"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.”
