Crowds flock to Lambourn

The annual Lambourn Open Day proved one of the most memorable ever today as near record crowds flocked to the training centre and experienced vastly contrasting weather conditions.

Visitors were greeted by persistent drizzle as they embarked on a tour of more than 30 stables but left at the end of the afternoon in glorious sunshine, which made the entertainment on the field alongside the Valley Equine Hospital all the more enjoyable.
