Classic fashion at the races

<p>Tauranga's fashion elite was out in force on Saturday for one of the most important events on every punter's social calendar - Bayley's International Race Day. With three fashion in the field contests and more than $8000 of prizes up for grabs, the horses were a minor attraction. It was all about the race to be best-dressed. <a href=" http://www.bayofplentytimes.co.nz/photosales/" target="_blank">Click here for photo sales. </a></p> <p> </p>
