Ladies’ Days In Yorkshire Return
Summer flat racing welcomes the return of the ever-popular Ladies’ Day race meetings, across the nine Yorkshire racecourses.
Wetherby’s evening meeting on Monday, June 2, is the first to start the series, which runs all the way through to the Betfred St Leger meeting at Doncaster in September.
Each racecourse holds their Ladies’ Day competitions in their own way, but there will be a best dressed from each course and often additional prizes for best hat and other categories.
Unique to Yorkshire is the final, where the winner of the best dressed will qualify for the Go Racing In Yorkshire final. The winner will be chosen by public vote and voting will open on Monday 15th September and close at 5pm on Friday 26th September.
There are great prizes to be won throughout the Summer, culminating in a ‘Country Getaway’ for the winner of the final.
Sponsored by Country Huts on the Wolds, Lloyd Land Rover York and Parnaby’s, the winner will be heading off to the Yorkshire Wolds in a Range Rover, kindly supplied by Lloyd Land Rover York, to spend two nights in a traditional Shepherd’s Hut at Country Huts on the Wolds in Thixendale, before venturing to Parnaby’s in Malton, to choose his and hers Dubarry boots.
David McIntyre, Head of Business at Lloyd Land Rover York, said,
“We’re delighted to be supporting the Go Racing In Yorkshire Best Dressed Final again this year. At Lloyd Land Rover York we take pride in offering vehicles that embody luxury, style, and elegance. The Best Dressed Final allows us to share that experience with a prize that delivers the sophistication, comfort, and performance that define the Land Rover brand.”
Erin Boswell, General Commercial Manager at Thirsk Racecourse said,
“We love Ladies’ Day at Thirsk, it’s one of the highlights of our season and it’s fantastic that the past two overall winners have come from Thirsk. Let’s hope we can get the hat-trick!”
Francesca Rochester from Parnaby’s said,
“We are pleased to continue to support the Go Racing In Yorkshire Best Dressed Series. We have some lovely prizes for the winner, guaranteed to take them to the countryside, coast and beyond.”
Gilda Brader from Country Huts on the Wolds said,
“We love supporting the Go Racing In Yorkshire best dressed final and look forward to following the series and welcoming the winner.”
Charlotte Russell, General Manager of Go Racing In Yorkshire said,
