South Africa's premier horse-racing event, the L'Ormarins Queen's Plate, is excited to introduce an additional day to 2017's line-up of festivities, set to take place on Friday & Saturday 6th-7th January at Kenilworth Racecourse.
Owing to its growth and popularity with both local and international guests, the development promises to be a stunning new addition to the brand and firmly positions LQP as South Africa's biggest horse racing festival with an unparalleled 18 race card.
On Friday, 500 guests will be first to experience the inaugural LQP Garden Party (R500 per person) complete with bubbles, picnic baskets for groups of two, four, six, and ten, live jazz and access to the racing. In addition guests will also have access to the Style Lounge Village on the inaugural second day of the festival.
As is tradition, Saturday's event will run from 11am - 11pm and consist of a 10-race card, with South Africa's finest thoroughbreds competing for the coveted L'Ormarins Queen's Plate and R1 million purse.
Friday's line-up will commence at 12pm, with an exciting day of 8 races, including the prestigious Sceptre Stakes, the Western Cape's premier sprint race for fillies. Gates will close at 5pm in order to prepare for the following day of festivities
