Cazoo St Leger Festival: Supermodels Caprice and Jodie Kidd spotted at Doncaster Racecourse

The Cazoo St Leger Festival got underway today as thousands are expected to flock to South Yorkshire for the event set over four days.

Before any of the crowds were allowed into the racecourse this morning, supermodels Caprice, aged 50, and Jodie Kidd, 43, were photographed taking a tour of the course.

Caprice said: ”My Mum had racehorses in California so I grew up on the tracks up until the age of ten. I have to say I have never seen a grass course before, because in the States it tends to be mainly on dirt tracks.”

The pair are said to be very excited for the annual, Ladies Day, where awards are handed out for the best outfits of the day.

It’s the one day where fashion appears as important as the racing itself, with previous winners having walked away with £1,000 as the prize,

Caprice said: “It’s far more glamourous than I expected, because in Cali you show up in your shorts and sneakers. I can’t wait to see all the Ladies of Yorkshire don their finest for Ladies Day tomorrow.”

Ladies Day is held on Thursday 8th September, followed by Doncaster Cup Day on Friday 9 the September at Doncaster Racecourse.

Tickets and information for the festival can be found here for people who don’t want to miss one of the highlights of the flat racing season.
