The start of the turf season- Doncaster Lincoln Saturday and Sunday

The start of the flat turf season commenced with great racing and even better weather.
Saturday 
With three favourites winning on the day, it was definitely the day for the outsiders with some big wins including a 50/1 winner.
The second race, at 2:25, had a huge field which allowed Humbert to lead the with High Acclaim, Lord Of The Rock and King's Pavilion following close behind. Although on the other side of the track Kynren was close to the rail with Sand Chorus slightly more central. The race remained the same up till the three furlong marker when Humbert was pushed along with headway being made by High Acclaim, Lord Of The Rock and Taqdeer. At the two furlong marker Seduce Me and Kynren were ridden along. One furlong to go saw High Acclaim go to the front, heading Humbert along with the one paced Kynren, Lord Of The Rock and Pastime who all just managed to stay on. First place was the 50/1 winner High Acclaim by a neck to second place Humbert by 2 1/2 lengths, third was Kynren by a neck to fourth Lord Of The Rock.

The 4:10 had Gingersdunthelot soon leading, tracked by Izzer and the prominent Haats Off, Tizwotitiz and Arthur's Spirit  just sat close. At two to go head way was made when Izzer began to take charge of the race, headway was made by Broken Spear, Wasntexpectingthat and Haats Off yet Gingersdunthelot dropped off after making the pace.  With one furlong left Wasntexpectingthat and Lihou were both driven onwards but it was too late as Broken Spear and Izzer battled it out to the winning line both heading each other, but Izzer held on for the win by 3/4 of a length, to second Broken Spear who were well clear of third (1 1/4 lengths) Wasntexpectingthat.

Sunday 
There were 12 non-runners with the best weather of the weekend, and a favourite being placed in every race apart from one. The family fun day saw plenty of activities for all ages including; a pony race, face painting and an animal petting zoo.

In the early stages of the 3:00 the lead quickly switched from Rockies Spirit to Prevent, chased by Assimilie, Stealth and First Contact. Good headway was made by First Contact, Robsdelight and Pacific Fleet who had every chance at two to go as he was chasing the leader First Contact. However approaching the final furlong First Contact was ridden well clear and won by three lengths to the ever competitive Robsdelight in second and the going well Pacific Fleet in third by a neck.

The 4:10 had a small field of four horses. Across The Stars and Saigon City were the leading pair tracked by Great Hall and Royal Line, this did not change much for the whole race until Saigon City was ridden well clear one furlong out, the rest of the field not being able to keep up with the smooth travelling of Saigon City. Across The Stars and Royal Line chugged on at the same pace whilst Great Hall was hugely out paced. There was not catching Saigon City winning by 5 lengths, the second was Across The Stars by 3 1/4 lengths, third was Royal Line by 34 lengths and fourth was Great Hall.
