Black and White out of Sight – 2019 AAMI Victoria Derby

The Melbourne Cup Carnival leapt into action on Saturday 2^nd November with the AAMI Victoria Derby. Derby Day is the most prestigious day on the Spring Racing calendar and brings elegance and style to the track at Flemington. This year mother nature decided to step in and challenge us all bringing floods of heavy rain. Hold on to your hats or change your hairstyle completely which is what model and former Miss Universe Tegan Martin told me she decided to do when she heard the days forecast.

The Derby as we know is themed Black and White and no other colour apart from a little Charcoal/Grey is acceptable.
