy, Joseph O’Brien and Julie Krone and sits alongside the Sceptre Stakes, run over seven furlongs, as a day one highlight for racing fans.
Day 2 - Ladies Day
The ultimate in glitz and glamour, this is Yorkshire's biggest social occasion. Ladies Day attracts the finest in fashion, and the stakes are set high with the Style Awards, open to all, with a £500 prize to be won, alongside a range of other goodies!
This year, the Style Guide asks the Doncaster crowd to embrace #DressLikeARoyal and wear fashion inspired by the Queen’s 70th Jubilee year, spanning decades of regal style icons.
On the track, the Park Hill Stakes, often referred to as the ‘fillies St Leger’, takes centre stage along with the May Hill Stakes over a mile and the popular Weatherby’s £300,000 race for two-year-olds.
