Once again the Women in Racing Committee have put on a great event. Taking over and filling Silks Restaurant for the day, we were treated to a great day of eating, drinking, and racing.
Starting off with a glass of champagne, we met up with old friends and moved to our tables where we were plied with food and drink until the races started. Then we popped out onto the grandstand to watch each race and then back in for more food and drink.
Also between races, there were various Fashions on the Field competitions on the stage just outside the restaurant, so we also went out to see those. There were competitions for kids, Under 14s, Under 18s, and the Myer Face of Canberra Racing - a sort of Open championship for anyone old enough to drink. Catherine was one of the judges, so sometimes the judges got it right according to the people around me.
After the Fashions on the Field outside, we held the Women in Racing Fashions on the Field inside. I'm sure the girls competing outside were glad that that the Women in Racing competitors stayed indoors for the day.

For those that forgot, or couldn't get outside in time, I've included a slideshow of some of the Thoroughbred Park Fashions on the Field competitors. Click the button to start the slideshow, or click here if you have any problems.
