CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS TO THE QUEEN’S PLATE I find it somewhat amusing that people are already talking about plans for New Year, and yet they neglect to discuss the event which comes just after New Year, every year. An event which oozes more class and genuine fun than any New Year party could […]
Those of you who read the daily Morning Spice headlines, will remember that on Friday last week, we told you about a posh brawl which broke out at this year’s Royal Ascot, the most famous of English horse racing events. Apparently okes were taking each other on, with table legs and R1,000 bottles of bubbly. […]
A massive congratulations must go to the organisers of the 150th running of the Queen’s Plate horse race, who put on an event second to none. With the day delivering an wild array of excitement and smouldering beauty, there was barely a moment to catch one’s breath before Locnville, Zebra & Giraffe and Gizelle hit the stage for an evening concert to rival any international event. Photo gallery and celebs after the jump.

Have you seen the entertainment line up for L’Ormarins Queens Plate VIP guests? It’s basically a joke. Look, it goes without saying that the Queens Plate is the most tasteful equine event staged in South Africa, a fact underlined by this year’s theme of “Timeless Elegance”. But that won’t stop us from enjoying a little heel-clicking when the time is right. Check this out – it’s insane!
Past KFM listeners can take a stroll down memory lane this morning as Seth Rotherham and Rich Hardiman find themselves on-air with none other than the former ‘voice of Cape Town’ – Nic Marais. We’ll also be chatting to Crazy White Boy about their music success, as well as Kate and La Muse about this […]
It was just the other day that someone sent out a tweet, asking the difference between the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and another event involving horses. I scoffed at the notion, adding that it was akin to comparing chalk and cheese. But not just any cheese – I was referring to a rich blue stilton cheese […]
It’s a bit of a joke really – the LEICA D-Lux 4 camera. The very same camera that you will own if your photograph wins the L’Ormarins Moment photographic competition. If I may.. The LEICA D-Lux 4 Shame, it’ll be awkward for your friends when you’ve got the best camera. But that’s just the way […]
Excited sleepless nights leading up to the event were rewarded with the dream that was the 149th running of the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate. Cape Town and South Africa’s finest descended upon the Kenilworth race course for a day they will never forget. “Pocket Power” goes over the line to claim the title! I remember on […]
I don’t need to remind you about South Africa’s premiere social event happening on Saturday – the annual L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Horse Race at Kenilworth Race Course in Cape Town. And if you haven’t got your ducks in a row, best you pop down to Computicket right now to secure your tickets. Rather I should […]
Suffice to say, if you did NOT receive an email confirming you have won tickets to the 2010 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate horse race, then you did not win.. Well done to Michael, Raoul, Alex, Dan and Ryan! To the rest of you… better luck next time! Not that it’s all over for you! Heavens, […]
Please don’t let the same thing happen as what happened with The Killers concert in Cape Town. You know what I’m talking – those of you that woke up too late and couldn’t get tickets. The 2010 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate is on January the 9th which is one month away. That’s right, South Africa’s premiere […]
I thank God every year for the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate – a place where I can truly be myself in the comfort of like-minded people who understand the difference between being classy and being clever. A place where I feel protected from the riff-raff and can discuss the latest issue of Vanity Fair with those […]
