History Of Melbourne Cup
|
Sponsored by the VRC, the Melbourne Cup is for 3 year olds
and older and is run over a 3200 meter course. 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.
The Melbourne Cup 2mile handicap was introduced in 1861
and is now the richest handicap in the world with prize money of over
$6,000,000.
The first ever Melbourne Cup was won by a horse called Archer
with the event featuring 17 horses. The prize money on offer back then
was £170 plus a prestigious gold watch. With 150 years of history,
the Melbourne Cup now draws over 100,000 people to Flemington Racecourse
every year.
