This British weather really does make it feel as though summer is over, however it wasn’t long ago, in fact only a couple of months ago, that we were basking in glorious sunshine and watching the greatest flat race in the world at the Investec Derby Festival.
This year saw 40-1 outsider Wings of Eagles win the 2017 Investec Derby, the longest-odds Derby winner since 50-1 shot Snow Knight won in 1975.
This surprising and exciting result for the 2017 Investec Derby created the perfect end to our guest’s hospitality experience. This thrilling finish was witnessed by our guests from the best seats in the house, with facilities right next to the finish post they were definitely #closertotheaction. Don’t believe us? Here’s just a few shots to see for yourself…

Located on the inside track and next to the finishing line, the Winning Post gave our guests a day to remember. With a private outdoor space, cocktail bar and a stylish toe-dipping pool, it couldn’t get much better.
