While the horse racing is the serious business of the annual Hay Races, the glitz and glamour of social gathering has cemented it as one of the most important days in the calendar.

More than 1500 people streamed through the gates, and with $6,00 in prizes up for grabs, the fashions on the field were hotly contested.
