Racegoers flaunt fascinators at the Geelong Cup, Melbourne
Paramedics rushed to a woman who fell ill at the Geelong Cup on Wednesday. The weather was warm and the atmosphere was exciting. Some people took breath tests to check their alcohol levels. A bride-to-be wearing a cocktail dress and veil placed a bet. Last week, about 30,000 punters descended on the Caulfield racecourse in Melbourne's south east on October 15. They were dressed in their finest race day garb. On Wednesday, the scene on the fields turned more garish than glam. It was 17 degrees in Geelong on a spring day.
