Snapshots from Royal Randwick. Myer FOTF at the Queen Elizabeth Stakes

in
Held earlier this year in April, here's a few snaps from the Longines Queen Elizabeth Stakes Day in Sydney. Racing was rained out a week earlier for Day 1 of the Championships and racing postponed until a couple of days later and held on the Monday.The social set however saved their outfits for the following weekend when the weather gods smiled at Royal Randwick.  My day centered around the hotly contested 'Myer Fashions on the Field' competition where I was excited to see what everyone was wearing. The day also included a special Longines award for Elegance. I entered the competition and promptly marched off the stage, not making the cut to the next round. My father Lloyd had better luck making the Men's FOTF final, however missed out on a coveted sash. Enjoy the pics!By Angela Menz

Rosehill Ladies Day Wrap

in
Saturday 28th of September saw Rosehill Racecourse in Sydney come to life for Ladies Day and the running of the Stan Fox Stakes. Also on track at Rosehill was the Style Stakes fashion competition presented by Sunday Style. There was something for everyone with the Emeri Pamper lounge providing free bubbles, make-up touch ups and souvenir photos. For fans of the AFL  there was a big screen set up to watch the grand final.photo 2After a very early start to the day (I flew to Sydney from Melbourne- and yes in full racewear in case you were wondering!) I met up with my dad and hit the track in time for the first race. Then it was time for my favourite part of the afternoon to begin. The Style Stakes. This spring had seen a change in how the competition was run with the usual stage position moved to the front of the grand stand on the public lawn. It was also run and judged differently to other competitions held previously with a very low small stage and a photographer taking each contestants photo as they lined up for their chance to show off their outfit. There were three judges for the day- Editor of Sunday Style, Kerrie McCallum, ATC Ambassador, Sophie Faulknier, and Journalist Briana Domjen

I was sad for the day to come to an end and look forward to another day out at Rosehill soon. A huge thanks to the Australian Turf Club and Sunday Style for another great day out at the races!By Angela Menz
