Here's a good bet! Elizabeth Banks is a winner in an elegant autumnal outfit at the Breeders' Cup horse races at Santa Anita
|
Elizabeth Banks was among celebrities mingling with the equine stars of the thoroughbred racing world at the Breeders' Cup World Championship at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California, on Saturday.
It was a perfect autumn day for the annual event, and the Hunger Games star celebrated the season in a fitted dress decorated with brown leaves and red flowers that tapered into a pencil skirt that fell just below the knee.
The 39-year-old blonde balanced carefully on black high heels as she watched the races, and chatted to David Krumholtz, best known for his role in TV series Numb3rs.

Actor David Arquette, 42, was in the
stands for the championship that ends the thoroughbred racing season,
sporting a brown trilby, light brown check jacket, white shirt and and
flowery blue and orange tie that matched the daisy in his lapel.
Actress
Bo Derek, best known for her role in the film 10, was at the event in a
professional capacity as well as to enjoy the day - she serves on the
California Horse Racing Board and owns Andalusian horses.

wearing a peach dress and black fascinator hat perched on her blonde
hair, was at the races with her ex-husband Richie Sambora. The two have
become great friends since their divorce in 2007.
The longtime Bon Jovi lead guitarist played the famous Call to the Post on Friday that started the Breeders' Cup and also rocked out in Songs In The Saddle: The Infield Music Fest that entertained racegoers throughout Saturday.
