2009 Crown Oaks
On day 3 of the Spring Carnival the Crown Oaks will be held, be sure to know who to bet on with Sport Bet Australia
The 2009 Crown Oaks is set to cap a marvellous Spring Carnival at Flemington. The third day of the Melbourne Cup Spring Racing Carnival at Flemington, this exciting day has been renowned as Ladies Day and in recent times colloquially Blokes Day. The Fashions on the Field competition takes place each year and is now extremely popular with racegoers.
Bringing out the best, and sometimes the worst, in Ladies Fashion, it's a day where what everyone wears is scrutinised, praised, abhorred, envied or missed. It is an amazing day and currents boasts the fastest growing crowd records for any day in the carnival with over 100,000 predicted to attend this year.
The race itself, is a 2500m Group 1 race for 3 year old fillies, offers prize money to the value of $750,000.
It was first run in 1861 and despite being held on a work day, Crown Oaks Day still manages to be one of the more popular crowd events on the Australian Horse Racing Calender.
