“For as long as I can remember we’ve been going to Market Rasen Racecourse.
“My mum and sister ride horses, but I had a bad experience when I was younger, so I stick with taking photographs of them.”
Phillipa’s first job as the Face of Ladies Day will be to take part in a photo shoot at the race meeting this Sunday (April 10), showcasing the fashion sponsor’s clothing.

“Ladies’ days are one of the great success stories of the horse racing industry, helping to boost attendances for the country’s second most popular spectator sport which attracted six million visitors across Britain last year,” said Nadia Gollings, General Manager at Market Rasen Racecourse.
“These occasions at Market Rasen Racecourse are hugely popular so we are delighted to have appointed Phillipa as our ‘Face of Ladies Days’ in 2016. We were overwhelmed by the number of entries and the interest that it has generated.”
