Aintree have gone nuts and wants to throw out photographers who take photos of drunken women and giving the ladies day at the Grand National a bad name.
Instead of dealing with the problem of too much drinking the course instead wants to remove the photographers who intend to show drunken women rather than showing the course in a good light.
It’s because us laidees are always buying clothes for weddings and suchlike and never get a chance to wear them again so it’s a good way of attracting non racing folk to the races. Why, having put on said glad rags they then have to get drunk as skunks is another matter. Alas, I can’t walk in the sort of shoes they wear even when I’m sober. Perhaps they have to drink to numb the pain.
Haha Moehat. Whenever I see the word “laidee” I still can’t help thinking of Emily Howard from “Little Britain”! Well, so long as you don’t frighten the horses.

No doubt, if there are no photos, the Aintree management can pretend that there aren’t tanked up tattooed tarts tottering through Tattersalls.
Sadly it’s all about selling alcohol and making money, rather than being a showcase of racing. That’s a problem that society has in general, not just horse race meetings. Where there’s trash, there’s cash, just shut your eyes and pretend it’s people just showing freedom of expression and the right to get comatose in the name of Wallace And Gromit’s Grand Day Out. Pass the cheese lad.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Good points stevec…you sound even MORE p***ed off than I am about the way Aintree is going! But, as you also mention, it is not just racing that is suffering from the curse of Carlsberg. That said, let’s hope we don’t see too much of boozy brassy busty blondes behaving badly beside Becher’s Brook.

I remember deciding at the last minute to go to Leicester races once, so I pootled along in tatty jeans and a t shirt, only to find it was Laidee’s Day. I did feel a prawn
I'd like to live in a place where they cordon off swans...Good points stevec…you sound even MORE p***ed off than I am about the way Aintree is going!

You are out-alliterating me Proper Fences.
As to the big race itself, I hope the headline reads.

Excellent Stevec. You don’t work for The Sun, do you?!

Being sort of serious, for a moment, about a subject which too easily lends itself to mockery, is there any real risk to man, woman or horse should the drunken antics get out of hand? I am thinking of the Kicking King/Drunken Santa near-hit on the run in of the King George about ten years ago. I have never been to the National Meeting and am beginning to think I haven’t missed much.
Depends what happens. There was the p*sshead last year at an Evening meeting who ventured out on to the course whilst the race was in progress. Can’t remember which track this was at? I suppose any silly antics which may spook a horse for example in the parade ring could have disastrous consequences.
After last years Melbourne Cup someone spooked Araldo by waving a flag. He broke a leg and had to be put down.
I think, it’s difficult. You need the people and the enthusiasm, but where’s the limit?But to ban the pictures is no solution of the Problem

Ease Up, 40 years ago I was still in Primary School, only just mind you.
Back then I opened the paper at the back for the Horse Racing first and then at the front, but could never seem to reach page 4. The simple rule of thumb was “Back of paper for tips, front of paper for ….”
I can’t think why, but this eyes popping smiley seems strangely appropriate
