Musselburgh Racecourse will open its gates and welcome back spectators to its spectacular Easter Saturday Raceday for the first time since 2019.
The Betway Easter Saturday featuring The Queen’s Cup is one of the highlights of the sporting calendar and its return has been widely anticipated by racing enthusiasts and those in search of a great day out over the holiday weekend.
With incredible first-class racing and entertainment, the East Lothian track will host around 6,000 racing fans who will be able to enjoy an afternoon of top-quality racing, delicious street food stalls and various food and drink options throughout.
Easter Saturday, featuring the prestigious £100,000 Queen’s Cup, received the royal seal of approval from Her Majesty The Queen herself, and will be the feature race of the day. Musselburgh is also delighted to welcome back the team from ITV who will be covering four races live on ITV4 Racing.
Musselburgh Racecourse general manager, Bill Farnsworth, commented on the return of Easter Saturday: “We are all delighted to welcome our racing fans back to the course.
“We haven’t been able to allow race goers to Easter Saturday for the past two years, and as its one of our major flagship races of the year, we are thrilled to provide a destination for couples, friends, families, and groups looking for an Easter get together with a difference.”
Chad Yeomans, Betway’s Head of Communications and PR said, “The Betway Easter Saturday fixture is a great meeting that in 2022, will see the return of racing fans to Musselburgh racecourse.
“The Betway Queen’s Cup is the feature race on the card and is a great staying handicap while the Betway Holyrood Handicap promises a competitive dash over five furlongs.”
