Whether you're a racing enthusiast or just looking for a unique day out, this iconic fixture promises an electric atmosphere and world-class sporting action.
Be part of racing history with the Doncaster Cup, a highlight of the flat racing calendar and the oldest race still run under official rules, dating all the way back to 1766.
This prestigious turf race is a key feature of the Betfred St Leger Festival, attracting the best horses and jockeys from across the UK and beyond.

We’re excited to announce that this year, the popular Leger Legends Stakes, Britain’s only charity race for retired professional jockeys, will move to Betfred Doncaster Cup Day. The race will once more see legends of the weighing room back in the saddle to raise vital funds for the Injured Jockeys Fund and National Horseracing College, charities central to British horseracing and to Doncaster as a whole.
