The Glamour of Ladies Day at Newmarket

Get your Ladies Day tickets through my comprehensive guide to every racecourse throughout the UK.

Question: Where do you think you can pick up £73,000 plus for free by doing the things you love?

Answer: Just by attending certain race meetings throughout the UK

Puzzled? The Racing Events in question GAVE AWAY this year 3 cars, 4 foreign holidays, £13,000 in jewellry, 6 stays in luxury hotels and much, much more.

Think you've been missing something?

The events in question are 'LADIES DAYS'

Yup, I was staggered when I started researching this subject and it's set to get even bigger. Ladies days are by far the most popular racing events and attract huge crowds.

So all you female subscibers start sorting out your best glad rags and the guys now have a perfect excuse to get wives, partners, sisters out to those Ladies Days and start bringing home some of that largesse.



I have put together a webpage which brings together information on all the Ladies Days at UK racecourses so that you can see where and when they take place and the prizes they offer.

This information will be updated as it becomes available.

If any readers wish to share their views on what to wear and what to avoid they can do so by clicking the link below
