Fashion in the Field Summer 2017

Fashion in the Field was held on Sunday 15 January, 2017 at Richmond Park Race Course.

Prizes up to the value of $2,500 were offered to both the Best Dressed Female, Best Dressed Male, Best Dressed Boy and Best Dressed Girl at the races in 2017.

25 lovely ladies entered Fashion in the Field Best Dressed Female along with 10 males entering for Best Dressed Male. There were 10 children in total who entered on the day - we expect this to grow in numbers over the coming years.

All entrants paraded on the Fashion in the Field Platform with the final winners being named in front of the public grandstand just after Race 9. Special thanks to our Judges; Kelly Vercoe and Brooke Wanoa.

Checkout all the entrants and photos from the day on the Nelson Harness Racing Club Facebook page.
