Ladies Day

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to buy a new outfit, then look no further. The glitz & glamour hits Ponte Carlo on Wednesday 5th August. With an array of hats, fascinators and stilettos, the ladies of Yorkshire truly do ‘dress to impress’ in an effort to win the coveted Best Dressed Lady Competition kindly sponsored by RIU Hotels and Resorts.

The lucky winner of the coveted Best Dressed Ladies Competition will be jetting off on an incredible holiday to Zanzibar! This years winner will enjoy a fabulous all inclusive week stay for two with flights included. There is also an amazing prize for our runner up, this year’s runner up will win a three-night stay for two people, on half board basis at the RIU Palace Nautilus, Torremolinos, Spain! (flights not included)

There are excellent views of the course from all three enclosures each with a selection of dining delights and drink outlets.

It is always cheaper to book in advance, don’t forget U18s race free! This applies to every enclosure on every race day.

This fixture is also an autism friendly raceday, with a dedicated sensory room and designated quiet and safe space. To find out more please visit: autisminracing.com
