L'Ormarins Queen's Plate

On Saturday 7 January 2012, the 151st running of the Queen's Plate was hosted @ Kenilworth Race Course, Cape Town.  They hosted the gathering of South Africa's most respected thoroughbreds in the country's oldest horse race.

The Queen's Plate first thundered onto African soil in 1861, it signaled a meeting of racing excellence, style & grace that has continued unsurpassed in he history of South African horse racing.

A race that began with a silver plate & 500 sovereigns donated to the winner by Queen Victoria.

It's all about the right people - 8000 of the right people.
Dress code is strictly Blue & White.
It's about elegance, sophistication & like-minded people.

I was lucky enough to be given a VIP ticket by Elizabeth Arden for the "Stud Club" hospitality tent.  It was VERY hot, so I am truly grateful for being under the shade of the tent the entire day!!!

My sexy lady

BIG congrats to Ryan & Heather on their
engagement on 6 January 2012
