Style took centre-stage at the 2021 Penfolds Victoria Derby Day.
Prestige, glamour and style all got top billing on the first big race day of the Melbourne Cup Carnival 2021.
As we joined together to celebrate the time of our lives, the fashion stakes showcased the tradition of the day’s classic black-and-white themes.
The whole day was highlighted by the exceptional run by Australian horse Hitotsu, coming virtually from the backfield at the final turn to go on to win the $2 million feature race.
It made for a thrilling day as Flemington Racecourse was able to open its gates and welcome in an extra 5000 lovers of racing and fashion.
