hat with gorillas and trifectas and scratchings and upside-down rides, trackside banter might as well be a foreign language for some. But never fear, this cheat’s guide will help you translate.

ALSO RAN N \ Not in the first three past the post. ASPARAGUS \ A punter with lots of information – more tips than a can of asparagus. BACKED OFF THE MAP \ Plenty of people are betting on this horse. BLACK TYPE \ Bigger, better races, many run during the spring carnival.

(with their gear) after a race. Winning bets are paid after this.

THE VA HE V LLEY \ Flemington, Caulfield and HE VA Moonee Valley respectively.

for instance, a normal front-runner at the back of the field.

DRONGO \ A horse from the 1920s who had 37 starts and won none. His greatest claim to fame is to be part of our spoken history.

HEAVY TRACK \ When there’s been lots of rain. Some horses (known as mudlarks) excel on heavy tracks.

STIPES TIPES \ Stewards. From stipendiary stewards. They make the rules.

EMU \ Someone who picks up discarded tickets in the hope of finding a winner. GELDING / ENTIRE \ Most male racehorses are missing an important part of their anatomy. These are geldings. The ones that have all their bits are entire. GET-OUT STAKES \ The last race of the day and punters’ last chance to win. GORILLA \ $1000

CORRECT WEIGHT \ Winning and place-getting jockeys are weighed again

HEADQUARTERS / THE HEATH /

HOLD ALL TICKETS \ Something a bit suspect has happened. No bets will be paid out until stewards have investigated. LATE MAIL \ Last-minute information and tips. LENGTH \ A measurement of a horse from nose to tail, about 2.4 metres. Used to indicate winning margin. RIDDEN UPSIDE-DOWN \ An interesting mental picture. It describes a horse ridden differently from its usual way –

STRAPPER PPER \ They look after the horses, tack them up and lead them around the mounting yard. QUADRELLA \ The challenge is to pick the winners of four nominated races. QUINELLA (ALSO DUET / EXACTA) \ First and second past the post, in any order. An exacta is getting them in the right order; a duet is any two of the first three. TRIFECTA \ A bet on the first three horses to finish. ●

Model, Instagram star and Myer Fashions on the Field ambassador

You’ll find me … Flemington’s newest place to be seen is The Park. It’s got everything my friends and I love – fashion, entertainment, food and racing on the big screens. Top tip for staying fresh and stylish It’s important to stay hydrated and to be comfortable. It’s a long day so choosing the right heel can make all the difference. Block heels are “in” and they’re great for the track.

Nadia wears: Rachel Gilbert lace dress in mauve. In store in October.

Key racewear trend The key trends this season are feminine and floaty, so it’s a great chance to wear a pretty dress and a cute boater-style hat. But it’s all about dressing in something you feel comfortable and confident in.

(SCOTT McNAUGHTON)

Favourite race day This year Crown Oaks Day will be a highlight because I’m on the judging panel for the Myer Fashions on the Field national final. I also have a fondness for Emirates Stakes Day. It’s the last day of the carnival so everyone relaxes and has fun. We all want to hold on to the fun of the Melbourne Cup Carnival for as long as possible.

NADIA BARTEL

Fashion blogger and BMW Caulfield Cup Carnival style ambassador Favourite race day I just love the Caulfield Cup; it’s one of the first race days of the season. People are relaxed and there to have fun and to embrace the racing and fashion. It’s a great time to catch up with friends.

How do you put your outfit together? I plan my outfits well ahead of time. Special race-day memory Sofitel Girls’ Day Out was pretty special this year. It was my first race day since being Myer Fashions on the Field ambassador.

You’ll find me … I’ll spend a lot of time in the David Jones Fashion Stable because they’ve got Chandon and a roving fashion illustrator, and it’s only five metres from the track.

Stephanie wears: Asilio dress, Lisa Tan hat, Kenzo scarf and Paula Cademartori heels, all available at Myer.

MORE STYLE TIPS ONLINE JENNIFER HAWKINS, JESSICA GOMES & JESINTA CAMPBELL

JASON DUNDAS Television presenter and David Jones ambassador

Favourite race day I love Caulfield Cup. I’ve been hosting the David Jones marquee there for four years.

Top tip for staying fresh and stylish A man in a nice-fitting suit will always look respectable, no matter how long a day he has had.

You’ll find me … As a former racehorse owner, for me it’s about getting trackside and feeling the power of the animals as they race by.

Special race-day memory I loved being able to DJ in the marquee with Jessica Gomes and Jesinta Campbell. At around 4pm most people are relaxing and ready to dance.

How do you put your outfit together? The hardest part for me is deciding what to wear. I generally do a fitting a couple of days before and I like to take along a few ties and pocket squares on the morning of the races so I can choose.

How do you pick a winner? I have been best mates with Tom Waterhouse for over 10 years so I always call him for some last-minute tips. Or I simply choose the name I like – that hasn’t worked yet but it is fun. ●

(KYLIE THOMSON)

How do you pick a winner? After getting some expert tips from my uncle and dad, I watch the horses in the mounting yard to see what they look like and then I place a last-minute bet. ●

HOW TO DO THE RACES IN STYLE

FASHION

STEPHANIE SMITH

I’ll be wearing … This season there’s a big ’70s influence so I’ve looked for sleeve details and ruching. I like outfits that are tailored and not too short or sparkly. I wear my shapewear to hold everything in – especially after having a baby. I like colour – you can have fun with race wear and I love a bit of print, too. Top tip for staying fresh and stylish It’s all about what you keep in your handbag. I carry Party Feet and slip them in my shoes in the afternoon when my feet get sore. I also carry eye drops. How do you put your outfit together? I start looking online and see what is on the runways a few weeks before Caulfield. Special race-day memory Last year I was heavily pregnant and I spent the day at Caulfield in a marquee with my friends. We had a great day and it was exciting because I knew I would soon have a baby. But I did sit down a lot that year. How do you pick a winner? Sometimes I listen to my husband, Jimmy, but once I’m at the track I pick names and numbers that I like. I like the number three and quirky names. It’s probably not the best way to go, but I’ve had a few wins! ● SARAH MARINOS OCTOBER 12, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 9

GAI TIME PETER WIlMOTH MEETS THE QUEEN OF SPRING RACING 10 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ OCTOBER 12, 2016

On the cusp of Melbourne’s Spring Carnival, racing fever has hit Sydney. I’ve flown up to meet Australia’s most recognisable trainer, Gai Waterhouse, at a restaurant where she’s the guest of honour at a Carnival-themed lunch.

ut before I meet Gai I’m standing in the restaurant’s large front garden. Women and a handful of men in racing finery (the women in striking racewear, the men in crisp white shirts and the occasional discreet lower-arm tattoo) are enjoying pre-lunch drinks while two miniature ponies are encouraged by their handlers to jump over poles held just above the ground, an amusing if just faintly wrong sight. Inside it’s glamour central. I sit at a table with Sunrise presenter Samantha Armytage and veteran actor Roy Billing. After doing a Q&A, Gai, 62, bounds out of the restaurant, stopping for photos and chatting with guests, smiling that famous megawatt smile, paying focused attention to everyone she meets, a whirling dervish on a charm offensive, but no one doubts she’s genuinely interested. Now Bart Cummings has left us, there is no better “face” of the Spring Racing Carnival. Gai directs me to her car and her driver Damien waiting outside. She moves at breakneck speed, organising on the fly, things happening around her because she says so. It’s the modus operandi of someone used to guiding people – owners, jockeys, stable staff – and, of course, horses. “You know Batman and Robin?” Gai says as she spills into the back of the BMW to sit next to me. “That’s us!” She’s referring to Damien. Her dog is in the back seat. “He travels everywhere with us.” I’m privileged to join this tight-knit trifecta for a drive across Sydney. Gai reaches for a box and opens it to show me a small amethyst piece in the shape of the Melbourne Cup, a gift from her husband Robbie Waterhouse. “Isn’t it beautiful?” It’s a tender moment. Since we’re talking superheroes, Gai is the Wonder Woman of the track, having trained more than 100 group1 winners, including 2013’s Melbourne Cup champion, Fiorente. “It’s my life,” she says. “It’s something I’ve been born and bred to do. It’s my business, it’s my passion, it’s my husband’s passion, our son’s passion, my daughter is involved in fashion, which can be related to the racing industry. We talk it and think it 24/7.” We’re on the eve of Gai’s favourite time of the year – Melbourne’s racing carnival. “I adore racing in Melbourne,” she says. “I’m lucky the VRC [Victoria Racing Club] allows me to have stables at Flemington. I have 20 boxes and yards there. I think it’s the best track in the world.” She has enjoyed the ultimate victory. “Unbelievable,” she says. “You don’t realise until you spend a lot of time in Melbourne that it literally is the pinnacle of your sporting career, winning the Cup. Everyone thinks it, breathes it and talks it … Everyone talks about having a Cup runner. How do we get it? How do we buy it? How can we be in it? Are you nominating our horse for the Cup? “And then the closer to the Cup, the more the crescendo builds. You can imagine that all your life you’ve done it, been there and watched people, other trainers and my father [trainer Tommy Smith], who won two Cups and he was second and third in many others, and you realise how much it plays on people’s imaginations.” Would not winning a Cup have been a career disappointment? “When you win it you’d say, ‘Yes’,” she says. “Until you’ve won it, you’d say, ‘Oh well, it just didn’t happen’. May I say that the average trainer in Australia and the average visiting trainer never trains a Melbourne Cup winner … You’ve got to have the trifecta. You’ve got to have the right people to buy the horse, you’ve got to have the right horse, and things have got to go your way. It’s the timing, it’s the field we’re up against, it’s the jockey you choose. Did

PICTURE \ NIC WALKER

Michelle Payne pull the right rein going where she was? Well yes, she did, because she won the Cup. Did Damien Oliver when he rode my horse Fiorente? Yes he did, because he was on the right pace at the right time and when they moved up he was able to get that momentum and had a bit of space … it’s really exciting.” She talks about the acute perceptiveness needed to be a good trainer. “I’ve trained my eyes to notice things. I notice people, the way they move, the way they touch their face, their clothes, the way they pull a face, their eyes might move to the side. Tells me things about them. Well, horses are the same. When they come out to the middle, [co-trainer] Adrian Bott and I are standing there and I’ll quite often say, ‘Adrian, that horse has lightened off’, or ‘That horse has got too fat’. That helps us train the horses. “There’s a lot of psychology involved. You’ve got to understand them … Adrian and I are football coaches and our team is four-legged. Plus the jockey. We’ve got the double whammy – we’ve got a human being involved with an animal. We have to make sure we’re keeping the jockey happy and motivated and thinking forward and we must make sure the horse is hunky-dory on the day.” She has fond memories of her father. “Dad was the ace card. They broke the mould. There’ll never be another

“I’ve trained my eyes to notice things. I notice people, the way they move … tells me things about them” dad. I have taken a lot of what dad taught me; I’d be mad if I didn’t. I suppose I’m very patient with horses. He said to me once, when I won with Pharaoh in the Doncaster [1994], ‘I couldn’t have got him to do that. You’re very patient. I wouldn’t have been that patient with him.’ I’m always thinking, how can I get that horse to win a race, to get it to lift to the next grade?” I ask about her earliest memory of loving horses. “I just loved being around my dad. I loved going to the track, it was really fun.”

hen Gai was a girl, Tommy would take her to Centennial Park to look for duck eggs. “Of course they never existed. They were in dad’s pocket. He’d hide them. Until one day I banged up against the side of his pants and he had squashed egg in his pocket.” On Fridays, Tommy would take Gai to the Sydney Markets to meet clients and punters. “I’d go down there and look at all the little ducks and chickens. I’d invariably come home with something mum would reel in horror about.” In that category were a dozen newborn chicks. “We went off to Queensland for the school holidays and dad was in charge of the baby chicks,” Gai says. “He threw a jumper on them to keep them warm and suffocated them all.” Gai was a competent rider who would later do trackwork for her father. Once she had a nasty accident. “We had a property near Hay. The horse took off on me and I came off it and crashed my head to the ground.” Wearing a helmet? Her voice drops. “No one wore helmets in those days.” The fall has affected her hearing.

Racing has always been a family affair. Husband Robbie is a former bookmaker who made headlines for his involvement in the 1984 Fine Cotton horse-swapping scandal. Robbie was sentenced to eight months of weekend detention for perjury and banned from racetracks for his involvement, but all restrictions were removed in 2001. Son Tom Waterhouse was also seldom out of the spotlight as the seemingly omnipresent face of his eponymous betting website, which he sold to gaming giant William Hill in 2013 for $34 million. “He had to be public because you had to try and compete with the other betting firms. He’s a natural betting man. He loves all aspects of betting and gambling … He’s very good at what he does, he’s exceedingly passionate about it. He lives a corporate life.” I ask Gai about her famous 2013 run-in with long-time friend and horse breeder John Singleton, for whom she has trained for many years. Their relationship hit the headlines when the advertising mogul publicly “sacked” Gai (he later changed his mind). Singo claimed Tom Waterhouse had told acquaintances his horse, More Joyous, was not fit enough to win the All Aged Stakes, but hadn’t informed him of this. The next morning he removed all the horses he owned in Gai’s stable, Tulloch Lodge. (Tom Waterhouse was later cleared of any wrongdoing). Gai called it “a lovers’ tiff” and Singo called it “a domestic tiff across 23 front pages”. “People can do silly things,” Gai says. “John today is probably very different from John of three years ago. In the heat of the moment he said things he has very many times apologised for. I’m a great believer in ‘life moves on’.” Friends still? “Oh yes, very much so. I train for him. He’s a great breeder. He’s always someone who if you rang and said, ‘Look, I need help with such and such’, he’d help you.” In her early 20s Gai moved to London to model and act in theatre and television. She modelled a clothing range for a London firm and “took the range to Copenhagen for them”. She appeared in the British TV series Dr Who with long-time lead Tom Baker, worked with acting stalwart Trevor Howard “in a very boring play”, and with Patrick Cargill, known in Australia for TV’s Father, Dear Father Father. “I think it was one of the best things that ever happened to me,” she says of acting. “It gave me enormous self-confidence I wouldn’t have had if I hadn’t gone and lived overseas to go and catch and kill, get the parts. It helped me project myself.” Acting came from her mother’s side. “My mother loved singing and she auditioned for the opera in Australia and ran second to Dame Joan Sutherland. Dad was at the eisteddfod and said, ‘Darling, I don’t think you’ll be winning that one. You’ve just come up against a group1 performer’.” On her return to Australia, Gai decided horses were her greatest passion. She began clocking the horses for her father and in 1994 took over training at his stables. It’s nearly time for Damien to drop me off. It strikes me that Gai has employed skills learnt from the world of acting – notably perceptiveness and not taking loss personally – to great advantage in racing. I put to her a quote from her husband Robbie that Gai is the most observant person he’s ever met. “Well you’ve got to be,” she says. “See, I’m dealing with animals, dealing with creatures of flight, and you’ve got to be very quick to see the change in them.” A pause. And maybe a nod to her rivals and the industry she loves. “But there are lots of observant people in racing.” ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au » gaiwaterhouse.com.au

Women with heart-shaped faces should try slanting their hat to one side to slim the face and draw attention to the eyes, while oblong faces should avoid tall pieces advises Brett Morley. “Think clean, sharp lines instead,” he says. “A full brim will look great and will bring balance to your shoulder line too.” Sarah Clancy says hats with plenty of height work wonders for round and elongated faces. She says those with an oval face can opt for almost any type of millinery, while floppy hats work for rounder shapes and wider brims suit women with a square jawline. ●

If you have a bright dress, don’t approach millinery with the same intent; accentuate rather than exaggerate your look. Ann says the key is balance and proportion. “We can break and bend rules to create new looks. An example is the cult boater – it goes with anything, from sharp suits to floating dresses,” she says. Danica wants you to think about structured style – a fedora with a pantsuit, crowns with full skirts or a fit-and-flare style dress. “Your outfit should not have to compete with your headwear,” she says. “Try picking out the least dominant colour in your outfit, then exaggerate that colour up top. Never look for an exact match, as you will look too contrived.” Christine says the key is balancing the propotions of your outfit with the shape of your hat. “If you have a long skirt with volume and a slim fitted top, then you can proportion it with a grand Cecil Beaton-style hat.” ● JANE ROCCA

MEET THE UNSUNG HEROINE OF LAST YEAR’S CUP WIN

FORM

t was one of the all-time great moments in Australian sport. Here was Michelle Payne, the first woman to win a Melbourne Cup, and she’d done it riding a 100-1 chance, Prince of Penzance. By her side was her brother Stevie, born with Down syndrome, sharing the glory as the strapper. Their mother had died in a car accident when Michelle was an infant and the jockey herself had cheated death, surviving a fractured skull while riding as an apprentice. Now they were making history together. Fairytales seldom come better than this. But like so many fairy stories, there was more to it than met the eye. Standing a few metres from the cameras was Prince of Penzance’s “other strapper”, a young woman whose bond with the horse was this tale’s secret ingredient. Typically, Maddie Raymond was more than happy to let others take the limelight. Rewind to first light a couple of mornings before Cup Day 2015, and arguably the most critical player in the tale of the 100-1 shot beating the world’s best was savouring the moment. Having ridden the gelding with the stable name of Success almost every day, tacking him up and leading him around the mounting yard, she had never felt a horse so fit and ready to go. “I’m not a crier but I knew it was my last ride on him before the Cup,” Maddie says. “I always go off on my own with him. He just settles on his own, just me and him. I cantered up the beach, first light coming

through the pitch black, and I was nearly crying. I was just so excited.” Maddie and stable foreman Jarrod McLean oversee trainer Darren Weir’s Warrnambool operation, where beach work is preferred to track training. Thirty staff fuss over 80 thoroughbreds from 3.30 each morning. On race days, heads don’t hit pillows until after 10pm. It’s a labour of love, one Maddie would happily undertake even if the horse in box 81 was the only animal in the yard. Another stable hand looked after Penzance when he first arrived. Maddie remembers an immature horse who was “a real handful, full of himself … really keen on the bit, jumping about the whole time, spooking at things”. But after a six-month stint working in Ireland, Maddie came home last February to a different horse. “He came back into work and I started riding him pretty much every day, just clicked with him. He started settling really well and I fell for him head over heels.” Here was the bond she yearned for when she asked her parents for a pony, only to be given budgies on her 13th birthday. “The budgies were never a go,” she says with a

laugh. The next year they caved. Maddie still has Sky – 13 now and in foal for a second time – at the farm she rents from her folks. At 23, she organises trucks, riders, staff and the running of one of racing’s most successful operations. Her devotion to Success, then and now, prompts ribbing from her mates, who see her rare days off invariably broken by visits to check anything from his feed to his feet. On the big day she drove the float to Flemington with four girlfriends and backed her horse each way, even though she doesn’t bet. Time rushed by and suddenly Darren Weir was telling her to put on the strapper’s

bib and saddle him up. “All the girls said to me, ‘Put the bib on, grab the bib!’ But I couldn’t, it didn’t feel right. I gave it to Stevie. He was a bit funny about it but I said, ‘No, it’s the right thing.’ I was there with the horse anyway, I knew what work I’d done. “Stevie had picked barrier one at the draw, he was the lucky charm.” Maddie found a spot in the mounting yard and, when the field thundered past, Prince of Penzance had his ears back and was flying. “Everyone’s screaming and yelling and jumping around and cheering him home, and I just stood there. I froze. I didn’t jump, I didn’t scream, I didn’t make a sound. I just stood there and trembled.” When people tell her she gave up the limelight, she laughs. “If Stevie wasn’t part of it, people wouldn’t know who I was. But they say, ‘There’s that lovely girl who let Stevie do it!’” She’s honoured to be a woman who played her part in a landmark moment, and she still shakes her head in awe at Michelle’s post-race comments about sexism. “How she handled it, how she came in from that race and said what she said, so relaxed, I will never understand. I couldn’t even talk.” When Maddie rides Success now, she feels that winning has made him more of a pro. She rates him stronger than last year. “I’d love to be there again. Whether he runs 10 lengths last, or even if he doesn’t get there, it doesn’t matter. Because he doesn’t owe anyone anything.” ● PETER HANLON

The Park will be in the space previously used by premium, ticketed area The Precinct, which has moved to the front lawn, in the spot vacated by Myer Fashions on the Field. Huxtaburger owner Daniel Wilson says The Park will be “a pretty nice area to hang out in”. His pop-up eatery will serve four of its famous burgers, chips, chicken tenders and onion rings. “We want people to experience our food exactly the way they would if they came to our stores.” Meanwhile Biggie Smalls’ Shane Delia has put out a challenge, saying his kebabs “taste better than the best burger you’ve ever eaten”. “We are going to give people the flavours they want at one of the best events in the country,” he says. There’ll be plenty of Instagram moments, too, as patrons check out Doughnut Time’s 1950s caravan, join the singing, dancing bearded crew from Sydney’s Knafeh Bakery, or try champagne soft-serve at the retro Messina Mobile. At about half the size of the MCG, The Park will sport a custom-built stage for live bands and four bar areas. Anyone who takes a ride on the Ferris wheel will be treated to stunning views of the track and the nearby Maribyrnong River. Numbers in The Park will be capped at 3000 at any given time, but up to 10,000 guests are expected to enjoy it during each day. ● LEANNE TOLRA

BEYOND THE MARQUEES AT FLEMINGTON

FUN

hampagne, canopies, celebrities and head-turning fashions: an invitation to a marquee inside Flemington’s Birdcage has long been one of the hottest tickets in town. But while A-listers are feted and enticed to grace the VIP enclosuress, and less fabulous somebodies scheme and beg to get in, the rest of us have been left out in the cold. Until now. This year, the Victoria Racing Club is introducing an open-access fashion, food and fun precinct, The Park, to give general-admission racegoers a “marquee-like” experience. Covering 10,000 square metres of hallowed ground behind the Flemington grandstands, the free-admission fashion and entertainment area will feature food from some of Melbourne’s best-loved eateries as well as Myer Fashions on the Field, the L’Oreal Paris Powder Room, public marquees, al fresco drinking and dining areas, a DJ playing throughout the day, bands, a vintage carousel and Ferris wheel. Victoria Racing Club has its eye sharply on the 18-35 age group – the crowd one day destined for its premium ticketed events perhaps – and has included top sponsors such as James Boag Premium, Tabcorp, Yellowglen and Lavazza in the Park’s offerings. The VRC says the racing carnival attracts more than 315,000 racegoers to Flemington each year and injects more than $400 million into the Victorian economy. Last year it attracted nearly 64,000 visitors to the state, a 9.3 per cent rise on 2014. But VRC executive general manager of

t’s not officially the first group 1 race of the Spring Racing Carnival (that honour goes to the Memsie Stakes) but for the food, fun and fashion-conscious racegoer, the BMW Caulfield Cup (October 15 this year) is when the party really gets started. This year it promises to be bigger, better and more fun then ever, thanks to a host of new fine-food choices from Melbourne’s top restaurateurs, a great music line-up and a swish new $500,000 fashion precinct, The David Jones Fashion Stable – not to mention some of the best group 1 races of the season. ●

“It will be dark, moody and sexy, with water and stone features,” he says. Caulfield has boosted its food offerings with the arrival of The European’s Ian Curley as executive chef at its Black Caviar restaurant in 2013, and last year adding hotel professional Julian Robertshaw as executive chef of Promenade, also in the grandstand. Julian has sourced winning ingredients, including premium Glacier 51 toothfish and Fraser island spanner crab for the Caulfield Cup menu. “The toothfish will be served with red miso, oyster mushrooms, braised daikon and lobster,” he says. The fine food extends beyond the VIP areas this season, thanks to an array of top restaurants catering in pop-up form to general admission punters across the track. “We believe that everyone deserves a premium experience when they come to

Caulfield,” says the Melbourne Racing Club’s chief commercial officer, Peta Webster. “We are trying to open up the idea of racing to a wider audience. You shouldn’t have to choose between watching the races and enjoying great food, entertainment or fashion. So we have brought all of these elements together, trackside.” The line-up includes Mistress Estelle, Mamasita, Red Door Yum Cha, and Mr Miyagi, which will be serving its famous Nori Tacos. As for drinks, MRC beverage manager Dan Schwarze is creating cocktails in the Moet & Chandon marquee, and at Black Caviar, Promenade and in the Little Melbourne Bar in the grandstand area. General admission guests can enjoy premium drinks in the Chandon Rose Bar and the Golden Ale Bar. ●

Fashion gets a revamp at Caulfield this year, with plenty of style action both trackside and digitally. Roving fashion illustrators on hand to capture your racewear look are just one of the highlights at the premium 1000-square-metre David Jones Fashion Stable, which aims to bring an all-inclusive party atmosphere to the occasion. Situated just five metres from the track and open to all racegoers, the marquee will include a Chandon Rose Bar, a premium wine bar – and a chance to mingle with the likes of BMW Caulfield Cup Carnival style ambassador Nadia Bartel. On BMW Caulfield Cup Day, two runway shows will feature cutting-edge labels such as Romance Was Born, Manning Cartell, Carla Zampatti, Camilla & Marc and Ellery. But the star attraction will be the Westfield Style Stakes – Fashions on

the Field transformed for the modern-day fashionista and propelled onto an exciting digital platform. Racegoers aged 18 or over can enjoy a professional photo shoot experience, complete with a Glam Squad of hair and make-up artists and photographers. They can then use the editing suite to select three favourite images to enter into the Style Stakes digitally – and upload the images into their own social media. There’s even a new category for the shy: squads (groups of two to eight). “We wanted to bring the fashion and racing concept into the 21st century,” says Peta Webster. “Fashion these days is a two-way conversation. People want to participate and share, and so much of that is done via social media so we knew we needed to enhance our approach to fashions this year.” ● LEANNE TOLRA ROMANCE WAS BORN \ SPRING SUMMER 2016

et’s Elope could often be seen wiling away the hours lying under her favourite river red gum at Lauriston Park, Creightons Creek, near Euroa. For the matriarch, winner of the 1991 Melbourne Cup, the giant tree gave her protection from the wind and shade from the sun. She lay down under her tree for the last time on September 12. She was 29, which is a grand age for any horse, let alone a racetrack warrior and long-time brood mare. In the tradition of warrior horses, she was buried standing, facing the rising sun. As a brood mare she did her job, producing the 2014 Adelaide Cup winner Outback Joe, but in her latter years she was a nanny to the young fillies being raised by Chris and Kathy Bakker at Lauriston Park. She died less than 24 hours after the race named in her honour – the Let’s Elope Stakes – was run at Flemington and won by the mare Don’t Doubt Mamma. Let’s Elope was trained by the legendary Bart Cummings, who died in August 2015. Bart rated the mare right up with the best he trained, although his first Melbourne Cup winner, Light Fingers, was always his favourite mare. Before her death, Let’s Elope was the oldest living Melbourne Cup winner. She has passed that “torch” to one of racing’s wonderful equine characters, Subzero, now 28, who won the Cup in 1992 and is still active as an ambassador to the racing industry.

SUBZERO

Subzero, more white than grey, lives the life of Riley at owner Graham Salisbury’s Heathcote farm. Graham “bought” Subzero in June 1994 after the gelding was retired by his group of owners and trainer Lee Freedman. He paid a token $1 for the horse and retrained the handsome grey to become an outstanding Clerk of the Course pony at Melbourne’s racetracks. Such was the gentle nature and intelligence of Subzero, he quickly became a favourite of the public and it wasn’t long before his new owner had the old horse doing tricks. He was so popular, Dubai’s

ruler, horse-loving Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, flew the horse and Graham to the World Cup race meeting at Nad Al Sheba in Dubai in 2000. It’s Subzero’s ability to interact with children, particularly the ill or handicapped, that amazes Graham. “It’s like he’s got an instinct to be extra gentle,” he says. There are 16 living Melbourne Cup winners; the past two, last year’s winner Prince of Penzance and the German stayer Protectionist, are still racing. The five winners from 2009 to 2013 are stallions at stud, which is something of a recent phenomenon, as the quality of the race improves due to the influx of international horses. You have to go back to the 1920s to find a similar period when Cup winners were sought-after as stallions. Most winners since, apart from the odd exception, have been geldings and mares.

JANE HONE LASHES OUT …

We try

EYELASH LIFT

The promise A lift and tint to lengthen my lashes and widen my eyes so I can go to the races, channel Beyonce and say, “I woke up like this”.

The pay-off For someone with long yet fair lashes, this treatment makes a huge difference. I look as if I’m wearing mascara and the results should last eight weeks.

The reality My last experience with lifting lashes was those scary-looking curling contraptions in the ’90s. Lash technology has come a long way since then. While lash perms have been around for a while, the lash lift (lashes are lifted from the root and extended rather than curled) is a recent advancement. I lie down while my therapist, Sam, gets to work taping down my bottom lashes and then applying a special adhesive to my top lashes, which she then brushes onto a silicone pad using a tiny lash comb (it feels oddly nice to have your lashes brushed). While the perming solution is doing its thing, Sam gives me a 10-minute scalp massage. She repeats the process with the setting solution, which means another massage, followed by a nourishing oil to get rid of the adhesive. The last step is the tint.

The pain factor I felt some slight stinging during the lash tint, but apart from that I felt supremely relaxed. Who should do it? People with straight lashes would especially benefit, although the lift will really make a difference to any kind of lashes. It would be a great treatment to do at the start of the Spring Racing Carnival or summer holiday season.

(ISTOCK)

The bill It’s $99 for the lot.

WOULD I DO IT AGAIN?

I can already see myself heading back for a top-up in a couple of months. ●

Fashion in colours and shapes to suit any woman for any occasion.

Who’s behind the counter? Guided by intuition and decades of experience, Lana Berg knows how to style a woman, whether it be for Spring Racing Carnival or any other occasion. “I create fabulous outfits on women that show off their best assets and work with their colouring,” Lana says. “This is how I’ve become successful. Just by looking at someone, I know what will look great on them.” Lana opened her own boutique in 2003 after 10 years of working as a stylist. What’s in store? “I like a few different fashion eras, especially the 1950s and ’60s,” says Lana. “And I like sexy. I choose my garments with a sexy, feminine, classy, chic look.” Lana stocks local and overseas labels such as Mela Purdie from Australia, New Zealand’s Loobie’s Story and Caroline Sills, Aldo Martins and Desigual from Spain, and Hale Bob from the US – to name a few. There’s clothing, shoes and accessories, including hats and fascinators, for any occasion, with a focus on fun and colour. “We like to keep up with what’s going on, but still get mileage out of our clothes,” Lana says.

Who’s buying? Women flock from all over Melbourne as well as from regional areas and interstate. Lana also finds her store a popular stop for partners, family members and work colleagues looking for a pretty and unique gift. ● JANE HONE

special promotion

26 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ OCTOBER 12, 2016

(SUPPLIED)

hadstone, Australia’s fashion capital, this week unveils the completion of the first and most significant phase of its $660million development project. With Chadstone a long-established international leader and trend setter in fashion retail, it should come as no surprise that its latest development represents another ground-breaking design first for Australia. Its new development centres on a soaring 31-metre-high atrium and is sheltered by a spectacularly curved 1000-tonne glass gridshell roof, the first of its kind in Australia. The transparent roof floods the centre with natural light and provides Chadstone customers with column-free shopping, thanks to an innovative design by global leaders in design and engineering. Chadstone co-owners Vicinity Centres and Gandel Group have been building the centre’s latest precinct over the past two years, with a focus on opening up new horizons in retail, dining and entertainment experiences for Chadstone’s local and international shoppers. Set to open on Thursday, October 13, the first phase features international flagship stores, more than 60 new retail shops, a dining terrace and a state-of-the-art Hoyts cinema complex. Chadstone attracts about 20 million Australian and international visitors annually and when the project is completed in mid-2017 they will have the choice of nearly 600 retailers, with the convenience of the centre’s already completed 10,000 car parks and 14-bay centralised bus interchange. Vicinity Centres CEO and managing director Angus McNaughton says the world-class architecture at Chadstone reflects the essence of leading flagship fashion retail and iconic developments from around the globe to create a fresh customer experience based on the best of international design. “From London to Germany, then the Czech Republic to Australia, the impressive design and development of Australia’s first glass gridshell roof represents the innovation and collaboration of some of the best architects and engineers from around the world,” he says. Angus says the project aims to evolve Chadstone and take it beyond being the best in fashion and general retail to offer the best customer experience across shopping, entertainment and dining. “We have designed and delivered a perfect showcase for the premium customer experience we offer at Chadstone. This is one of the largest milestones in Chadstone’s history and reinforces its position as Australia’s number one shopping destination.” ● LIZ McLACHLAN lmclachlan@theweeklyreview.com.au

NEW DINING PRECINCTS

NEW STORES

Chadstone will introduce two new dining precincts – a dining terrace and 1300-seat food gallery. The new dining terrace takes its inspiration from around the world and showcases seven new restaurants with wide appeal, some of which will be opening branches in a shopping centre or outside of Melbourne or Sydney’s CBD for the first time. These restaurants include the Burger Project by Neil Perry, Woodstock Pizzicheria, Marae Izakaya and Mexican street food favourite Fonda. There will be more than 20 outlets in the food gallery, offering local and international flavours. ●

More than 60 new retail stores open this week in the first phase of Chadstone’s redevelopment. They include two-level stores for international fashion giants Uniqlo and H&M, along with flagship retailer Sephora and Tesla Motors’ first integrated Melbourne retail dealership. At completion in mid-2017, the development will feature more than 100 new retailers, including international luxury designer stores such as Valentino, Celine and Loewe, premium international stores including the Kooples, Reiss and Michael Kors, and Australia’s first Legoland Discovery Centre. ●

Australia’s first glass gridshell roof covers more than 7000 square metres and free-spans up to 42 metres over Chadstone’s new precinct. Based on a lattice framework, the roof derives its strength from its double curvature. Meticulously designed, planned and executed in Australia and overseas, the roof includes 2700 glass panels of varying shapes and sizes all seamlessly mapped to complete the structure. Each panel was made and coated in Germany then individually installed. ●

HOW TO FIND A SUIT TO SUIT ON ANY BUDGET

FASHION

an you move your body left,” Michael says from behind his camera. I awkwardly sway to the left. “No, like this, like this.” Michael has about 50 years of photography experience, a stark contrast to my 50-second modelling track record. But that’s not why we’re at Chadstone – the fashion capital. We’re here to find out how to put together a head-turning spring racing outfit – no matter what the budget. Chadstone personal stylist Anika Walker is preparing for a swell of new visitors when the centre reveals the most significant phase of its $660-million expansion on October 13, including more than 60 new shops, but she’s taken time out to help me with my mission. First up, we head high-end with a luxe look, courtesy of MJ Bale. Anika lays out a blue double-breasted suit. The price tag says $1295 and I can feel the quality. She pairs it with a tie and shirt. I’ve seen double-breasted suits popping up in the fashion pages, so I know we’re on the money here – literally and figuratively. “For the guy that wants to be at the forefront of fashion and be really on trend, double-breasted suits are the way to go,” Anika says. “The wow factor here is the fact that it is double-breasted so I’ve pulled everything else back, letting the tones just complement each other without taking focus.” The suit may be the hero but the Aquila loafers certainly play Robin to their Batman. I don’t mind saying it’s the first time I’ve worn $539 shoes. “Looks good, Tim, looks really nice,” Michael says. I immediately suspect his motives but I feel I’m in good hands with Anika – the styling service is the ideal spring-racing preparation for those seeking an on-point look or those who just don’t want to hit the shops in search of it. But back to the shoes. Anika says it’s the one area of a bloke’s spring racing wardrobe you can’t afford to skimp on. “A leather shoe is important. If you do wear a man-made material, your feet can get sweaty and uncomfortable. So regardless of how much money you have to spend on your suit, always invest in comfortable shoes.” For the ‘less’ outfit, Anika takes me to something at the other end of the price spectrum, Zara. It’s just one of many popular names

Chadstone boasts, including luxury designers such as Valentino, Celine and Loewe, premium international stores including The Kooples, Reiss and Michael Kors, and flagship stores such as Sephora, H&M and Uniqlo. I slide into my Zara outfit. Zara sunglasses, a Peter Jackson feather pin and Peter Jackson shoes round out the look. It’s a “modern feel, embracing a really light tone”, Anika tells me. “I think as soon as we come out of winter, it’s nice to get rid of the dark colours. “I’ve picked up on that tone with a bit of chocolate there [in the tie] and again just tying it back with a nice tan shoe.”

Again, Michael tells me I look good and at this point I’m starting to believe him. But it leaves us with the million-dollar question: can you really get the right look on any budget? I’ll let Anika have the last word. After all, she’s the professional with more than five years of experience in helping Chadstone shoppers find the right look to suit their body and budget. “As long as you’ve got the fit right, no one really needs to know how much you’ve paid for it. “Accessorising will take it a long way too. “Oh, and don’t skimp on the shoes.” ● TIM DOUTRE

hile much of it is snow-white, this period residence is no sleeper. Renovated and extended, the Edwardian house shines with original and modernised pride that challenges contemporary counterparts for space, natural light and designer pizzazz. Consistency is a key player in the exceptional interior. Bright white walls and ceilings feature in all spaces bar the lounge, which offers a contrast with its walls of licorice black. There are dark-stained timber floors underfoot throughout, except in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. They have Calacatta Crema marble. Natural light is another winning component. Bay windows in the main bedroom and lounge amplify light in these spaces, and there’s clerestory glazing on three sides of the high ceiling over dining and family areas. Fixtures, fittings and stylish extras also play their parts. You’ll find bookshelves in the lounge and the family area; an Ilve oven, Miele dishwasher and Perrin & Rowe tapware in the kitchen; a hidden ironing board in the laundry; and a sound system indoors and out. Zoned heating and cooling keep things temperate,

and there are automatic blinds on the north-facing rear. The sense of order kicks in at first sight, with the neat front garden bordering a terrazzo driveway that can accommodate three cars. A rendered gable crowns the weatherboard facade, and entry is via a decked porch. Pressed-metal dado panels and a candelabrum ensure the huge foyer makes for a regal reception. Double doors here open to the lounge, where one could sit by the fireplace admiring the ornate ceiling for hours. Also reached through double doors, the main bedroom suite is off the foyer. It has a walk-in wardrobe and elegant en suite. The second and third bedrooms make up a pigeon pair. The fourth entices has glass doors to a deck surrounded by a garden. When it comes to casual get-togethers, the vast open-plan hub hits the mark. The kitchen adjoins a butler’s pantry, which opens to the laundry. Warmed by an open fireplace, the dining and family areas connect with the rear verandah and backyard through three sets of french doors. ● KAY KEIGHERY property@theweeklyreview.com.au
