High winds do not blow out the enthusiasm for the Dundee July 2017

The dry wind that blew yesterday did not blow out the enthusiasm for another bumper Dundee July at the Rural Horse Riding Track.

With eight races, featuring around 200 horses from around the country and Lesotho, the racing itself kept crowds cheering while high-fashion was also at stake.

Celebrities and politicians mingled in the VIP marquees while outside local vendors sold traditional food and crafts.

There was a heavy police presence.  The musical party again went until the early hours of the morning.  Two traffic accidents were reported but it is not clear if there were any injuries.

Updates to follow.
