In the lead up to the races we were treated to an exclusive cocktail party to celebrate Mercedes Benz Black Opal Stakes and everything the race day has to offer. The event was held at the Mercedes Benz show room which made for a luxurious setting and made us fall in love with the new models on show.
We were lucky enough to be dressed by Mussen boutique who's current collection offers so many options for your next event and of course for Black Opal Stakes on Sunday. This year's Fashions on the Field has some amazing prices on offer and is expected to showcase some of Canberra's most stylish fashionistas.
Canberra Racing Ambassador and Fashions on the Field Judge Kate Speldewinde is excited to be judging again this year for the third year running.
"For Autumn race wear we are expecting to see heavier fabrics such as felt and leather" says Kate.
"Lots of colour and texture and I would love to see classic millenary such as Christine Waring, Sovata, Cynthia Jones-Bryson. And as always following classic racewear guidelines such as over the knee hem, covered shoulders and appropriate necklines". You can find the Canberra racing guidelines on the Thoroughbred Park website.
You can purchase your tickets to the Mercedes Benz Black Opal Stakes via thoroughbredpark.com.au and head into Mussen or visit their website.
