WA Country Cups caught up with Ms Napoli to talk about country racing and racing fashion, as well as the upcoming final, here is what she had to say:
1. What do you love about country racing? When you attend a country racing event there is always a great vibe and atmosphere. The racing community is well known and you always happen to meet someone you know.
2. How long have you been going to the races for and what are some of your favourite memories? Personally myself, I have been involved with the racing industry for around eleven years, and have attended many race meets across the state. The best memories for me,is seeing the beautiful horses that I once looked after, doing what they do best and seeing the joy they bring to their owners.
3. Why do you enter Fashions on the Field? The reason behind me entering Fashions on the Field is to get dressed up. Working on the farm each day, with the horses you try and take advantage of these moments. It isalso an opportunity for a good day out filed with fashion.
4. Describe your style. My style whist attending the races is class and elegance, but I will always try to incorporate something a little different into each outfit.
5. What tips do you have for people entering Fashions on the Field? My tips to Fashions on the Field would be to always stay true to your own style whilst you follow traditional race etiquette attire.
6. What are some of your favourite things about the Peel region? The Peel Region is so versatile, from the hills to the coast. And to be only one hour away for the city makes it so convenient.
7. What does it mean to you to be going to ascot to compete in the final? I am so excited to be in the final at Ascot, not only to enjoy the few days of activities but a chance to meet new people. It is a wonderful opportunity to represent my local community and the peel region, with many thanks to the WA country Cups for supplying such sensational prizes.
