WA Country Cups
In March 2016, Racing and Wagering Western Australia, incorporating WA Country Cups and Community TAB, announced an exciting new initiative that will take regional racing fashion to a whole new level.
The WA Country Cups (WACC) Fashions on the Field is a state-wide racing fashion competition, which consists of nine regional heats held at major race meetings across the State.
The WACC Fashions on the Field will be making its way to Carnarvon for the Gascoyne Regional Heat, which will be held at the Carnarvon Race Club’s Ladies Day on Saturday 21 May 2016.
The winner of the heat will receive an invitation to compete in the WA Country Cups Fashions on the Field Final at Ascot Racecourse on Saturday 26 November 2016, where they will compete alongside the other regional finalists for a $25,000 Racing Holiday and Spending Spree in Hong Kong.
“WA has one of the largest country racing precincts in the world, with 35 thoroughbred race clubs spread across the State,” said Executive Manager Racing Marketing and Communications, Charlotte Mills.
“Fashions on the Field has always played a major role in Australian thoroughbred racing and this initiative will shine a light on racing and racing fashion in regional WA. The final at Ascot will also present an opportunity to bring a taste of country racing to the city.”
The $25,000 prize includes a seven night trip to Hong Kong courtesy of Motive Travel, where they will experience two of the most prestigious racing events in the world, the Hong Kong International Jockey’s Championship at Happy Valley and the Hong Kong International Races at Sha Tin.
The winner will also receive $10,000 spending money thanks to TABtouch, as well as vouchers and gifts from Reny Kestel, Only One Ashley and Smales Jewellers.
In addition to the nine nominated regional heats, any winner of a WA regional Fashions on the Field competition, will be able to enter into an online ‘wildcard’ competition. The three entries with the most votes will also be invited to Ascot where one of the top three will be selected to join the other finalists in the Final.
