Berated Bertie, banjaxed bookies — and mojitos for all

Crowds were arriving more than an hour before the first race just after 5pm to take advantage of the sun and enjoy a few beverages. Refreshment was low on the list with punters really taking advantage of the alcoholic variety on offer.

The bars were thronged as was the mojito stand near the parade ring, a new addition to the racecourse and one that was clearly welcomed. Nothing eases the pain of having to go racing in the sunshine like a mojito.
