The Go Racing In Yorkshire team had a fabulous day doing a photo shoot to show off the amazing prizes this year’s best dressed Lady race-goer will enjoy!
Emma White, General Manager of Go Racing In Yorkshire said ‘What a brilliant day showcasing all of these amazing prizes, my favourite part of the day had to be at The Northern Racing College with the stunning ex race horse Vicentio. When he looked at the beautiful diamond ring I don’t think he was thinking it was his kind of Carat but it’s certainly mine!’

Throughout the summer the county’s nine wonderful racecourses stage their own unique Best Dressed Lady competition in which frocks, frills and fascinators share centre stage with high class equine action out on the course.

Parade rings and specially erected fashion marques become the focal point for the fashionistas, whose stylish outfits are scrutinised by sharp eyed judges before the prizes are awarded. Each individual course winner then goes forward to the Go Racing In Yorkshire final, held at Doncaster on Saturday October 22nd, when the overall winner for 2016 will be crowned.

The first Ladies’ Day of the year takes place at Wetherby’s evening meeting on Tuesday May 24th.

The prizes for the overall winner includes a luxury two night break in a Spa Suite with treatments included at the Best Western Premier Mount Pleasant Hotel, Doncaster, an exquisite diamond ring, with a value of £2,500 courtesy of loveVintagediamonds.com and a £500 voucher for leading designer boutique Yasmine of Bawtry & Epworth.

The winning lady also becomes the face of Go Racing in Yorkshire for 2017, which promotes racing at all the Yorkshire courses.

John Sexton, Chairman of Go Racing in Yorkshire adds: ‘The ladies of Yorkshire never let us down, ensuring the racecourses are awash with colour, glamour and laughter. I look forward to seeing them out in force again throughout the summer and may the best lady win.’

If you think you have what it takes to be the next ‘Best Dressed Lady Racegoer in Yorkshire’, or simply want a memorable day out, then what are you waiting for?
