Doncaster Racecourse was a sea of floral frocks and brightly coloured outfits today as revellers flocked for its annual St Leger Ladies Day event.
Guests were spotted getting the beers in early as they strutted around the racetrack – one of the oldest racecourses for horse racing in the country.
Several embraced the opportunity to dig out their finest headwear for the occasion, with one racegoer sporting an elaborate floral and feather-inspired number with a large bow.
Other ladies braved the showery conditions with sleeveless dresses, strappy stilettos, thigh-skimming hemlines and no coats – though one carried a parasol as part of her vintage-inspired look.

Most racegoers choose a smart casual outfit when attending the races, but Doncaster Racecourse has differing dress codes depending on the enclosure and fixture you attend.
The dress code for the premier enclosure and the Mallard/Lincoln restaurant is a jacket and tie for gentlemen and smart attire for ladies.
This year attendees were encouraged to ’embrace the rainbow’ by dressing in an array of colours to say thank you to the NHS for their work during the pandemic.
Many will be hoping to be in with a chance of winning the £1,000 cash prize on offer in this year’s Style Awards – with the most well-dressed lady also winning entry to the Go Racing In Yorkshire Ladies Day Final at Doncaster next month, where they’ll be treated to hospitality for the day and in with a chance to win a piece of diamond jewellery worth £2,000.

Last year’s Doncaster Races were cancelled in their usual format due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but bosses had planned to run a pilot event allowing a small crowd back into a racecourse for the final three days of the St Leger meeting.
However Doncaster’s Borough Council’s Director of Public Health Dr Rupert Suckling pulled the plug last minute due to a backdrop of local infection rates rising, costing the organisers roughly £250,000.
Britain’s 59 tracks were losing £8million a month while the sport was locked down and continued to lose roughly £4miliion while they raced behind closed doors.
Average revenue from racegoers is 47 per cent of their overall racecourse income and that rises to around 60 per cent for the bigger tracks with larger crowds and meatier hospitality spend.
