Laura Wright Takes Grand National Role

Aintree Racecourse has appointed sporting soprano Laura Wright as an official Ladies Day ambassador for the Crabbie’s Grand National 2016.

As Ladies Day ambassador, the classical singer – who has performed at sporting events including the Rugby World Cup and the Ashes – will be discussing her style secrets with top fashion and lifestyle editors and how to best achieve elegant ensembles at the event at Aintree Racecourse on Friday 8th April 2016.

On the day itself, Laura will participate in the judging panel that will crown the event’s ‘Best Dressed’.

Laura will then introduce the horse race by singing the national anthem on Grand National Day.

Laura Wright commented: “I am so excited to be part of Ladies Day 2016 as the event brings together both my love of sport and my love of fashion. Ladies Day is such a colourful day and it is wonderful seeing so many women really make the effort to look stylish and glamorous.

“Combined with the excitement around the racing itself, it is a really unique event that Liverpool should be very proud of. I am also honoured to be asked to sing the national anthem before the world’s most famous horse race, The Crabbie’s Grand National.”
