YORK driving instructor Sue Coyle was a race day winner before a single horse took to the track today, on the first day of the Ebor meeting.
Sue, of Brandon Grove, York, scooped top prize in our Race Day Competition, run in conjunction with the McArthurGlen designer outlet, to win two VIP tickets for the three-day meeting at York Racecourse and £200 to spend on a suitably stylish outfit at the Naburn shopping complex.
She is pictured modelling her snazzy new look, which she will be wearing on Thursday when she and her partner John Robinson will wine and dine the day away in McArthurGlen's corporate box.
Sue's win could make her the star turn among the traditionally busy Ebor crowd, which could be boosted this year by record advance bookings.
Course spokesman James Brennan said the bookings were up for all three days in all areas of the course.
