Kelso Racecourse wrapped up proceedings for its current season with its traditional ladies’ day, one of the biggest events on the Borders’ sporting calendar, at the weekend, attracting a crowd of 4,000-plus, many of them in their Sunday best.

This year’s ladies’ day was only the second staged by the Berrymoss racecourse since the lifting of coronavirus restrictions.

Racecourse managing director Jonathan Garratt was glad to see so many spectators there, saying: “Our ladies’ day crowd was the largest of the season, with in excess of 4,000 race-goers and more than 1,000 of those staying on for the after-party.

“It was a great finale to an excellent season in which we’ve witnessed some really exciting races and many top-class horses.”
