Where to eat and drink: The Food Court on the first floor of the grandstand is not the worst place to grab a bite - it's clean, reasonably-priced and there's a decent variety of outlets for young and old. There are a number of other bars and eateries around the racecourse, including the excellent Mallard Restaurant, if you are pushing the boat out.
Beyond the racecourse, and if you're looking to contine your night out afterwards, most of the trendiest night spots (and others catering for clientele beyond their teens and 20s) are around the Silver Street area of the city centre. The night life in Doncaster might lack the chic-factor of some of the other big cities in Yorkshire, but it has definitely improved in recent years. There are some decent choices available for the real ale fan too, most notably the quirky Cask Corner.
Of course, if you want to travel a little further afield - the Crown in Bawtry is a famous haunt for the racing tribe and spawned a legendary promotional video that has long since gone down in racing folklore (click here to view).

Billing any post-race entertainment as 'Party On The Lawn' is both guaranteed to sell a few extra tickets and ensure monsoon-like weather conditions on the night, but the presence of Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills will either way ensure that the crowd at Doncaster on Thursday builds as the evening goes on rather than falls away.
It isn't the hottest card ever staged on Town Moor, but as is usually the case here the prize money is respectable and the meeting is boosted further by the presence of Silvestre de Sousa on his way to a second jockeys' championship title.
Given the fact that £14,000 is up for grabs, the line-up in the main fillies' handicap at 7.50 is a shade on the disappointing side, but there are some eyecatching runners from some of the big Newmarket stables elsewhere on the card
One to Watch...
Roger Varian sent out the winner of the seven-furlong maiden in both 2013 and 2014 his representative Gorham's Cave must be worth a second glance, especially with Silvestre De Sousa booked.
Bought at Tattersalls Book Two back in 2015, connections have obviously had to be patient to this point, but the son of Rock of Gibraltar is related to a number of decent performers and ought to be sharp enough to give a good account of himself first time out for a stable that has had half-a-dozen winners from its last 15 or so runners.
Wannabe Friends sets a fair standard, but doesn't seem to be improving and another latest change of stables hasn't produced a dazzling change in performance.
Dark Horse...
According to his Twitter bio, Kevin Frost is "striving to succeed with hard work and honesty" which can't be a bad thing.
Having recently moved stables to a new yard alongside the M6, Frost could do with a winner to advertise his talents.
It might not quite come yet with the entertainingly-named The Fettler, but he's nevertheless a colt to look out for on Thursday evening.
Far too green to do himself any justice over course and distance on his recent debut, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him taking a sizeable step forward in the Terry Bellas Memorial Novice Stakes at 6.15.
A Breeze-Up sales purchase in the spring, he wasn't cheap at £45,000 and is related to some decent performers. With Stoute, Johnston and Hannon represented, along with a Bryan Smart runner who already has winning form in the book, he's going to be a very big price. You never know.
One for another day?
Mark Johnston had been set to run Arch Gold in the 6.15 race, but have conditions gone against the colt?
Son and assistant Charlie told Sporting Life on Wednesday: “If they’ve had the rain we’ve had here [at Catterick] there’s a chance he won’t run.
"He’s a very very nice horse, bought by Mr Lootah and Richard Knight from the Breeze-ups in Arqana.
"We ran him at Hamilton first time out which was a bit soft for him and soft ground didn’t help him, seven furlongs on better ground will suit.
"We’re very keen to run him at Doncaster if the ground is okay, he’s a very nice horse. We were hoping for a dry day but instead we’ve had a wet one. He’s a nice horse to keep an eye on though.”
Ben Linfoot's best bet
The Parish Boy you’ll see in the opening Play Sportinglife Pick 7 For Free Now Handicap, is a different horse to the one that beat Order Of St George a couple of times in his youth, but he’s found his new level now and is fancied to win.
A good juvenile for Jim Bolger in Ireland, he really struggled after beating the subsequent Ascot Gold Cup winner on two occasions, running just once as a three-year-old and once as a four-year-old without success.
Gelded and picked up by David Loughnane at the start of the year, he began life in England off a mark of 95 but did show glimpses of promise on occasions on his way down to a rating of 78.
It’s taken him just five runs on the Flat to drop 17lb, though, which shows you how disappointing he’s been generally. That was until he ran off 78 at Doncaster last week over 10 furlongs.
Held up in the rear by Josephine Gordon, he finished his race off really nicely for second. The gallop did collapse up front a bit with the first three coming from off the pace, but that’s no reason to be discouraged by his effort.
He’s now running off a mark he can win off and the key to him could be being held up off the pace over a mile and a half. The bit of cut in the ground looks ideal and he’s taken to finally get back in the winner's enclosure now he returns to Doncaster over a more suitable trip.
