Last time I went to Royal Ascot the ladies were walking (more like slushing) around with muddy dress bottoms and plastic bags on their feet. And 2-3 fur from the winning post. Lovely. Never again, unless I do it properly and they lower the admission price.
 
Princess my secret sources in the fashion world advise me that this natty number will be all the rage in the Premier enclosure tomorrow:

You heard it here first !!
 
Aww, and it almost matches my dress as well!

If you see a young lady on the tv in a pink dress with a tea cosy on her head and an embarassed husband on her arm, you'll know it was me!

Gorgeous George WashingTOON, if you already have badges for the Premier Enclosure, you will be able to get within a hundred yards of the winning post. I think it is a sell out in there, so if you are paying at the gate you will be in the Grandstand & Paddock enclosure with the plebs. Standing near the winning post is the preserve of the upper classes (something that may count against Ascot hosting the Arc if our socialist neighbours even think about holding it abroad when they rebuild Longchamp).

I hope that you are in good shape and do not have a heart condition or some such ailment that is going to prevent you from negotiating the steps as there are loads around the parade ring and loads to get from the grandstand down to the trackside lawns.

Dexter,

You should really push the boat out and go on Friday 4th. Always a great days racing without the huge crowds that go on the Saturday. I find that more and more the Saturday crowd is made up of drunks who come on buses from whatever drinking establishment they frequent. They appear to be people who only leave their hovel once or twice a year with the sole aim of getting plastered. Most of them never see a minute's racing and when they go to place a bet they haven't a clue either and end up arguing with the bookmakers, or worse still, the tote employees.

Have to agree Nass.

My next outing will be the JN CC at Down Royal on the 5th of Nov.A crowd of my friends fly over every year and it usually coincides with the Breeders Cup in the evening.Proper days sport and decent stamina test for both man and beast!

In fact,I try to avoid all meetings which will be patronised by the newbies the BHA are trying to attract...what a dreadful attitude!!..<laugh>

I'll be there tomorrow. Last minute plan made with my mother. Should be a good day to enjoy. I've been to Ascot a few time and have always enjoyed it. But maybe I'm just easily pleased :D
