It has long been a highlight of the racing calender - and the ladies of Liverpool certainly did n't disappoint with fashion and drunken frolics once again taking centre stage .

Wardrobe malfunctions hit many a low-cut dress and thigh-length frock and some even chose to flash their bottom for photographers , while others struggled to keep their composure on a wooden racehorse .
