One of the most fashionable events in the racing calendar is taking place at Sandown Park this year when the racecourse plays host to Coral-Eclipse Day, also known as Ladies Day on Saturday 3 July and this year Camilla Dallerup, winner of Strictly Come Dancing 2008, is the ‘face’ for the day.
Coral-Eclipse Day ranks among the best flat racing days in the country with the world’s top ranking horse ‘Sea the Stars’ taking the title in historic fashion in 2009. It is also the biggest social occasion on the Sandown Park calendar, as the day is also ‘Ladies Day’. There is plenty of entertainment for all female racegoers, with the competitive Best Dressed Ladies Competition which takes place prior to racing live on Channel 4, for which the winning lady will take away a pink Vespa scooter and matching helmet! Some fabulous runners up prizes will also be on offer. Girls can also pamper and spoil themselves in the House of Fraser Style Stable, where there will be complimentary beauty treatments, fashion tips and make up top ups.
The day epitomizes glamour on and off the track; a great excuse to get dressed up and enjoy a drink of two while watching some of the country’s best flat racing. An absolute summer must!
