Thousands of people donned their best outfits for Ladies’ Day at Perth Racecourse on Thursday.

Up to 7,000 people attended the event – one of the biggest in the city’s social calendar.

While sun was in short supply, revellers enjoyed dry conditions and temperatures in the mid teens as they soaked up live entertainment, competitions and seven races.

Our photographer Steven MacDougall was there to capture some of the best moments.
