et you had fun taking those photo's P M - what's your opinion of the 3 days.
Tends to get the 'orange women' coverage from the popular press but I think that generally there is a fantastic atmosphere and mostly friendly people from all over the world out to have a good time. |

Hi Crys.
Those Aintree pics were taken by my business partner, Mark Johnston. He's been a pro photographer for years and loves Aintree (way more than unfriendly Cheltenham). I've never been there but we'll both have press passes for next year. |

Aintree is most definitely full of orange women on Friday and Saturday.
I used to work 2 mins round the corner and only live a few miles away and the Friday especially is full of orange women, lads in "Next Sale" suits and posh sunglasses (even if it rains!!) They all go for a Champagne Breakfast and then think they're cool turning up in their Hummer limo's. They pay a ridiculous price for a grandstand ticket and think they are "cool" because they're in a grandstand. They then spend £70 for a bottle of Moet to pose in front of everyone else. Obviosuly not everyone is like this but I think you can tell its not for me. On the other hand, the October and November meetings there are great-I feel priveledged to say I was there to see Monet's Garden win his last ever race in front of a knowledgable crowd who appreciated this wonderful horse |
