Doncaster Racecard - Thursday 6th February by Arena Racing Company

GRIMTHORP E CHASE

S A T 1& SU S U N 2M A R C H MA

THE ULTIMATE ENDURANCE TEST 19 JUMPS | 3 MILES | 2 FURLONGS

Welcome to Doncaster Racecourse, we are delighted you’ve joined us here today for some mid-week afternoon jumps racing and we would like to thank our sponsors Virgin Bet for their generous support of today’s ﬁxture.

There are 7 races on the card and our Raceday presenter Bobby Beevers and resident tipster Roger Hart will be in the parade ring around 12.25pm to run through the racecard with you and hopefully pick out some of your winners!

The Grimthorpe Chase is coming up on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd March and is the penultimate jumps ﬁxture at Town Moor. Run at Doncaster each year, the Grimthorpe Chase is a National Hunt steeplechase that contains 19 jump fences. The distance has varied over time but currently sits at a little over 3 miles and 2 furlongs Considered the ultimate endurance test, this race is seen as a trial for the Aintree Grand National in April, as many winners (such as Moroder and Does He Know) have gone to be favourites in the Merseyside race

Join us on Friday 14th March and experience all the thrills of Cheltenham – without the price tag! This is the last jumps ﬁxture at Town Moor and we’ll be showing the Cheltenham Festival live on our screens. The day will also feature an Irish twist with dancers from Nadine Martin Academy of Irish Dancing entertaining you throughout the day.

On Saturday 29th March, Doncaster Racecourse ofﬁcially opens the British Turf Flat racing season with the William Hill Lincoln meeting. Our Lincoln Family Fun Day is on Sunday 30th March and will include free entertainment and activities for the whole family including a circus workshop, character appearances, Shetland pony racing, a magician, a colouring station, a reading corner and much more!

2025 Annual Memberships are now on sale and offers entry to 500+ ﬁxtures across Arena Racing Company racecourses, four free guest passes, four free racecards, auto-enrolment into the ARC Racing Club for a taste of racehorse ownership, access to attend a variety of reciprocal ﬁxtures and events, plus much more.

With improvement on the cards now pitched into a handicap in this sphere, WISE EAGLE looks the way to go American Sniper performed with credit when third atWetherby last time and he is feared most back down in trip here, while Bold Reaction is also shortlisted and Persian Time would be a threat if able to bounce back now returned to this sphere. Shanagh Bob remains lightly-raced but this drop back in trip is of dubious benefit
