Stunners At Sandown – The Coral Eclipse Day’s Secret Life Of Fashion

Coral Eclipse Day may host amazing horse races, but it also sets the stage for an outrageous display of fashion and style. Known also as the Ladies’ Day, this meeting sets aside a generous portion of time for the appreciation of the track side fashion statements. Including some seriously girly fun in the race meeting, from best-dressed competitions to on site beautifications, Coral Eclipse Day will be a feast for the senses and a great experience even for those who know little about the races.

Famed as one of the season’s most extravagant race days, the Coral Eclipse Day at Sandown Park Racecourse has become a coveted social event for the young and beautiful. This year will see a Best Dressed Ladies Competition, televised on Channel 4 before the racing begins. The competition not only gives the stunning belles of the track the opportunity to show off their couture, hats and fascinators to the crowd of spectators, they also have the chance to zoom away from the race day on a new scooter. The first price of the Best Dressed Ladies Competition in 2010 is nothing less than a pink Vespa Scooter and matching helmet.

If the Ladies need a touch-up during the meeting, or simply long for some tender loving care in terms of beauty, Sandown Park Racecourse provides just the thing: the House Of Fraser Style Stable. Offering complementary beauty treatments, make-up top ups and fashion tips, the Style Stable is a great location to unwind between and after the excitement of the races.

The face of the 2010 Coral Eclipse Day, the lady leading all ladies in their parade of gorgeous extravagance, is Camilla Dallerup, winner of 2008’s Strictly Come Dancing. Join her in the ranks of the best dressed and best entertained at the biggest social event of the weekend.

In times when all-out glamour sadly seems to be inappropriate at most social gatherings it would be a sin to miss one of the few days when you can truly dress the part. Get out your wildest frocks and mount something glorious atop your carefully coiffed hair – and get down to Sandown Park Racecourse on Saturday 3rd July. The Coral Eclipse Day is ready to welcome you in style and with open arms.
