Ladies Take Center Stage at Krefeld Racing Club's Traditional Ladies' Day
On Sunday, June 8th, the Krefeld Racing Club will host its annual Ladies' Day event at the Stadtwald Racecourse. The occasion promises a day filled with equine races and elegant fashion, according to club President Horst Wittfeld.
Wittfeld expressed his delight at continuing to offer this race day, which has been a tradition for over 30 years. He invites attendees, particularly the ladies, to "dress up in stylish and unique headwear, a la Ascot," imitating the renowned British fashion event.
For those last-minute hat enthusiasts, milliner Kirsten Geißel will be on hand to cater to their needs. The day will also feature a hat competition, with a jury evaluating the most stylish and unique hats based on pre-selected entries.
Aside from the races, the Ladies' Day offers various attractions on the open grounds. These include stands showcasing decorations, jewelry, and the Zonta Club Krefeld's tombola in aid of social projects. There will also be engaging children's activities and a betting school for betting novices.
The day's entertainment includes six races, with the highlight being a 1700-meter leading handicap II worth 13,000 euros. Ten entries have been received for this race, while the race for unplaced three-year-old fillies has garnered an impressive 11 entries, each vying for a slot in the 1700-meter leading test worth 10,000 euros.
The event starts at 1:30 PM, with the first race scheduled for 2:30 PM. Tickets can be purchased online at www.krefelder-rennclub.de, offering savings of up to 40%, or at the racecourse on the day.
While there is no available information about a similar event in the provided sources for the Stadtwald Racecourse, Ladies' Day events typically include a first race start around 13:00 or 12:30, lasting until approximately 17:40, with around 10 races. A hat competition is common, as are children's activities and a betting school. Tickets can usually be booked online through the racecourse’s official site.
On this special day, ladies are encouraged to complement their presence at the races with a fashion-and-beauty statement, as they don unique headwear inspired by Ascot. At the home-and-garden stands, ladies can discover various decorative items and accessories to enhance their lifestyle.
