TAKEN FROM THE GREYHOUND STAR
CRAIG DAY, Doncaster’s new racing manager, will oversee the South Yorkshire track’s biggest meeting for a number of years tonight.
The finals of the 2024 Yorkshire Derby and BGBF British Bred St Leger will be the highlights of a 12-race all open-race card with the Category Two events offering first prizes of £8,000 and £3,000 respectively.
Day, who previously worked in the betting industry and was a regular guest on RPGTV before taking up the role at Doncaster, is looking forward to finals night and is already looking forward to the future.
“It’d be great to make the Yorkshire Derby a Cat One next year – and that’s what the Watson family will be pushing for,” he said. “None of this would be possible without their support and I know they’re keen to upgrade the Yorkshire Derby now it’s back on the schedule.”
As for Saturday’s deciders, Day feels both are very competitive and is delighted with the overall quality – and below is his thoughts on each of the finalists for the respective competitions.
