But it’s not all about the horses, with thousands of glammed-up women leaping at the opportunity to put their best fashion feet forward. 

Deemed the ‘most glamorous’ day of the 2017 Sydney Spring Carnival, Sydney’s Moet and Chandon Spring Champion Stakes day, is no exception. 

Royal Randwick course quickly became host to some excitable spectators on Saturday, with jumpsuits and pantsuits a clear favourite among female attendees.

Like any spring racing event there was no shortage of eye-catching fashions on the field. 

Women led the way with a mixture of block coloured statement ensembles, many opting to ditch the traditional fascinator in favour of keeping it simple with boater hats and sunglasses. 

Feminine prints, frills and floral patterns seemed to be the order of the day as ladies stepped out dressed to the nines. 

Thigh-skimming dresses were also a major theme, with some forced to battle the breeze to keep their modesty intact.

Taking a leaf from their female counterparts, male punters accessorised with groovy head-wear and stylish sunglasses. 

Some women protected themselves from the gusty conditions with the addition of a blazer, but most chose to brave the chilly weather in minimal clothing.
