THE DOS & DON’TS...

The Myer ambassador

shares all of her race day

beauty essentials

Apparently picking a horse based on its fabulous name doesn’t guarantee you

any extra dosh. If you’re a racing rookie, just follow these steps to placing a bet

EAT CARBS DO

No one wants

drunk girl. Stay

classy and line

your stomach!

WEAR DON’T

BRAND-NEW SHOES

It’s a long day

and you don’t

want to be THAT

girl walking

around with

blistered feet.

BRING FLATS DO

Your feet will

thank you – and

it means you can

keep partying

into the night.

TA K E DON’T

Your makeup

will start to melt

safety net to

have if I

feel I need it

lips, cheeks

and eyelids.”

A ROOKIE’S GUIDE TO RACING

12 3 45

Tell the clerk

at the betting

booth what

number race

you want to put

a bet on.

Tell him/her

the amount

you’re betting.

As a rookie we

say don’t go

over $20.

Choose your

horse – go for

a favourite, or

take a chance

on your lucky

number.

Choose the type

of bet – make it

easy and go for a

“win” (fi rst place)

or a “place” (in

the top three).

Put it all

together.

For example,

“Race 3, $10

on Forgotten

Rules to win”.

And, if all that fails, you can always fall back on: “Can I order a glass of champers, please?”
