Royal Ascot is as famous for its fashions as it is for the racing this week, yes its the best flat meeting of the year, best horses, jockeys, trainers and races and this week has been no different but Ascot has and always will, like it or not, be as famous for the clothes worn this week as the racing. The Queen and the royals in attendance everyday, the royal procession. They have fashion shows galore and it one of the main focuses of the week. As you say if you don't like it put ATR. The BBC isn't a specialised racing channel so they appeal to more than just the racing fan and show the two things that make Royal Ascot what it is the royals and fashion.
Don't have a problem with it myself, BBC racing coverage I think is really good, been able to see 5 out of the six races live and they have plenty of coverage on each race.
Fair enough, I don't agree with it whatsoever but OK.
You make a good point about the BBC showing 5 of the 6 races, something that C4 don't do.
