Win Big at Frocks at the Trots While Supporting Team Teal

This summer, Frocks at the Trots brings together the glamour of race day fashion and the excitement of harness racing. Sponsored by Harness Life, this stylish event celebrates the best-dressed attendees while supporting the Team Teal campaign, raising awareness and funds for ovarian cancer research.

πŸ’™ What is Team Teal?

Team Teal is a powerful initiative uniting the harness racing community across New Zealand and Australia. For six weeks, from February to mid-March, reinswomen wear teal pants during races to raise awareness for ovarian cancer. Every win by a reinswoman contributes to fundraising efforts, supporting:

  • The Research Nurse Grant Program, which places specialist nurses in clinical trials.
  • The Survivors Teaching Students Program, where ovarian cancer survivors educate medical students about the disease's signs and symptoms.

By participating in Frocks at the Trots, you’re directly contributing to this vital cause while enjoying a vibrant and glamorous event.
