Synopsis

Work, love and life are just one long, hard slog for fish-filleting foursome Pearl, Jan, Shelly and Linda. Friends together through gills, guts and guys, these likely lasses’ fortunes are set to change when Linda finds tickets to Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot at York. Out go the hairnets, overalls and wellies as the four ditch work, do themselves up to the nines and head off for a drink, a flirt and a flutter.

However, they get more than they bargained for at the races when they enter the hard-nosed world of the bookies. If their luck holds they could hit the jackpot and those rich blokes and exotic holidays could be theirs for the taking.

“A sporting romp that’s as much fun as a day at the races and, arguably, better value for money” The Stage

“Exuberantly up-to-the-minute comedy” The Guardian
