It is run at Doncaster over a distance of 5 furlongs and 143 yards (1,137 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in September. The event was established in 1855, and for a period it was known as the
Lincoln Racecourse by the Lincoln Corporation on West Common in 1773. The grandstand of 1897 is a Grade II listed building, now used as a community centre. The A57 road passed between the course and the grandstand.

After closure the course was used for many years as a Point to Point track. Lincoln Racecourse Lincoln Racecourse is a former horse racing venue to the west of the city of Lincoln,
