Many betting customers are looking to take advantage of horse racing price boosts when they scan through the Doncaster racecards. There are meetings at this south Yorkshire track throughout the flat racing season, including the St Leger, although another big race takes place in the form of the Park Stakes.
This is a Group 2 flat horse race and this has been in operation for well over forty years, with this being a fairly short-distance encounter of seven furlongs. Horses aged three or older are allowed to enter and there are penalties in place for any runners who have previously experienced success in Group 1 or Group 2 races.
The Doncaster Park Stakes betting odds are generally available in the build-up to the race, with this having had Group 2 status since 2004. Indeed, this forms part of the St Leger racecard as it takes place during the four-day meeting and therefore has a high profile when it comes to bookmakers pricing it up.
There have been three successful horses in the Park Stakes who have managed to land a victory on two occasions. Bishop Of Cashel was able to score a victory in 1995 and 1996, while Iffraaj was able to do the same thing in 2005 and 2006 before Arabian Gleam claimed the spoils in 2007 and 2008.
The Park Stakes is also a race where jockey Frankie Dettori has been successful and the Italian has achieved five wins and counting. Green Line Express was a winner in 1990 to give Dettori his first success, with Handsome Ridge, Wichita and Kinross among the victors for the top jockey.
