Senior Kids

To streamline the competition and reduce waiting times for contestants, friends and parents, registration rolls immediately into Heats.
As each group of approximately 20 entrants of the same sex receive their contestant cards, they will be formed into a group and move almost immediately onstage for their heat.

1.05pm - Heats

A Specialist Judging Panel will select their top one or two contestants from each heat. The criteria for judging is based on "Fun and Fashionable Racewear". Click here for the full Judging Criteria.
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.
Following this briefing (at approx 12.50pm), the Senior Finalists will be free to leave.
