As autumn settles over Yorkshire, Doncaster Racecourse gears up for the last few fixtures of the 2025 flat racing season – and they’re not to be missed.
The Futurity Trophy Stakes Weekend (Friday 24 and Saturday 25 October 2025) marks the final headline event of the year. It’s a true celebration of the sport, featuring high-calibre horses, competitive racing, and the lively atmosphere Doncaster is famous for.
After this weekend, the course transitions into its winter programme, so October is your last chance in 2025 to enjoy top-class flat racing before the season wraps up.
