On August 16, 2019, The Luxury Network and the Diplomatic Council hosted a one-of-a-kind event for 70 of its guests – Red and White Affair by the Diplomatic Council – in celebration of Singapore’s 54th National Day at the Singapore Turf Club.

Founded in 1842, Singapore Turf Club (STC) at Kranji is Singapore’s only racecourse and holds both day and night live horse races. Invited guests were treated to a specially curated all silver-white theme that exuded class and luxe. The closed-door event took place in the VIP Suite on level 4 of the Grandstand, which offered a bird’s eye view of the racetrack, and provided a private ambience for them to network and mingle.

Guests were also treated to a rare experience – up close and personal with the race horses at the horse parade ring, followed by exciting trackside action as the horses raced towards the finishing line.

The event ended on a high note with Best Dressed Male and Female awarded to Dr Bernard Cheong and Gerti Iwatake. Nominees for best dress Male and Female included Bentley Cheng & Mark Hashemi and Joanne Sim & Serene Tan.

A night out at the races against a scenic backdrop at the Singapore Turf Club definitely did not disappoint.
