Has anyone been in recent years ?
Not attended for going on 15 years now but was easily one of my favourites when it was midweek onwards, ending the Friday. Had a nice pace to it, knowledgeable folk, weather always decent - an overall classier affair.
Has that changed ? Was considering taking the missus away for all 3 days but slight concern it's gone the same way as quite a few being moved to weekend - ie a louty, boozy

elis - from what i read on here etc , the thursday is better day to go I'll probably scale the idea back and go for that and possibly even the Friday July Cup day was a great day in the past, had some good winners along the way too, but just can't see past the Saturday of it all right now |

takes a special kind of weapons grade ignorance to downgrade/ruin the history of the THE JULY CUP, MAGNET CUP and ASCOT MILE in space of 60 mins , had many days in past sat in a bar at York on a leisurely Fri discussing the previous days July cup winner,even before they moved the JULY CUP to sat,York used to struggle to get the top jocks appearing because of ASCOT and the big race in Ireland on same day,not sure the Irish race hasn't moved
