Any one else in attendance? This is something like my 10th time. Every year to me gets more chavvy. Dressed up drunken low lives everywhere.

Still, I made money so happy. Anyone else have thoughts on this event?

    Went once about five years ago, never again. Am sure it's more civilised in the stands though, chavsville everywhere else and a nightmare getting a train home.

    That's me. I'm the Queens Anne enclosure but now on train home. Drunken scum like an dreadful Essex wedding

    O'Brien/Coolmore just have far too many goods horse .. racing is getting too predictable .. Coolmore/Qatar/Godolphin/Sheik Mohammed's Family on the flat and Rich Richie/McManus/Mullins over the sticks .. the big events/races are getting almost boring

    Used to go Tuesday and Thursday every year back in the nineties but grew to hate it because of the overcrowding and the type of people in attendance. Also vastly overpriced to watch racing from tattersalls.
    Give me Cheltenham any day of the week.

    Went ladies day every year for 20 years. Love my horses and seeing the best turn up to challenge each other. But stopped going 10-12 years ago, when it became a beano day out with drunks males and females by 1 o'clock and fighting. Not for me !

    We went to The Grand National about 10 years ago & that was far worse. Chav City & you even had to be careful not to make eye contact at times.

    Well Aintree has always been a bit like an away game at the Den. Ascot was fine, until the Chav,s discovered it.

    I was sad to learn that a horse called Guy Fawkes died at this meeting. The number of horses losing their lives due to racing is a disgrace. You can how many here: horsedeathwatch.com/

    Not Royal Ascot but I am going on 23rd July - never been to the races before.

    Rather than faffing about hiring a driver and a van we've decided to go up in a limo and have fun for the day. Apologies if this renders us into the Chav category but I'm quite looking forward to it.

    Renders you into a category, but probably not Chav.
