Ladies day at Kenilworth

Ladies Day at Kenilworth Racecourse is one of the fastest growing race
meetings in the country and will take place at Cape Town’s premier racing
venue on August 15 this year.

Kenilworth Racing's Jenna Adams said "the theme for this year’s event is
the glitz and elegance of Las Vegas, one of the bright light cities of the
world. The theme is sure to add some razzmatazz to the lawns, grandstand
and rooms, so dress up and step out for a fun, formal day at the races".

Ladies within the racing industry will be attracted by the occasion, but
there are some activities on course which will provide particular draw card
for newcomers to the Sport Of Kings. Land Rover, one of the sponsors of the
day, will have vehicles on course to drive ladies to the start in order to
experience the thrill of watching the horses loading and jumping from the
starting stalls at the beginning of a race.

Betting World is another sponsor and have donated betting vouchers, which
will provide racegoers with plenty of extra excitement when cheering their
fancies on.

Author, magazine columnist, radio and TV presenter and celebrity chef Jenny
Morris will be the Master of Ceremonies, the "Giggling Gourmet", is one of
SA’s most loved food personalities and is extremely excited to be a part of
the day.

There will be a lot of on course entertainment, including a fashion show
hosted by Desray Designs. Fashion entrepreneur Desiree Jearey started out
on Greenmarket Square in 1991 and after ten year tenure as one of Young
Designer Emporium’s leading designers, she branched out and now has eight
Desray stores around the country. Using a South African design aesthetic,
Desray’s clothes are designed to flatter the female body no matter what
shape or size and creates ready-to-wear clothes for “real people.”

The annual Ladies Day luncheon will take place in the Peninsula Room where
Perdeberg Wines have come to the party and will be offering the ladies who
lunch some of their finest cultivars. The day will again be focused on the
upliftment of charity and this year's charity, The Sunflower Fund will
benefit from the auction of a promising racehorse. The Fund’s chief
objective is to create awareness and to educate potential bone marrow stem
cell donors who could save the life of a child or young adult diagnosed
with leukaemia or any other life threatening blood disorder. The training
fees for the racehorse will again be sponsored by Crawford Racing who
continues to support this initiative.

The incredible generosity of partners such as Samara Private Game Reserve,
Club Travel, Elite Charter, Dermalogica, Kitchen Aid, AMT’s, Rustica and
African Extracts Rooibos will add to the day's festivities.

Although the Peninsula Room's activities are restricted to the ladies as
the afternoon rolls on the boys are welcome to join in from 16h00 when the
charity auction takes place.
