Thanks so much for joining us today for a marathon of fashion and racing topped off by an unforgettable finish in the main race.

Robbie Dolan and the connections of Knight’s Choice will never forget this day. Plenty of those who watched on will as well.

A huge thanks to all our photographers, editors, producers and reporters who filled this blog throughout the day.

Please have a lovely evening and please keep checking our pages for more racing coverage tonight and in the days to come.

Bye for now.
