Coca-Cola Amatil Fashion Raceday
There was a burst of excitement and colour as Spring Racing really heated things up at the Coca Cola Amatil Fashion Raceday.
With the clouds hanging over, the Myer Fashions on the Field Women's' Racewear Interstate Competition shone. With a strong field of over 50 contestants, nurse Jaydee Paino from Cairns took out the title and with it a nine-day, all expenses paid trip to Flemington's Melbourne Cup, where she will represent the state in the national Myer Fashion on the Field Competition. Ms Paino's classic white and navy ensemble was completed with a feathered fascinator and a splash of horse prints.
Both Ms Paino with friend and 1st Runner Up Emma Verri, made the long trip down to the Brisbane Racing Club to participate especially in this competition, their first Fashions on the Field in Brisbane. While Brisbane local, Laura Flynn, was awarded 2nd Runner Up.
There was also fierce competition on the track – this time in stilettos! Over 70 girls participated in Brisbane's very first Mount Franklin Lightly Sparkling Stiletto Run for the chance to win $5000. With the grandstands cheering on and a tight finish (surpassing even a couple of males), the grand prize went to 21 year old Brittney McGlone of Braidwood (near Canberra).

As a member of the Australian Institute of Sport, the 400m hurdler has participated in Stiletto Run's previously in Sydney and managed to race down the track in under 12 seconds. Five Runners' Up also took home a $200 voucher from Izabel+Sebastian; but the real winner was the charity behind this event SCT Now, devoted to stopping child trafficking, managing to raise thousands from online registrations and on the day generosity.
