CHEF Issy Bird found the perfect recipe for success to become Redcar's Most Stylish Racegoer of 2025 today.

Issy, who lives in Stokesley and works as a chef at Bettys in Northallerton, said: "I'm in absolute shock!"

She won the first prize of a GG Gucci Marmont Necklace & Earrings from Market Cross Jewellers, plus a shopping experience and £50 gift voucher from Betty Leigh Boutique, and a treatment gift voucher and goody bag from Orange Kerr Hair & Beauty.

Issy now goes on to represent Redcar in the Go Racing In Yorkshire grand final, with an online vote taking place in September to choose between other Ladies' Day winners at Yorkshire tracks.

Hats off also to our Best Hat Winner 2025 - student Faye Harding, who is studying at Middlesbrough College to become a social worker.

She won a bespoke hat from Redcar-based Lynne Young Millinery, a Swarovski Angelic Set from Market Cross Jewellers, a Treatment gift voucher and goody bag from Orange Kerr Hair & Beauty, plus a bouquet.
