Champion Adelaide jockeys show fashionable dress codes ahead of Melbourne Cup RACING STYLE: Jockeys Libby Hopwood, Jamie Kah, Eran Boyd, and Clare Lindop at Morphettville Race course. IT'S a change of scene for champion jockey Clare Lindop, but she is certainly looking the part of best-dressed in the lead up to Tuesday's Melbourne Cup. Lindop, who is the only South Australian female jockey to have ridden in a Melbourne Cup, swapped her racing silks for a fashion-forward floral frock for a special Advertiser photoshoot. Jockeys Eran Boyd, Jamie Kah and Libby Hopwood joined her to model racewear from Miss Gladys Sym Choon and Adorn Collection by Melissa Barnes millinery at Morphettville. Lindop, who finished fifth on Dolphin Jo in 2007 in the best of her three Melbourne Cup rides, said the unofficial dress code for female jockeys had changed during her career. The 34-year-old said it wasn't the done thing to dress up when she started riding in 1995. "We do wear dresses to the big days (now), but very rarely wear fascinators," she said, adding she enjoyed the Advertiser photoshoot. To get out and pose in the grandstand was a bit of fun. Miss Gladys Sym Choon director Joff Chappel said Cup day was a "celebration of spring fashion." Retro style print dresses like the one worn by Lindop were perfect for the races, he said. "It's a really strong look this season and just about anybody can wear it," he said. A 2013/2014 Fashion at The Races heat is being held at the Morphettville on Melbourne Cup Day event, which will feature live racing. For more information visit sajc.com.au
