👑 MEET THE JUDGES – FASHIONS ON THE FIELD 👑
This bet365 Coleraine Cup, our Fashions on the Field entrants will be judged by a fabulous panel who know style, elegance and a great day at the races!
🌟 JO ELTRINGHAM (New to the panel!)
Jo hails from Country Victoria and could find her way around a country racetrack as soon as she could walk. Involved in all aspects of racing her whole life, Jo loves a flutter, fashion, a glass of bubbles and the social side of race day almost as much as the racing itself! She even had a winner as an owner on Cup Day last year, so our Cup has a special place in her heart.
On the day, Jo will be looking for unique outfits worn with confidence and a smile, considered choices from an ethical and sustainability perspective, and – as a friend member of Millinery Australia – well-made millinery that finishes an outfit perfectly. Mostly, Jo just hopes everyone has fun and enjoys the great day out Coleraine provides – there's no better start to a spring long weekend!
🌟 LIZ MECHAM (Returning judge)
A familiar and much-loved face on our FOTF panel, Liz has been judging at Coleraine for a number of years and brings beautiful style and personality to the role every single time. An enjoyer of fashion and millinery, Liz loves dabbling in the competition of FOTF herself, as well as the creation of millinery. Her eye for elegance and genuine warmth make her a favourite with entrants and crowd alike.
Get your outfits ready – Jo and Liz can't wait to see what you bring to the track this Cup Day! 👗🎩
