Ladies Night - the most glamorous night of the year at Ayr Racecourse

Scotland’s most glamorous night in the racing calendar - Champagne GH
Mumm Ladies Night at Ayr will be held on Saturday 8 August, and this
year’s event promises to be the best ever.

Around 8,000 people will make Ladies Night 2009 at Ayr Racecourse a
very special glam night out.

Glamour abounds as ladies young and old don their glad rags for a
night of fun and the chance of winning big by being awarded a bronze
coin and a passport to Ladies Day Final on Friday 18 September.

Prizes that day are simply superb - this year’s top prize is a
Vauxhall Tigra Convertible courtesy of Kerr & Smith and Iveco Trucks
and second and third prizes are a Norwegian cruise courtesy of Fred
Olsen and a piece of jewellery from designer Alex Cairncross.

Judges will mingle with the crowd on Ladies Night and choose a number
of ladies they consider to be the best dressed on the night.

They will be presented with a bronze coin that guarantees them a place
in Ladies Day Final when they will draw the name of a horse running in
the big race that day - the William Hill (Ayr) Gold Cup.

The lady who picks the horse that wins the race drives off in the
fabulous Kerr & Smith Vauxhall Tigra, with the runners up bagging the
other fabulous prizes.

But don’t worry if you don't come away from Ladies Night with a coin -
you will still have a fabulous night out in stylish surroundings.

Relax with a glass of bubbly in the sumptuous surroundings of the
Champagne Lawns adjacent to the paddock. Or strut your stuff in the
prestigious Princess Royal Suite which boasts two bars and a panoramic
view of the racecourse.

And the fun doesn’t end with the last race - there is superb
entertainment with leading show band Waterfront performing in the
Princess Royal Suite and renowned blues band Counselled Out appearing
in the Ayrshire Suite. Both bands will be playing late into the night,
and there will be plenty of room to dance.

First race is at 5.50pm and gates open at 3.50pm.

There are seven races on the card with the first - the Victor Chandler
Apprentice Handicap over 6 furlongs with £6,000 in prize money.

Feature race on the night is the Champagne GH Mumm Cuvee R. Lalou EBF
Maiden Stakes for two year olds over seven furlongs which should
attract some promising juveniles.

The evening also features one of the longest races of the flat season
at Ayr - the 1 mile 7 furlongs Champagne GH Mumm Cordon Rouge
Handicap.

Ayr Racecourse PR Iain Ferguson said: “Ladies Night is normally just
associated with all the off-course glamour, but we also have some
great racing and we should have some big fields and very competitive
races.”
