Glamour and style combine with racing at Catterick on Friday evening (August 16) as ‘Ladies Evening’ at the course begins at 5-35 p.m.
 
There are competitions to find the ‘Best Dressed Lady’ competition and the wearer of the ‘Best Hat’ during the evening, supported by Dawn Caroline Smith Photography (a photo-shoot at Rockliffe Hall Hotel & Spa for the ‘Best-Dressed Lady’), Yorkshire Outdoors of Felixkirk near Thirsk and ‘Oops A Daisy’, who provide the flowers. The winner will go forward to represent Catterick in the Grand Final of the ‘Best Dressed Lady Racegoer in Yorkshire’ competition, held in October at Doncaster racecourse. It’s the culmination of a special competition linking all the individual ‘Ladies Days’ on the Yorkshire racecourses this summer. She will then have the chance to win a luxury prize for two at the Best Western Premier Mount Pleasant Hotel near Doncaster, along with a £500 fashion voucher from Yasmine of Bawtry and Epworth and a diamond pendant valued at £2,500 courtesy of lovevintagediamonds.com
 
For the fourth year at this meeting, Newcastle-based Pin Point Recruitment sponsor the opening race of the evening, a middle-distance handicap contest for amateur riders.
 
There’s ‘live’ music during the evening provided by local band, ‘Trio Gitan’. As usual, the giant screen will enable racegoers to see all of the action on the track and there’s a selection of attractions for youngsters in the Course Enclosure, such as face painting, bouncy castle and roundabouts, along with the indoor play area.
