Senior

The Competition

  • For both boys and girls aged between 13 and 17 years old.
  • To streamline the competition and reduce waiting times for contestants, friends and parents, registration rolls immediately into Heats.
  •  As each group of approximately 12 entrants of the same sex receive their contestant cards, they will be formed into a group and move almost immediately onstage for their heat.

Heats

  • A Specialist Judging Panel will select their top contestants from each heat. The criteria for judging is based on "Fun and Fashionable Racewear".
  • While the group is still onstage, the MC will announce the contestant/s who will progress to the appropriate Senior Final and then the group will file off stage.
  • Contestants not selected to progress in the competition will be given a gift bag on departing the Emirates Stakes Day Fashions on the Field Enclosure.
  • Contestants selected to progress in the competition will be asked to wait until the conclusion of the heats, when they will be briefed as a group about their requirements for the Senior Finals later the same day.
