And They're Off

[Barmaid]

I do wonder at the sanity of people who go to a race meeting on a freezing April day (certainly the temperature round here yesterday peaked at a balmy 9 degrees when the sun came out temporarily) in very little to cover themselves and in killer heels (which on grass is just daft). I'd be wrapped up warm in a thick coat, a hat, a scarf and flat shoes!! But I am an old fuddy duddy.

Still there are some lovely dresses here; but also some frocky horrors!

Is it just me?!

And, before i get arrested by the spelling police, i should have said Range Rover 'Evoque'. :-)

No winners so far and i couldn't even get the style award prediction correct. Though, to be fair, the lady who did win was probably the oldest of the 5 finalists and, while i'm certainly no fashion judge, her outfit wasn't all that. Can't do links, but some of you will no doubt catch pics of the winner of the £35,000 Range Rover.

Wonder how many horses will die this year? Would ban it completely, but hey what do I know.

I may be thick, maggiebee, but as far as i know, no horses have ever died as a result of Ladies Day Style Awards but hey what do i know? :-///

Thanks for the link, Mamy.
