As a punter how do you pick your winners at the Wellington Cup? Do you simply bet on the favourite, or do you get technical and look at form, track conditions, stats and lineage. Or like many of us do you make your choices simply by the horses name or the Jockey's colours?
When I was a little girl attending Wellington Cup I used to always choose the horse with the shadow or nose roll (the fluffy sheepskin attachment on the bridle), these days I pay more attention to the whole horse, not just what it's wearing.
Who knows what condition the track will be in on the big day but one thing is for certain the fashion will be an explosion of colour when one of New Zealand's best race days is hosted right here in Wellington and Trentham becomes the place to be seen
The headwear has it by a nose at Trentham where your hat is all important. Stay ahead of the pack with an eye-catching neon bright fascinator from Equip. They have a great range especially in store for Wellington Cup week. The colour pop is big this summer so outshine them all with both your betting prowess and your bold and bright fashion sense.

Wedges and thick heels are a sure bet if you plan to be on the field. Your heels can't sink into the turf and they are comfortable and easy to walk in. In the same vein, choose a chunky heel for comfort and ease of walking and save the stilettos for another day.

It'll be a photo finish with polka dots and pearls trackside. This timeless and elegant silhouette is made even more feminine with the ruffle clutch and delicate sinamay fascinator. Pearls are the perfect finishing touch.
On a bright sunny day the little black sundress can look tres chic. Team it with a killer clutch and leave the field for dead.
It's a well-known fact that the clothes make the man so be the best man on the racetrack with a well cut suit and well-co-ordinated accessories to attract the attention of the fillies.
