The place to watch the races |
Epsom Road Flemington Melbourne, VIC 3031 +61 (0)3 9371 7171 http://www.vrc.net.au/ |
The home of the "race that stops the nation", Flemington Racecourse is the place to be on the first Tuesday in November when Australia's richest horse race, the Melbourne Cup is run. The race attracts the premier thoroughbreds from Australia and New Zealand with a handful of overseas raiders also trying their luck. Flemington has been home to the Cup since it started in 1861. These days it attracts more than 100,000 people. Other highlights of the Spring Racing Carnival are Derby Day and Oaks Day. Flemington also holds regular race meetings throughout the year.
