BRIGG BLOG PREVIEWS LADIES' DAY AT MARKET RASEN RACES

Friday, 3rd June is definitely a day for the fairer sex in horse racing. Not only is it the occasion of the fillies’ Classic, the Investec Oaks, at Epsom Downs, it’s also Ladies’ Day at Market Rasen Racecourse.
At the Lincolnshire track, there will be an afternoon of fun, fashion shows, trade stands, jump racing and music from Marc Dillon of Pop Idol fame and local artists Molly & Will.
The day also marks a new partnership with Bloodwise, the racecourse’s first ‘charity of the year’.
The newly refurbished Brocklesby Suite Restaurant will be unveiled, a perfect Ladies’ Day treat at £90 per person to include County Enclosure admission, reserved table all afternoon, three-course à la carte lunch, afternoon tea and a race programme.
The new fashion sponsor for both Ladies’ Days at the racecourse this year – the second is on Saturday, 16th July - is Ladida Boutique of Newark - www.ladidaboutique.co.uk -  which will be putting on fashion shows and providing a £50 voucher for the best dressed competition winner.
Store owner Samantha Graham is offering a ten per cent discount in her online shop for customers who are on the racecourse’s email campaign distribution list which can be signed up for at http://marketrasen.thejockeyclub.co.uk
And ahead of Bloodwise Ladies’ Day, the racecourse is encouraging people to tweet and post images on to its social media pages, Facebook and Twitter ‘MarketRasenRace’ with the hashtag #AREYOUREADY
Nadia Gollings, General Manager, Market Rasen Racecourse (pictured above), said: “We can’t wait for Bloodwise Ladies’ Day on Friday, 3rd June. Ladies’ Days are one of the triumphs of horse racing, combining brilliant sport, the chance to dress up and socialise with friends and have a little flutter on the horses. We have wonderful fashion shows provided by our new partner Ladida Boutique and the best dressed on the day will win prizes.”
Tickets for all meetings at Market Rasen Racecourse can be purchased in advance at a discount at http://marketrasen.thejockeyclub.co.uk or through the ticket line on 0344 579 3009. Tickets for Bloodwise Ladies’ Day start at £9 in advance.

*Bloodwise, formerly Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, is accepting donations at each Market Rasen race meeting, except on 3th July and 24th September.
