Anyone who made it to Saturday’s 151st L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate will attest to the fact that it was everything and more than we could possibly imagine! What a day of royal elegance it was! Guests witnessed an appearance of the legendary Pocket Power leading out the contenders for the main race, the L’Ormarins Queens Plate – Grade 1 – 1600m, won by Gimmethegreenlight in a memorable edition of the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate.

Gimmethegreenlight takes it!

Whether your frolicking was done in the VIP Stud Club or the Caprice tent, there was no shortage of eye-candy, as both boys and girls went to town with the blue and white theme. Vintage dresses were paraded side-by-side with tight little blue and white numbers. It was something of an A-list celebrity scrum, as everyone from Miss South Africa to Pro surfer Jordy Smith shared the limelight. That main picture above is of Miss SA, Melinda Bam, Lady Kitty Spencer and Jo-Ann Strauss. They were spotted later that night, partying to Tumi & the Volume, The Kongos, Spoek Mathambo and finally Cape town’s #1 disc-spinner, DJ Sox!
