The US Navy officers and Anne,Princess Royal, looked smart. Princess Beatrice's dress was lovely.

As expected, Sophie looked lovely and had fun time.
Horses can have catastrophic injuries during racing, they always have a horse ambulance on hand at the races.

2014..........
Later, the Queen was seen looking grim during a post-race conference with her horse trainer Sir Michael Stoute and Capel Path's jockey before returning to the Royal Box to see another of her thoroughbreds, Dartmouth, compete in the George V Stakes.

Scroll down in the link until you get to the actress Kimberley Garner, who is wearing a along pink dress and hat. There are two pictures side-by-side. The clearest example of how key lighting (and aperture opening) is to the 'look' of a dress in a photograph. The picture on the right is far-and-away the better picture imo due to the lighting (and her posture and facial expression). The picture on the left could be of a whole different dress (and person). This is why I am very leery of giving a negative comment on a dress. Photographs are a tricky business.
Thanks! What an excellent example of what you said! In one of the pictures the actress looks like Paris Hilton at her best, and in the other she looks like the Dairy Princess of Limestone County.
The camera doesn't lie - but it does shade the truth sometime.

The Queen always looks like that, when she is not smiling. And she appeared to be on top form as usual, before and after the accident.

Horses unfortunately have relatively fragile legs for animals of their size, and the physiology of those legs can result in catastrophe if a bone is broken or circulation compromised in any way. Horses need to evenly distribute their weight for their circulation to function properly, and when one leg is injured other legs often develop a condition called laminitis which can be fatal. Laminitis is what killed Secretariat and Barbaro just to name two. Horses are also really good at hurting themselves and many do so in their own stalls or paddocks.The Queen's horse, Capel Path, suffered an injury during a race and had to be taken from the track by ambulance. He's been taken to a vet for examination/xrays and they will determine from there what to do next.
Several hundred horses are put down every year after track injuries. Jumping/Event horses are put down as well. It's a risk that goes with the sport. It happens in other disciplines too but most people just aren't that aware of it.

Oh dear, I was just riveted by the lack of bodice on her gown. Looking at someone's bony sternum is not very attractive. I'm surprised they let her in the gate. Tacky, very tacky . . . but at least her shoulder straps were more than and inch wide.Scroll down in the link until you get to the actress Kimberley Garner, who is wearing a long pink dress and hat.
