It was Ladies Day Out at the racecourse in Nuwara Eliya, the home of the Royal Turf Club and the cradle of the revival of Horse Racing in Sri Lanka. The scenic beauty of one of the most picturesque racetracks in the world was complemented by the bevy of beauties that descended onto the lush green turf that abounds in the manicured precincts of the RTC. On Saturday 17 September it was the ladies who ruled the roost. Racing is what brings it all together but this time the four legged equines took the proverbial back seat as the ladies who flocked to the RTC arena made it look like scenes from Royal Ascot or the Melbourne Cup. Adding to the charm and the ambience was Natasha Rathnayake rocking the crowd as she belted out one popular number after another and her group of dancers wowed the crowds with some real nifty footwork. If the fashion on display was not eye catching enough, Catherine of l atelier Touché fame set the ramp alight with a truly exhilarating Fashion Show. The theme was Tropical Wear and you can bet your last rupee on the fact that a lot of the young ladies who come racing again in October will be sporting the outfits that were displayed today. All in all it was an exciting day’s racing and you can look forward to more when the RTC stages its next race on 29 October up in Nuwara Eliya.
