Search begins for the face of Canberra racing

THE search is on for Thoroughbred Park’s 2012 Myer Face of Canberra Racing.

Now in it’s fourth year, the competition not only gives one lucky lady the opportunity to be the face of Canberra racing for 12 months but offers more than $10,000 in cash and prizes to the winner.

Current Myer Face of Canberra Racing, Natasha Roberts said over the past 12 months she has gained plenty of experience.

“I’ve had some fantastic opportunities,” she said.

“I hosted Thoroughbred Park Fashion TV, there was plenty of photo shoots throughout the year, and I even gained television experience, filming commercials for Club sponsors. The experience was invaluable.”

Natasha’s title included speaking engagements and hosting several functions.

“I have meet so many people and it’s been a definite boost to my confidence,” she said.

Thoroughbred Park will be looking for local ladies aged between 18 and 35.

“We are looking for someone with immaculate presentation, someone who is fashion savvy and willing to become Canberra Racing’s ambassador,” sales and marketing manager Briony Young said.

“An interest in horseracing is beneficial, but not essential, we’d like someone who is the complete package, sophisticated, well spoken and confident.”

A preliminary heat will be held at a fashion parade at Tongue and Groove Bar. Contestants will then parade on Preview Day, Sunday February 26 with the winner to be announced later that day.

“This is the only model search of its kind in Canberra and each year the entrants increase due to the popularity of the competition,” Briony said.

“It’s definitely an ideal launch pad for someone who is interested in modelling or media.”

The first engagement for the new winner will be at the Kamberra Wine Company Black Opal Stakes in March.
