The Melbourne Cup is without a doubt Australia's most famous horse race and has long been regarded as the 'race which stops a nation'. The race is certainly the highlight of the Spring Racing Carnival and includes a field of both Australian and International Horses all looking for a place in racing history.
Sponsored by the VRC, the Melbourne Cup is for 3 year
olds and older and is run over a 3200 meter course. The Melbourne Cup
2mile handicap was introduced in 1861 and is now the richest handicap
in the world with prize money of over $5,000,000. Held on the first Tuesday in November at the Flemington Racecourse, millions of Australians from all walks of life stand still to watch a single horse race that lasts no more than a couple of minutes. With over 144 years of history, the Melbourne Cup now draws over 100,000 people to Flemington Racecourse every year.
