The Crown Oaks Day is as much as celebration of trackside style as of the sport of horse racing. Before the crowds come together to cheer through the race card of nine high-class thoroughbred horse racing fixtures, Flemington Racecourse is transformed into a fashion wonderland. Ladies and gentlemen alike get a chance to show off their finest threads in best dressed competitions, currently sponsored by Myer, turning the Crown Oaks Day into a feast for the fashion-conscious eye that even rivals Melbourne Cup fashion events.
The Crown Oaks are naturally the feature event on Crown Oaks Day and the only Group 1 event of the afternoon. However, Group 1 or not, the rest of the race card also holds some unforgettable thrills in terms of outstanding thoroughbred horse racing. The quality of the runners on Crown Oaks Day leaves nothing to be desired and will soon make even the most coiffed members of the audience jump and shout without a second thought to dishevelled hair. The races are also very popular with punters who place thousands of dollars worth of wagers at online betting sites like Sportsbet.
