Located right near the finish line in the heart of the action, Doncaster Racecourse has created the first ever “Horsebox Hotel” on site, a stunning converted vintage horsebox complete with beds, cooking equipment and outdoor furniture – giving two people the best seat in the house on Saturday 16 September and a unique view to witness the action, all without ever having to leave the Racecourse!

• Breakfast in the Hilton Garden Inn on Sunday 17 September for two people

The MND Association focuses on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Up to 40,000 racegoers are expected at the Betfred St Leger the Festival this autumn, in what is always a highlight of the flat racing season and one of the most prestigious weeks of the British horse racing calendar. The Betfred St Leger Festival features four days of action-packed racing and kicks off on Thursday 14 September with Ladies Day opening proceedings for the first time in its modern history.

Rachel Harwood, Executive Director of Doncaster Racecourse, said: “The work of the MND Association has been remarkable and we’re keen to do whatever we can to help raise valuable funds. The Horsebox Hotel will be a truly unique and brilliant experience for our guests, offering the chance to win the best seats in the house and a place to embrace the atmosphere of the Betfred St Leger Festival even when all the other punters have gone home! We’re encouraging everyone to give as much as they possibly can to support this wonderful charity, but it’s worth saying that this one-of-a-kind prize could be won for as little as a one-pound donation, and every penny given will help make a difference.”

Angus O’Donnell, Regional Fundraiser, Yorkshire and Humberside at the MND Association spoke about the activity: “We are so grateful to Doncaster Racecourse and the organisers of the Betfred St Leger Festival for their initiative to raise funds for the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association. The idea to stay trackside at the St Leger Festival, in a converted horsebox is a fun idea and we are hopeful that many racegoers will want to stay in it and enter the competition to win a night in it. MND is a devastating disease and unfortunately there is no cure and no effective treatments - but there is work underway in laboratories and clinics across the world to change that. The MND Association is a leader in the funding and promotion of cutting-edge MND research and as of 31 May 2023, we had a research grant portfolio of around £20.8 million. We can only invest in that level of work thanks to the support of people and businesses like Doncaster Racecourse and their generous network of customers, family and friends, who have chosen to support the work of the Association.  I am excited to see who the lucky winner is.”
