Fashions On The Field

Fashions On The Field will be back in 2019!

The CC’s Trendz Fashions on the Field is being held at the St George Races on Saturday 20 July 2019.  We have over $3,000 worth of prizes to give away so its the perfect opportunity to dress up & release your inner “show-pony”.

The CC’s Trendz competition uses a judge nominated process. Our judges will be ‘roaming the field’ between 12:30p.m.- 2:30p.m. looking for potential finalists. Finalists will be asked to meet at the stage for marshalling at the nominated time and will be required to parade on stage where the winners will be announced and prizes awarded. The final announcements will occur between the 3rd & 4th races, exact times will be provided to the finalists on the day.

MOST OUTSTANDING HEADWEAR
