‘I go most years and it’s one of my favourite days because the quality of the horses is phenomenal…..some of the best in the world with the biggest prizes of the racing year.’
The telly personality later reflected in a second post on how much of a fun day it was.
Carol penned: ‘What a day with so many mates (I forgot to take pics with them all cos I’m rubbish like that!!).
‘And the Qipco Champions Day… one of the best days flat racing in the world.
‘Here with our Betsy. Mindy and laughing all the way with tales we shouldn’t tell.
‘The owner of a horse in the 5th race and I were having a laugh and taking the mick (well he was from Salford so what do you expect) and he said his horse didn’t really have much of a chance cos the going wasn’t soft , which the horse normally likes, so I didn’t put a bet on it.’
Carol went on to share her excitement at her victory, claiming it was ‘marvellous’.
‘It was called Cicero’s Gift and only went and WON the Queen Elizabeth 2 Stakes at 100-1, unheard of and huge congratulations.. absolutely marvellous.’

Her trip to the races comes after she told fans she has been ‘very poorly’ in a new health update – after stepping away from work commitments.
The presenter was forced to quit her LBC radio show last year after she had experienced ‘burnout’ and found herself in hospital.
Carol admitted she had worked herself too hard after working seven days in a row for several weeks repeatedly and made the decision to step back, after getting her own show on the station in 2023.
Now, ahead of hosting the annual Pride of Britain Awards, Carol explained to the Mirror that despite having a ‘hellish year’ she is on the right medication and has her ‘mojo back’.
She told the publication: ‘This year has been a bit hellish health-wise.
‘I’ve been very poorly, not related to the burnout but something entirely different. I’m on the right medications now, but it’s only in the last month or so that I felt I’ve got my mojo back. So watch out, world!’
