Last year the Betfred Sunday Funday took place for the first time, drawing in an impressive crowd of enthusiastic attendees. Families, friends, and individuals gathered to enjoy a fantastic afternoon of racing, alongside a wide array of activities and attractions, ensuring there was something for everyone.
This year, Doncaster Racecourse is pulling out all the stops with an action-packed day. As well as the thrilling live horse racing, The Betfred Sunday Funday will feature an abundance of free entertainment and activities, such as:
Racegoers can choose from a range of ticketing options allowing them flexibility to bring their own picnic into the family enclosure or opt for hospitality options to suit all.
The day also includes the famous Graham Lee Bet Vickers Leger Legends race. First run in 2010, it remains the only British charity race for ex-professional jockeys and this year will have some huge names such as Sammy Jo Bell, Megan Nicholls, Robbie Power, Jimmy McCarthy, David England and more. Previous winners include horse racing industry legends AP McCoy, Joseph O’Brien, Brian Harding and Julie Krone.
Rachel Harwood, Executive Director of Doncaster Racecourse, said: “Last year was a huge success and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy the Sunday Funday. This event not only added a new dimension to our prestigious Betfred St Leger Festival but also celebrated the vibrant spirit of our community. “We’re really looking forward to seeing families enjoying a fun day at the Racecourse to finalise the 2024 Betfred St Leger Festival and no doubt they will enjoy a brilliant day out.”
