Flemington Racecourse, 29 October - 5 November
The Melbourne Cup is without a doubt Australia's most famous horse race. The Cup is known by all simply as "the race that stops a nation". The first Tuesday in November sparks the interest of millions of Australians every year - people from all walks of life stand still as one to watch a single horse race that lasts no more than a few minutes.
The Melbourne Cup is a 3200m handicap and one of Melbourne's biggest annual sporting events with cause for a public holiday in Victoria. With a colourful 144-year history, it proves that one horse race can capture the imagination of a nation.
The thing that makes the Melbourne Cup so different from other horse races is that the day is not just about the horse racing - it's the atmosphere, the fashion, and the numerous punters looking to strike it big. The Cup's history dates back to 1861 where only a few thousand people turned out for the premiere race and the winner received a few hundred dollars worth of rewards. These days the race is the highlight of the Spring Racing Carnival which is a four-day horse racing spectacular including Australian and International entrants all looking for a place in racing history.
The Melbourne Cup now draws upwards of 100,000 people to Flemington Racecourse every year. The total value of the Cup is now worth some $5 million dollars making it the wealthiest horse racing handicap anywhere in the world.
