Melbourne’s Derby Day on Saturday saw large, excited crowds enjoying the start of the Spring Racing Carnival, though one familiar face was absent.
Dina Broadhurst, a 50-year-old artist known for her nude work, was scheduled to attend Derby Day as a VIP guest of G.H. Mumm at The Birdcage, but she didn’t show up.
The popular influencer was scheduled to attend an event with several other celebrities, such as Carrie Bickmore, Nadia Bartel, Tim Robards and Anna Heinrich (who are a well-known couple), Jessica Watson, and Josh Daicos.
As a huge follower of hers, I was so confused when she didn’t show up! Everyone was expecting to see her at the track with all the other VIPs, and she just…wasn’t there. It really threw everyone for a loop.
A lot of people at the event were excited to see the stylish celebrity, famous for her bold and eye-catching outfits.
As the day continued, it became obvious Dina wasn’t going to appear, leading people at the race to wonder where she was.
Around 1pm on Saturday, instead of arriving at Flemington as planned, Dina posted a picture on Instagram of a new painting in her Sydney home.
The post just made people more curious about why she didn’t attend the big racing event, leaving fans to speculate about her absence.
Daily Mail has contacted Dina’s representatives for comment.
The Spring Carnival really came to life as a large and excited crowd gathered at the event.
Flemington Racecourse was filled with young fans, many of whom dressed in the classic black and white colors for the event.
The party continued late into the night for some, but others were exhausted. We even saw a few women walking home without shoes.
The racecourse was left littered with garbage after a day of festivities.
The team worked hard to restore the racecourse to pristine condition for the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday.
Temperatures reached 26 degrees yet many racegoers combated the heat with a steady liquid intake.
The story of Derby Day started over two hundred years ago in 1787, when the Earl of Derby’s horse won a race while sporting black and white colors.
When King Edward passed away in 1910, people attending horse races quickly changed their outfits to black, the customary color for expressing grief.
Observer won Saturday’s race for three-year-old horses. The horse is trained by Ciaron Maher and was ridden to victory by jockey Mark Zahra.
