Fashions on the field



While for some Snake Gully Cup Day is all about horses and picking a winner ... for others the day is all about fashion, hats and racing glamour! What racing carnival would be complete without Fashions on the Field!

Fashion and horse racing have become synonymous with each other, and the Snake Gully Cup is no exception. The Fashions on the Field is a highly anticipated and hotly contested event at the Cup each year, with both local and interstate competitors.


A team of Fashions on the Field spotters will wander amongst race goers looking for potential entrants. So if you are approached to enter, be confident and take the chance!


Where to register:

This year entrants for Fashions on the Field can register before the day here through the website, or on Snake Gully Cup Day at the entrance gate to the racecourse.
