State-Wide Racing Fashion Stakes Heads to the Kimberley
7 August, 2017
WA Country Cups
Fashionistas will flock to the Kimberley this month, as a state-wide racing fashion competition makes its way to the Broome Turf Club’s Ladies Day on Tuesday 15th August 2017.
The WA Country Cups Fashions on the Field will be heading back to the region for a second year in a row for the running of the 2017 Kimberley Regional Heat, after local girl Melissa Anderson represented the region in last year’s Final.
In a major coup, TABradio contributor and racing aficionado Brittany Taylor will be a guest judge for the event. As the daughter of one of Perth’s leading trainers, Jim Taylor, she is fast becoming an icon for women in racing.
In addition to her racing prowess, Taylor is no stranger to the world of fashion. In 2015, she was a finalist in Miss Universe Australia.
“I am really looking forward to attending the Broome Racing Carnival. Racing fashion is all about elegance. Therefore, I’ll be looking for someone who embodies class as well as originality,” said Taylor.
Perth’s popular Hit92.9 Breakfast Team, Heidi, Will and Woody will also be making the trip up to Broome for the big fashion event and will be bringing three lucky Perth listeners to join in on the action.
TABradio’s Sports Daily, headed by Gareth Hall, Darren McAullay and Steve Butler, will also be broadcasting from Broome over the Carnival. On Tuesday they will be live from the race course and Wednesday from Divers Tavern.
In December 2016, Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA), incorporating WA Country Cups and Community TAB, announced the 2017 WA Country Cups Fashions on the Field with even bigger stakes up for grabs for the Final.
The WA Country Cups Fashions on the Field, open to fashionistas from all over WA, consists of nine regional heats held at major country race meetings across the State, culminating with the Final at Perth Racing to be held on Saturday 2nd December 2017.
The winner of the 2017 WA Country Cups Fashions on the Field Final will take home a trip for two to London with Motive Travel, to attend arguably the most famous racing carnival in the world, Royal Ascot.
Attended by Her Majesty, the Queen of England, not only does Royal Ascot attract some of the world’s finest racehorses such as the likes of Black Caviar, but it is also well known for being a spectacle of fashion and style.
To add to the prize pool the winner will also receive $10,000 spending money thanks to TABtouch, as well as a diamond piece from Leon Baker Jewellers, and a voucher for popular Western Australian handbag and accessory label, Jessica Bratich.
