Fashion Finale April was the pinnacle of the Fashion at The Races season at Schweppes Oaks Day at Morphettville when Rikki-Lee Hull was crowned South Australia’s most stylish racegoer for 2012/13. Up against 14 other finalists, Rikki-Lee’s outfit proved a favourite with the judges – making her the overall winner of the competition and earning her the keys to the major prize – a MINI Ray valued at more than $29,350.

The 15 finalists were selected at local Fashion at The Races events held at race meetings across the state during the past year. Runner-up was Brooke Walter, representing Strathalbyn Racing Club, who walked away with a $3000 wardrobe by fashion partner, Perri Cutten. Also recognised was Gawler Finalist Elle Missen, whose qualifying outfit won her the People’s Choice award following an online voting poll in the two weeks prior to Schweppes Oaks Day. Thoroughbred Racing SA would like to thank Fashion at The Races Ambassador Hayley Pearson for her contribution to the competition, our valued sponsors and the hundreds of entrants from race meetings across the State.

“For any lover of racing, it’s a simply brilliant night.

Dressing for the races can be an intimidating affair, especially for the uninitiated. But with the Balaklava Cup one of the state’s biggest racing soirees - fast approaching, now’s the time to get up-to-date with all the looks of the season.

In this edition of TRQ we speak to Luke Schapel, owner of men’s fashion store Ivy League, to get his tips on how to come out a winner in the style stakes at your next day at the races.

TRQ: Hi Luke. Thanks for chatting to TRQ. Can you tell us a bit about Ivy League and how it all started?

Luke: I’ve always had an interest in fashion. About 10 years ago I spent a year as a student in the US and I was exposed to traditional Ivy League dressing. It was a whole new style and range of brands – such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Gant and more – and I absolutely loved it.

With my interest in fashion I started up a suit business, The Suit Co, in the CBD but I soon saw an opportunity to bring international brands like Scotch & Soda to Adelaide and it was a natural progression to open Ivy League. Then about two years after opening my first Ivy League store at Norwood, I decided it made sense to combine the two offerings so I closed The Suit Co and opened a second Ivy League shop – incorporating both suits and casual wear – in the CBD. With a range of local and international brands, we pride ourselves on our high quality menswear which is largely inspired by the traditional fashion of the Ivy League universities of North Eastern America.

We also believe in old fashioned, one on one customer interaction – building personal relationships with our customers by providing honest advice and unparalleled service. The way it should be!

fashion |FEATURE News HEADLINE

TRQ: So what kind of trends are you seeing coming in for next season (spring)?

Luke: I’m already doing my fabric buying for spring and I’m seeing a lot of traditional fabrics and textures. Patterns like Herringbone, Houndstooth and Prince of Wales will feature. I’m also seeing lots of three piece suits – you can expect to see waist coats and lots of trimmings such as bowties, pocket squares and more. There will be plenty of earthy colours and of course slim-fit suits will still be popular.

TRQ: So when you’re not at Ivy League, what else are you involved in? We’ve heard you enjoy a day at the races?

Luke: I’m involved in a couple of syndicates and my mates and I certainly enjoy a bit of a punt. I first got involved in the races about 10 years ago when some friends initiated local youth-based racing events and since then I’ve been a regular at the Oakbank and Clare races as well as some of the metropolitan events.

The Clare Easter Races would have to be a personal favourite. It’s an authentic experience and you can always get a spot close to the track – plus, every year we seem to get fantastic weather.

TRQ: And what style tips would you give men heading for a day trackside?

Luke: Different racetracks often have different rules and dress codes – some dressier, others more casual – so it’s best to check before you attend. My number one piece of advice to men heading to the races is simply; make an effort. Women generally take a lot of pride in what they look like and I would encourage men to do some research and take some time to think about what they’re going to wear.

Wear a suit (with a jacket) and a tie or bow-tie. Wear a nice pair of shoes and make sure they are shined. And keep in mind that racing season is supposed to be fun, so don’t be afraid to add some accessories and show a little of your own personality.

Winter Warmers with apprentice jockey Lauren Stojakovic

I

n February Lauren Stojakovic’s dreams came to life when she won the $1 million Blue Diamond at Caulfield aboard Miracles of Life and ahead of some of the biggest names in racing.

The victory meant Stojakovic now joins Clare Lindop and Michelle Payne as the only current Group 1 winning female jockeys in Australia.

It was a fairytale for the injuryravaged apprentice, whose career seemed over seven years ago after a series of falls. You can re-live the emotional win by clicking the link to the video on page 15.

Three things you didn’t know about Lauren Stojakovic 1. She first dreamt of being a jockey when she was five years old. Her mum’s only explanation for her obsession with horses came from the fact that mum was working as a TAB operator while she was pregnant, because no one else in the family had any interest in horses.

2. Miracles of Life was given the nickname Barbie because she’s got a beautiful long blonde mane and tail which she won’t let

The Races Quarterly South Australia

anyone cut, and she’s also a real girl around the stable.

3. She started riding professionally at the age of 17 and has had a series of lengthy injuries including a broken leg, surgery on both knees and a badly smashed pelvis which collectively took her out of the game for many years.

During this time she worked as a vet nurse and part-time Steward for Thoroughbred Racing SA something which allowed her to fully recover physically, mentally and emotionally.

Irish Race Day

Shamrocks, Shillelaghs

and the Guinness is good for you

I

rish Race Day is fast approaching so it’s time to celebrate the Irish and Australian love for a day at the races. But what is it that the Irish love more than the race?

Their homeland.

As patriotism is rife in the lead up to the event, we asked Melanie Wynne from Phil Hoffman travel to give us a taste of what makes the Emerald isle such a remarkable place to visit.

Ireland is a leprechaun-sized country with a gargantuan-sized reputation.

Across the globe, the Emerald isle is famous for its timeless evergreen

landscapes dotted with churches and black sheep, lyrical pubs heaving with hospitality, a stone that can be kissed and will offer one the gift of the gab, a drink called Guinness that is good for you, a Book of Kells, the Temple Bar and cities that celebrate oysters, music and beautiful crystal.

In short, Ireland is as the Irish say ‘a thoroughly good craic’. Ireland is the stuff of postcards. Along the peninsulas of the southwest, the brooding loneliness of Connemara, the spectacular Cliffs of Moher on the Clare coast and the mysticism and all-round beauty of the wild Dingle Peninsular will fill the photo

The Races Quarterly South Australia

albums of anyone entranced by natural beauty. Ireland possesses it in buckets. This is one extraordinarily attractive country.

Yet, tread carefully, for you tread on history. Up and down this fair land, Ireland’s history presents itself, from the amazing ruins of Ireland’s rich monastic past at Clonmacnoise in County Offaly and Glendalough in County Wicklow to more recent history in the shape of the famine museum at Cobh in County Cork to the interactive displays of Vinegar Hill in County Wexford.

31 August 2013| 17

And, if you want to attend theatrical gigs, impromptu musical recitals or festivals, from Galway to Limerick, Doolin to Dublin, Ireland is awash with all manner of festivals celebrating everything from flowers in full bloom, to music and literature.

Racing in Ireland is also unique.

With 26 race courses located around the country and almost 350 days of racing each year, there are endless opportunities to join in one of Ireland’s most popular pastimes. Why not check out the Irish National Hunt Festival at Punchestown or the excitement of a thrilling finish at Ireland’s most important race track, the Curragh.

If you’d prefer to stay closer to home, join us at Irish Race Day at Morphettville.

The Irish are renowned for their welcome. ‘Cead mile failte’ or in English ‘a hundred thousand welcomes’ is about where it’s at in Ireland. There’s no denying despite the clichés, that the Irish are some of the most welcoming folk on the planet, unabashedly altruistic.

Irish Race Day Date: Saturday, September 7 2013 Cost: General admission $20 Packages: Hospitality from $80pp sajc.com.au

Don’t take our word for it. Sample some of the ‘craic’ for yourself. And when someone utters ‘Cead mile failte’, you’ll know you’re welcome in Ireland.

The Best of SA Racing in the Flinders Ranges It,s a landscape that every South Australian should experience. From its rugged 540 million year old mountains to its stereotypically Australian landscape the Flinders Ranges has become a rite of passage for all South Australians and rightly so.

But what some South Aussies don’t know about the Flinders is that it is host to three of the states most unique racing events; The Roxby Downs Outback Cup, The Quorn Cup and the Port Augusta Cup. From the Roxby Downs Cup South Australia’s most remote race meeting, to the Port Augusta Cup held at one of the state’s most picturesque and popular race courses there’s plenty to experience. So, why not enjoy a trip to an iconic racing event and while you’re there drop by and see some of the Flinders Ranges prized attractions.

Arkaroola Flinders Ranges Wildnerness Sanctuary National Park The 610 square kilometre Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary includes some of Australia’s most spectacular mountain views and offers numerous Advanced Ecotourism accredited guided tours. Arkaroola is a mecca for bushwalkers and four-wheel drivers. The spectacular Advanced Ecotourism accredited rugged four-wheel drive Ridgetop Tour is world famous; journey to the depths of ancient seabeds and across razorback ridges and peaks of the Flinders Ranges most rugged mountains to the magnificent climax at Sillers Lookout.

Outback Ballooning Flinders Ranges Outback Ballooning Flinders Ranges is Australia’s only balloon company specialising in remote outback operations. Outback Ballooning provides a fun and totally safe ballooning experience for all ages – giving ballooners the opportunity to experience the best scenery the Flinders has to offer.

The Flinders Ranges National Park is one of South Australia’s most popular destinations. This area is world-renowned for its geological history, Aboriginal rock art sites, impressive fossil remains and its ruins of early European settlement.

Aboriginal people have lived in the Flinders Ranges for tens of thousands of years. For the Adnyamathanha - the hills or rock people, the ranges are still of immense cultural significance.

The park offers a wide range of activities for all interests. Drive through the scenic Bunyeroo Valley to the magnificent Brachina Gorge or hike some of the many walking trails of varying lengths and fitness levels including Bunyeroo Gorge, Bridle Gap and the challenging St Marys Peak. You can also enjoy camping (fees apply), bird watching and Aboriginal and European cultural experiences.

Oodnadatta Track

Arkaba Walk

The Oodnadatta Track offers one of the best Outback drives in Australia. Steeped in history, natural wonders and a rich cultural heritage, the track is perhaps our most fascinating and historic outback trail. It was the route for 19th century explorers like John McDouall Stuart. The track follows an old Aboriginal trading route through semi-desert country with artesian springs and waterholes along the way. It now carries tourist traffic all year round.

Australia’s environment is one of the most specialised and diverse on earth and the best way to appreciate its subtleties is on foot. With expert guides to interpret the geology, flora and fauna of the Flinders Ranges, the Four Day/Three Night Walking Safari brings a few luxury touches to an immersive bush experience.

The Oodnadatta Track bypasses beautiful Lake Eyre and dissects the incredible natural phenomenon of the artesian “mound” spring belt, which stretches from Marree through to the splendidly warm Dalhousie Springs. And the country surrounding the Oodnadatta Track is dotted with Aboriginal history and Dreaming. Please note the track is unsealed and subject to closure due to adverse weather conditions. For details on roads please contact 1300 361 033.

Traversing Wilpena Pound and 40,000 acres of Arkaba’s private wildlife conservancy, the walk is an opportunity to share with just a privileged few one of Australia’s most spectacular outback landscapes.

From dry creek beds and isolated waterholes, lined with 1,000 year old river red gums to craggy ridge lines and rolling hills covered in cypress pines to the ancient ramparts of Wilpena Pound, this is some of the most stunning walking country in Australia.
