WITH ANN PEACOCK

WHO IS ANN PEACOCK?

Hi my name is Ann Peacock. I just celebrated my 60th birthday. I made sure I had numerous celebrations, even dinners at restaurants one month after, we were saying it was my birthday!
I have 2 boys, 25 yoa and 23 yoa: my children are my absolute world, everything revolves around them – the used to call me a helicopter mum and I still am (they hate it)

YOU ARE A DIRECTOR OF THE VICTORIA RACING CLUB, WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GO ON ITS BOARD?

I grew up with an interest in horse racing through my parents love of the horse and the sport.

In 1976 our horse Leilani ran second in the Melbourne Cup.
my mother’s second marriage was to Robert Sangster who had an interest in racing and breeding throughout the world.

We were so lucky to travel to the most important races all over the world with them.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE?

I am a strong woman who likes very much to work and work hard. If I am given a task, I will do it immediately. I cannot stand tardiness.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE? ANY STYLE TIPS FOR RACE GOERS?

My style is; whatever I love to wear, what brings a smile to me. I start looking for Melbourne Cup Carnival race year very early in the new year. I buy a lot of my clothes online. Whatever I choose for the most special week of racing in the world (The Melbourne Cup carnival) I put away in the cupboard and pull out to wear close to the carnival. I always reuse a dress, once twice or three times for days racing. No one remembers and if you love what you are wearing, then that is all that matters.
