Paint the Town Red with Emirates Red Fashion

If you were at Capitol Piazza last weekend you would have noticed the Emirates Singapore Derby Roadshow happening.

The Emirates Singapore Derby Roadshow is now at CHIJMES, The Lawn from 11am to 8pm and 12pm to 10pm respectively. 

What to expect?

Horse Pitching Competition. If you went to the roadshow last year, this was a must have activity and it happened at Ion. The host of this activity is so engaging and friendly that you will be inclined to have a go.

Horse patting and feeding. The thing that everyone wants to do most. Feeding the horse? Not so much. More like taking a photo with her.  

There are also other activities such as the Fashion Show by Reckless Shop and Fashion House, Singapore Turf Club Mascots, Racer and Clover walking around and you can have a look at the history of Emirates Singapore Derby Exhibition or check out the InstaPhoto Booth.

In conjunction with the Emirates Singapore Derby, they are also running an Instagram contest starting from 20 June 2016 to 8 July 2016, 2359PM. All you have to do is to upload your best RED outfit of the day (RED OOTD) onto your Instagram and hashtag #EmiratesRedFashion & Tag @SGTurfClub and you will stand a chance to win a set of premium gift worth about S$2,000 from Emirates. I hear that there's a Chopard watch in that gift set, so what are you waiting for?

Celebrating The Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Singapore Turf Club

On a fine Sunday afternoon we were off to the Singapore Turf Club and this time for...The Queen Elizabeth II Cup.

What's this Queen Elizabeth II Cup about? It is a race in order to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s first visit to the picturesque Singapore Racecourse in 1972. With this theme in mind, the Singapore Racecourse was spruced up with a British flair as you get to see ladies dressed in unique hats. Why not try out a hat yourself? There was a “Best Hats on Tracks” contest to complement the fashion theme as in past years. 

Besides that, there was an elegant fashion showcase by “Shopping at Tiffany’s” where models parade the latest seasonal collection. Definitely something to look out for for the fashionistas.

While this race was named in the Queen's honour, unfortunately she was too busy to grace the event but it was still a really eye-opening experience watching jockeys race around the field. The thrill and excitement is something to be experienced! 

Dining in comfort in the Marquee, we got to see the horses race around the track. They were so much closer this time round, close enough for me to get some good shots of them in action. 

And...they are off!

We managed to get up close with the horses where they were guided a few laps around the ring so that we could judge their energy level for ourselves and decide whether they were in a winning-state.

The finalists of the Miss Singapore International 2016 pageant were also at the racecourse enjoying the races with package holders.

It was a time of chilling out, having fun and watching races here at the Singapore Turf Club. If you are interested to find out more about the activities happening at the Singapore Turf Club click here.

Singapore International Racing Festival 2015

It was my first time at Singapore Turf Club and it was quite the experience. We started off with taking lots of OOTDs, totally us (or more like them XD).

We watched the horses race and you can totally feel the atmosphere heating up as each race begins. Everyone or at least quite a number of people will go out to take a look at the horses they have betted on. It's quite a thrilling experience for those who have placed their bets and you can see them cheer on the horses. 

It rained a little despite the crazily hot weather and we spotted a rainbow!

We were allowed to get up close with the jockeys and their horses.  Could totally hear the shouts of support for the various horses.

So the Singapore Airlines International Cup 2015 commenced! Look at all those cameras NOT. The highlight should be the performers decked in all the bright and pretty colours and the SIA girls of course.

The SIA stewardesses and the trophies

We watched the Kris Flyer International Sprint and congratulations to Aerovelocity for winning the first place! What an intense match it was. You should have felt the atmosphere as the horses raced past. Exhilarating! That decisive moment when the first horse crossed the finishing line and with that, the results were set. Did you win or lose?
