It's one of the richest group one races in the world with prize money in the millions, and the fashion is of course another major draw card with international VIP's flying in from all over the world to attend.

Crown Oaks Day, otherwise known as 'Ladies Day,' (or blokes day depending on how you see the world) is traditionally a day for women to enjoy the races. I've no idea when or why it came to be, but I do know that you do see groups of women all dressed up out for a day of racing, punting and champagne of course.
