After two years without crowds, the $120 million Victorian Spring Racing Carnival is back on track as Melbourne’s Flemington racecourse prepares to host the race that stops a nation.
As horses, connections, owners and fans get ready for the 162nd running of the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday, there’s a lot to celebrate, with Group 1 races (Derby was run on Saturday), 29 country cups, the reopening of the famous Birdcage Enclosure and the famous CBD parade.
