“G’day and welcome to The Annual ANZA Melbourne Cup Race Day 2018 at the Singapore Turf Club.

Year after year, this is one of our most popular events to get dressed up to the nines, use our (albeit limited) horseracing lingo and have a cheeky flutter on the Race that Stops a Nation.

As always, I’m very much looking forward to spending time with you all in our 70th anniversary year – especially the best dressed winners of the People’s Choice prizes. Download and get voting on ANZA Vote! If you haven’t done so yet, you may still have time. I’m also delighted that we’re supporting our worthwhile charity; Riding for the Disabled Singapore.

So eat, drink and be merry – odds on, we’re up for the very best of days with our community.

PJ ROBERTS, ANZA PRESIDENT

For more than a decade, Allied Pickfords Singapore has been proud to be the Platinum and Logistics Sponsor of the Annual ANZA Melbourne Cup Race Day. In 2018, we are especially proud to be part of this fabulous event in the year of ANZA’s 70th Anniversary of its foundation.

THE JUDGES Introducing the Style Police – our esteemed judges for the Banyan Tree Fashions on the Field.

NICHOLAS OXBORROW DIRECTOR AND OWNER, FABULATION Which celebrity epitomises Melbourne Cup racing style?

Nicole Kidman is always effortlessly elegant. She wears beautifully cut and fashioned clothes that always make me take note.

The best racing outfit accessory?

It has to be the hat. Nothing says racing like a stunningly crafted hat, perfectly coordinated with your outfit.

If you had a racehorse, what would you call it?

Fabulocity.

MEGAN KINDER RELOCATION CONSULTANT AT ASIAN WELCOME AND PRESIDENT ANZA CYCLING What are your top tips for making it through the day stylishly?

1. If you’re considering an outfit you’d usually wear to the zoo or the beach (or on your bike), probably time to think again.

2. Arm yourself with a good breakfast and keep well-hydrated.

3. Keep your shoes on.

cycling

What are you most looking forward to at ANZA’s Melbourne Cup Race Day? Who doesn’t love a day off in the company of wonderful friends, all looking their dandiest, with a generous supply of bubbles thrown in?

The only thing better would be bringing home a winner or two!

MOIRA COOPS STYLIST AND MAKEUP ARTIST What are your tips for remaining stylish from morning to after party?

1. Good makeup. Primer is very important as you need a good base for concealer, foundation and powder in this heat. Outline the lips, fill them in with pencil, blot with powder, then add lipstick, no gloss.

Finally, false eyelashes make all the difference!

2. If drinking alcohol, make sure you’re alternating one glass of water to one glass of alcohol.

The best racing outfit accessory?

Apart from Mr Tall, Dark and Handsome in a morning suit, go for a gorgeous hat from Tiffany’s or a custom-made design from Philip Treacy.
