Halloween is a golden opportunity to horse around and I got a chance to literally do just that at Singapore Turf Club to celebrate this year’s hallow’s night. What an unusual venue for a heart-pounding Halloween party!
A good time up for grabs.
I’ve never stepped foot on Singapore Turf Club before this visit. Neither at its former racecourse located at Bukit Timah built in 1933 nor its current home at Kranji from 1999. The old race track has since been transformed into a dining and lifestyle venue known as The Grandstand while the Kranji club evolved to be more than just a horse-racing club but an exotic haunt for major events such as Singapore Symphony Orchestra concerts, lawn parties, ringside entertainment and holding private functions.
With the bubbly Fadilah who invited me to the Fangtastic Halloween party held in one of the Corporate Boxes with a 180-degree view of the race track.
马到功成，一马当先！Although I didn’t place any bets, it was quite a rush watching the horses and their jockeys try to out gallop each other.
Creative eats at the event… coffin-shaped salmon wiches that brings the carbo crave to the grave, crawlie sweets and spooktato mousse in beef stew.
The party’s theme was Halloween Glam and I don’t know how to mix glam and gore together, I was thankful make-up artists were on hand to add that spook factor.
Let me in!
Part of our night’s activities included a tour of the race arena and getting a close-up of the riders and stallions. I thought the ring would whiff of horse manure and wastes like most places that offer horse-drawn carriage or pony rides but it was thankfully stench-free.
Horse power on parade.
I’ve read that jockeys have a small stature so as to minimise load on the horses and maximise speed. It’s true!
一见发财！Looks like there’s an audition for sugar daddies going on. LOL.
We became the unofficial half-time entertainment for guests at the turf with our personas.
Halloween is the only time you can say that a horrific party is actually the best ever.
Having a fangtastic and ghoul time with new and old friends.
The thoughtful party was a cozy and intimate catching up session away from crowded clubs downtown and transportation was convenient as Singapore Turf Club is a short walk to Kranji MRT Station.
On the train, I finally revealed what had been hidden throughout the party…
Everyone can see the make-up outside, but only we know the devil within. Don’t let it eat you alive.
Happy Halloween!
